You can save some bucks if you go with the LVS32 instead of the LVS34. The Livescope unit with the LVS32 and UHD 93sv will cost you $1700 during the Bass Pro/Cabela black Friday sale. This is the set up I have. I personal preference if the 34 is worth the price difference over the 32. For me the price difference was worth it but again it is a personal preference. I'm new to Livescope so i'm going to take the money saved and hire a guide to flatten the learning curve for me. You could also go with the LVS32 and use the money saved to get another UHD 93SV and use one for the Livescope and one of the console. You then link them together to share information. This is my plan and I am keeping my eye out for a used UHD 93SV unit to put on my console.

Thanks, I like the idea of linking 2 units together. Still undecided exactly what to do

Linking 2 together is nice however if you wanted a strictly livescope dedicated unit i'd get the lvs-32 & a bigger head unit. There will be some on sale for black friday for sure.

Get the biggest monitor you can afford. Don’t think you will be happy with the 9 inch and wish you would have as soon as you turn it on.
12 inch minimum in my opinion.
The LVS 32 is just as good and some say they like it better than the LVS 34.
I’ve been running a 12 inch monitor and LVS32 for almost 2 years and thinking( more like wishing) I had a 16 inch unit. Might pull the trigger soon.
Just my opinion and hope I haven’t offended anybody with a 93sv.
Also I might add. Try to get your unit as high up as possible. If not you will have a sore neck.
Oh yeah, a visor on the unit helped me with glare.
Good luck on your decision and happy fishing.

I'm offended. Devil Icon :Rofl I have a uhd 93 sv & haven't had a problem with it but wish i had a bigger unit. A 12" would be nice & i may pick one up later on. The 93 works good but bigger is definitely better with as much as we're looking at the screens nowadays.

Les,
Dang:!Heck Fire::
Definitely for sure not trying to OFFEND ANYONE::::not my style.
Just my observation based on 2 years of staring at that thing!!!
Wish I could rig my 65 inch TV on the front of my boat for sure.
And at my age the old eyes aren’t what they used to be either and neck gets sore if I look at my dinner plate too long trying to figure out what the wife has cooked.. Haha… glad she doesn’t read CDC.
I am sticking to my guns on the visor helping with the glare!!!
Peace, and Love:::
Chuck

I totally agree Chuck I wish mine was bigger too. Maybe someday & you do know i was just kidding about being offended. :ThumbsUp

I'm gonna get the 126sv for Black Friday from BPS. I have a 93sv plus and a LVS32. I'll have to report the improvement if any much. Sure bigger is better, but if the resolution is the same I can't see that it's all that better, IMHO. I'm hoping going to a high def unit will help too. And believe me, I need all the help I can get. I can find my jig sometimes, and other times I just want to sink the boat.

That’s cool Slab.
Got a couple friends that run that unit and are happy with it.
Just a little info:::
My next door neighbor works in the fishing electronic department at the local Bass Pro only 3 miles from me.
We were talking about the Black Friday Sale and he advised that our store has only 22 total units advertised to sell on Black Friday.
I think he said it opens at 6 and as usual the line will be outrageously long. They will be sold out in a matter of minutes after the store opens its doors.
I’m assuming people will get a rain check???? Not sure if buying online differs regarding the Black Friday deal.
Just saying!!
Good luck.

I have won several thousand dollars with a 10” unit, a 12” or bigger isn’t the be all end all. How high you mount the graph plays a big role too. I would rather have a 9” close to my eyes than a 12” on the deck. Getting a 12” is fine if you have the money but I disagree with waiting around forever saving money for a 12”. Bass Pro has the Lvs32 for $999 right now, never a better time than now to get into forward facing sonar if someone is interested.

Sales flyer says “first come, first served, limited quantities while supplies last, no dealers, no rain checks”.

That’s kinda what I figured but wasn’t sure and didn’t ask my neighbor.
That’s the way Bass Pro operates.
I’ll refrain from voicing my opinion.
“ I wouldn’t stand in line that long to see Elvis”. Lol
But you can be assured the place will be crazy busy.

Same, I don’t like crowds anyway. While it would be nice to have higher resolution I’m quite happy with my 93sv. They are expensive enough already.

Yep i made a mount & attached a scotty mount to it that has my 93 sv 2 feet above the deck which is very close to the level of my flipping seat. I can loosen a handle & let it lay down when running then raise it up tighten handle & go back at it. It helps big time. The only thing i have against a garmin 9 " is that it's small but hopefully i'll be able to do something about that a little later on.

Just a FYI, you don't have to wait til Black Friday for the Livescope unit. They have it now the bargain cave for $999.

That includes the black box, lbs 32 and all the wiring. The 93 unit is on sale for $699. now. That’s a saving of $500 on the livescope and $350 more on the 93. Can get a fishing specialty pole with the money you’ll save. If you’re interested in livescope, now is the time to get it. I did. Gonna use this second setup for my icefishing.

No worries on the height of the unit is me …..because ….
Bets money it won’t be long before the Bluetooth to LS interface gamer goggles comes out , just saying …:Rofl
And if they didn’t think of that already , they dang sure are now ….:yikes

I have a 93sv at the helm and a 12" for my LS. Go ahead and bite the bullet for a 12" or get a 93sv with a tall adjustable mount to bring a smaller unit closer. I recommend one from BeatDown Outdoors. Love mine.

I pulled the trigger on the listed deal in post #1, it seems like a good price and I currently have 9 inch screens and have no problems seeing them. Now just need the temps to climb about 30 degrees outside
