Switching from AT and in limbo on which LVS transducer to go with. I’ve watched a hundred videos and read a hundred reviews, and everyone seems to have a different opinion.
From those that have used both, is the LVS 34 worth the difference in price?

Personally if I was to buy today I would always invest in the newest :twocents
... unless I find a super deal on the older. :biggrin
If your going with a 16” screen or bigger go with 34 if less a 32 ! .
just from what I’ve heard that most the smaller units can not process the information fast enough to interpret what the 34 sends in! :dono:dono
Don't know about size of screens as I have an 8616 with both installed. I pretty much Never use the 32 anymore. Scott

SlabProwler, can you provide a link?
Is this accurate?
I am consider LV32 or LV34 for 93sv. Can anyone provide a link to validate this? Searched Google and found no mention, either pro or con.
I have a 32 and my buddy has the 34. We both have 93sv and they both work just fine. I have heard the 34 has a very slight delay on any unit but not bad.
Dave, I’ll be mostly fishing canals. 30 - 50 foot from boat. Should the 9” display be adequate considering the close range or would a 10” screen be a lot better. Not only the additional cost but my boat is small.
Also 32 or 34?
Appreciate any and all opinions from you and others.
Thanks
Danny
Not sure about a link!
but it was on one of the crappie connection pod cast ! Brad Chappel / Todd Huckabee
They were discussing which one was better they had some guys on that has tried them both and they like the 32.
also Hayden Jefferies the young guy that’s winning all the big crappie tournaments said in one of the pod cast that he tried the 34 for a while and that he liked the 32 better :dono
I bought the 32 in November 2019, upgraded to the 34 in August 2022 with no regrets. I don't have to deal with weak zones with the 34 like I did with the 32.
SlabProwler,
according to this video Chapell seems to prefer the LS34.

Looking hard at a 1022/LS34, but boy - this stuff is expensive.
2021 Mr Crappie Invitational Winner - Jeff Larch - $100 G's - LS32
2022 Mr Crappie Invitational Winner - Hayden Jeffries - 100 G's - LS32
Neither of them liked the LS34. My transducer setup is identical to Jeff's, LS32 on top for Perspective Mode, and LS32 on bottom for Forward View. Only difference with my setup and Jeff's, is that my transducers are on a livescanner and Jeff's are on his trolling motor.
A buddy of mine has the LS34 and we really do not see any reason I should change to the LS34 as my LS32's work just fine.
My $.02 worth.
