Great side by side review of both systems. If it were my money today, I'd have to plop down the bucks for the Garmin. That said, and you're spot on with this Jay, an update or two and the Lowrance might just take it over the Garmin. Just as a note on the interference, depending on the power each unit is putting out, a separation of 10-15' would likely solve that issue and even on open water between boats I really don't see that being a cause for concern if you are thinking of investing in the Lowrance.

Something to know about livescope, the cable housing cracks right at the grommet on the transducer. It's a common problem. After 4 months mine cracked and now I'm waiting for a back ordered transducer. They were good about it warrenty wise but it cut my season short as far as electronics go. Summit makes a brace to protect against this problem, wish I knew that a few months ago!

I use Garmin, but I think Lowrance won. But I also think Lowrance had so many years to get this right and they did finally, that was after they screwed a lot of their fans out of MONEY with LiveSight. I like the competition between all three major fish finder companies I think they will all make each other better. I can't wait to see what hummingbird have coming out.

Lowrance hands down on detail and brightness of targets. But I would use a different palate than the red one you picked.
Could be the processor in the head unit causing the lag?
Cant go wrong with either one. Lowrance will be tweaking their firmware in the coming months to make it even better.

Nice work Jay. One thing that that seems to affect range on livescope is voltage. At 16v seems cleaner and easier to pick out 12inch kokanee well over 100ft. Later in the day below 14v gets less crisp. Your unit was at 12. 2v during the test. Just my impressions this season.

Great video both awesome Units. I just got a lowrance tripleshot 7x and for the $400 I paid I absolutely love the thing. Easy to use and set up. Only downside I have found is they can be touchy with voltage, if you are a little low on volts they will act a little funky

the delay on Lowrance is unacceptable. You had three cranks on the reel before the Lowrance screen showed the fish strike. This is not Memorex. We want it as live as possible. So you have to move around a little more with Garmin because the range is about third less.

Great video. However, I feel your angle on the Garmin Forward view is off. I have no problem picking up 8 perch 100ft away. When I see you click in the angle for the ducer it looked like it was facing down too much. Thanks for the info Jay!

Great video! Ive found that when Im searching at farther distance with my livescope if you increase the gain significantly you can pickup crappies 80-100ft. Youll have some interference but the fish will standout in the clutter.

I kept confusing which one you were talking about during this clip. You referred to them as Livescope/Active Target, but the labels on the screen say Garmin/Lowrance. Not everyone watches sober, you crazy Canucks!
