Contrast is just an adjustment of a pot.. They way I have seen most set is the normal adjustment.. you can darken the characters a bit but then you may see some artifacting... This is basicaly a dot matrix display and the contrast for all like displays is about the same.. To get significantly greater you need a segmented lcd display like the explorer.. the shape of the segments makes it a higher contrast.. The other alternative is to change the display to one that uses a different color combination, it will be better for some and worse for others..

I have poor vision myslef but have felt the HH has been one of the more readable displays that I have used.. I can read it alot easier than I can read a vr3..

Thanks for the info. I'm glad you can see the displays so well. Still, you asked for input and I think the displays could (should) be easier to see. Just something I wish the idea people at Juergensen would take another look at the next time they're sitting around brainstorming.

I do like the HH electronics and wouldn't want to go into the water without them. Most of the time I can see the displays pretty well, but there are times that I do struggle to see what's going on. I think more contrast would be helpful in those situations.

Regards,

Bill
