Just wondering if I should stick to Grey Scale or try the color?
How many shades can you differentiate? ......it's a no-brainer.
If you can afford the color set,buy it.
However,there has to be more than the need to differentiate the siginal strength,before you go to the color set.It's how you use it is more important,in my opinion.
I use Raymarine 770D.

For me... I can see the monchromatic better with my sunglasses (polaroid lenses) on better and much further in bright sun. If the color screen is in shade.....?
I prefer the monochromatic for my purposes, and my particular boat.
But, that is just my opinion, and my situation.
ND, Am looking at the 770d and was wondering how you like it and what kind of price am I looking at? Also looking at the Furuno gp 1850 and Garmin188c any comments would be appreciated. Huck
Screw it on color I am going to let it advance and come down in price. I might try one in a few years, just got my new black N white lowarance and its sweet!

i run lowrance units. grey has always been nice, but with my older eyes and now running navionics hotspot's chip with the detail. color all the way for me. get into a boat with both and decide which you prefer. i do run the sun shield which i was suprised that it doesn't really hinder viewing much at all.

I've just returned from the Gouin Reservoir in Northern Quebec. This was our first trip with color electronics, Lowrance 67C. My first impression was the screen sharpness, detailed structure and the color bottom separation made it extremely easy to determine whether we were on rock, sand or mud.
The walleye were deep and oriented to sand rock transitions. The crisp screen detail made it very easy for me to troll breaklines and work the productive areas - I'm hooked on the advancements and look forward to putting them into play on the Ottawa river.
