"Fishthebite"
Sorry to cut in here but I have a related question I have the Humminbird 899ci HD SI Combo and had heard that the addition of the HD transducer was a big help for the screen resolution. Do you find that to be true?
Thoughts I don't know if I have the HD transducer or not, lol. I only know that there isn't enough screen for me to run both the chart and the sidescan and to be able to readily identify fish. And even with the chart off the resolution seems to be lacking. Of course my eyes have 5 decades of wear and tear now and my vision isn't as sharp as it I like to think it once was. And if someone else has great up close vision an 8" screen with high resolution may work great for them. Sorry but my 899 only has a 7" screen not an 8". And with the silly white block readout down the left hand side the usable part is really probably only 6". Which means that there is a big difference between the 899 and a true 8" screen like on the Helix or the Onyx Original poster...Cabela's has the 999ci on sale for 879.99. It has an 8" screen. The problem with the 999 is the block readout on the left hand side also which really eats a lot of the screen. I would keep an eye out for the 1199 to go on sale soon.

Pardner the 1199 has been on sale. A " steal of a sale " for a good while now.
