Default does anyone have a blue secs monitor?

just wondering what they looked like both in the dash, and at night etc

are they easy to read like the green ones, as i know some blue displays can be a bit hard to read.

any pics appreciated

gonna be buying one soon

just cant decide between green and blue

Pete Warleydaddy had one in his old 3dr & Nightdavva has a blue monitor. Haven't got no pics sorry, but sure they will put some up.

Personally i prefer the green myself

The blue one can be hard to read at some angles,but you can adjust the contrast to make them brighter......

And they do look rather cool...

need to see one in the flesh i think

its true, pics dont do them justice, but i imagine the green may be a little clearer due to the better contrast

I'd get Green Ginge......... But only as it would match my defi's & dash!

I think the blue looks to new age / blingy....

boost gauge is all in and up and running now, looks awesome at night, shame i cant get black faced dials with blue numbers, only white ones

And would you rather look at a pony looking digital clock or the piece of eye candy you've got on you wrist!
