Thread: Screen Size for Viewing 360

As big as you can afford. If you are looking at the difference in helix and solix you can view 360 larger on helix.

This may sound cavalier, but he's right. As big a screen as you can afford. It does not have to be a side image or even down image unit, a sonar unit will run 360.

A gen 1 Helix 12 would be a great bow unit for 360 viewing and probably the best bang for the buck... if you can find one used somewhere. 360 only uses the 455 frequency so a mega unit will not give you any better image than a gen 1 will, as far as the 360 image goes. A 10 inch screen would work fine too.... and some use smaller than that... but the Helix 12 is awesome with 360.

I use a 1198, it works good for me.
As they stated above bigger is better.

I kinda figured ; bigger is always better. Interesting info fellas. Joe ; why is Helix better for viewng 360? Thank you all...

The solix has wasted space on the sides the actual size that you see is bigger on helix than solix.

So let's say you are looking at 360 on a helix. It will go from one side to the other but on a solix you have about one inch on each side that is not being used. So helix 12 you get 12 inch wide view and solix 12 you get 10 inch wide view. Numbers I'm sure are wrong but you get the idea.
