sasdiscos Posted March 20, 2019 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Hi all, Can any one tell me if the resolution of the 1210 is actually good enough to suit its size? What do the icons look like etc? Im thinking of getting one for my next project. Many thanks, Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Flex727 Posted March 20, 2019 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 The resolution of the V1210 is 800 x 600. I've always thought the resolution of the Vision PLCs could be improved, especially the V570, which should be 640x480 instead of 320x240, but I've done a lot of work with the V1210 and found it to be adequate.

sasdiscos Posted March 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 Cheers flex, would a v700 be better? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Flex727 Posted March 21, 2019 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 The V700 is 800x480, lower resolution in the vertical direction, but a much smaller size screen so it appears much sharper. My choice would be determined by how much screen real estate you need and whether the wide screen form factor of the V700 is more suitable to your application. Another consideration is that the V700 has a different Ethernet adapter and can accommodate 8 Ethernet Sockets simultaneously instead of only 4 for the V1210.

MVP 2021 Joe Tauser Posted March 22, 2019 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 When I put a V700 on a project (which is my go-to model these days) I often get the comment "Couldn't you have used a bigger screen?" Gah. We sell a lot of 1210's for that reason. Actual screen sharpness has never been a complaint. They're not watching the Netflix on this thing. In the end you just need to decide how big of a screen you want. Joe T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVP 2021 Ausman Posted March 22, 2019 MVP 2021 Report Share Posted March 22, 2019 I'm lucky, because in most of my cases there is little or no screen interaction needed by clients. Just a host of error messages might come up as needed, but the main one that says "everything is ok.....go away and don't touch anything." But for my use only there are myriad screens. Fortunately I can fit all I need into a 130 display due to the cascading way I arrange things, that works best for my jobs anyway! "What? You want a big screen? To see the ON & OK message a bit more easily?" Bah humbug! cheers, Aus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I LOVE the V700. It has a nice modern look and feel with a wide-screen format and plenty of pixels to work with. The built-in Ethernet is a huge plus as well.
