320x240 vs 480x480 color


zachp

Question

Is there much difference as far as screen definition goes for the 320x240 versus the 480x480 in the color depth finders? I have a LMS-334 and am considering getting another depth finder for the bow but would like to get something a bit cheaper and still stay in color.

Screen definition depends on pixels per square inch. If the 320x240 and the 480x480 have the same screen size, then the definition will be better on the 480x480.

If the pixels are the same size the screen will be rectangular with 320x240 and square with 480x480. Example, 2.4"x3.2" vs 4.8"x4.8".

if you fish alot and will be using the locator alot then i would go with the more pixel unit. You will be really glad you it, it give you a more defind look and will really bring out the detail alot better. my .02

As others posted, the higher the pixels the better the resolution (definition). Go with the highest pixel count in color you can afford.

I jumped from a 320 to a 640 last year for my bow unit. Wow. I just equaled it with my console unit because of how impressed I am with the 640 vertical pixels.

Reeds have a sale and closeout on the 334. At the Sportsman show now going on in MPLS, they were $450 out the door, that included sales tax. I picked one up and I'm sure they would still honor that if you called them by Monday. It seem like a great unit for that money, now have to find the time to learn how to use it.

      Very low, probably 2 feet lower than last year at ice out.

      what do they look like this spring?

      I might have missed a guess, but here are the ones that I noted:   JerkinLips – March 27th, then April 7th Brianf. – March 28th Bobberwatcher – April…. MikeG3Boat – April 10th SkunkedAgain – early April, then April 21st   Definitely a tough year for guesses, as it seemed to be a no-brainer early ice out. Then it got cold and snowed again.

      MN DNR posted April 13 as Ice out date for Vermilion

      On the south end...   Lots of ice on the main basin, but it is definitely deteriorating.  Some anglers have been fishing the open water at the mouth of the Rainy River in front of the Lighthouse Gap.  The rest of the basin is still iced over. Pike enthusiasts caught some big pike earlier last week tip up fishing in pre-spawn areas adjacent to traditional spawning areas.  8 - 14' of water using tip ups with live suckers or dead bait such as smelt and herring has been the ticket.  Ice fishing for all practical purposes is done for the year. The focus for the basin moving forward will be pike transitioning into back bays to spawn,  This is open water fishing and an opportunity available as the pike season is open year round on Lake of the Woods. The limit is 3 pike per day with one being able to be more than 40 inches. All fish 30 - 40 inches must be released. With both the ice fishing and spring fishing on the Rainy River being so good, many are looking forward to the MN Fishing Opener on Saturday, May 11th.  It should be epic. On the Rainy River...  An absolutely incredible week of walleye and sturgeon fishing on the Rain Rainy River.     Walleye anglers, as a rule, caught good numbers of fish and lots of big fish.  This spring was one for the books.   To follow that up, the sturgeon season is currently underway and although every day can be different, many boats have caught 30 - 40 sturgeon in a day!  We have heard of fish measuring into the low 70 inch range.  Lots in the 60 - 70 inch range as well.   The sturgeon season continues through May 15th and resumes again July 1st.   Oct 1 - April 23, Catch and Release April 24 - May 7, Harvest Season May 8 - May 15, Catch and Release May 16 - June 30, Sturgeon Fishing Closed July 1 - Sep 30, Harvest Season If you fish during the sturgeon harvest season and you want to keep a sturgeon, you must purchase a sturgeon tag for $5 prior to fishing.    One sturgeon per calendar year (45 - 50" inclusive, or over 75"). Most sturgeon anglers are either a glob of crawlers or a combo of crawlers and frozen emerald shiners on a sturgeon rig, which is an 18" leader with a 4/0 circle hook combined with a no roll sinker.  Local bait shops have all of the gear and bait. Up at the NW Angle...  Open water is continuing to expand in areas with current.  The sight of open water simply is wetting the pallet of those eager for the MN Fishing Opener on May 11th.   A few locals were on the ice this week, targeting pike.  Some big slimers were iced along with some muskies as well.  If you like fishing for predators, LOW is healthy!

      Early bird gets the worm some say...   I have it on good authority that this very special angler caught no walleyes or muskies and that any panfish caught were released unharmed.
