Previously I ran an LVS32 with a 93SV plus. I was interested in upgrading to a 126SV, but I chose to get the 106SV instead. I seen where folks said to get the screen closer to your eyes, and so I did, and I loved it. That's partly why I selected the 10" model instead of the 12" I thought the 9" looked better up higher, so the ten would be just fine. And to try to mount a heavier 12" that high would require major hardware.

So a 10" it was, and I would also be upgrading to HD, as the 93sv was not an hd model. cool

This setup is not high enough. I was able to use a 15" arm on a 1" ram mount for the 93sv, but believe it or not, the 106sv weighs seemingly more than twice what the 93sv weighed. So I used a 6" arm on a 1.5 inch ball as you can see. I still have to figure out how to raise it at least a little more IMHO.

Anyway, my first impression is that there was absolutely nothing wrong with the 9" screen. Spending a grand on a ten inch was kinda a waste IMO. I'm OK with it only because I now can do side imaging in HD, and the 106SV easily networks with my old unit. But my advise to anyone out there that feels the need to get a larger screen just for livescoping, take the time to raise it closer to your line of sight first. You might not need to spend the money. Just My Opinion, and who knows, with time it might change.
