I am planning to order 6600 pretty soon and just wonder about Maestro resolution.
Maestro has 1280 x 800 resolution, while Flex "M" version has 1920x1080 pixels.
Does Flex planning to cell their stock of 1280x1080 and switch to 1920x1080?
Any plans to offer 1920x1080 vesion for few more dollars?
Now, I am not looking for answers that 1280x800 is good enough, just wonder if higher resolution screen will be offered.
Thanks

I don't think it will happen,,as Tim said there are no plans for it.
As Dave mentioned things would need to be re worked in order to change the screens. So the question is, why do it?
Because I am willing to pay more for sharper monitor :)
Fair enough. I probably would as well if given the choice. Needed or not :)
If the new screens never came out on the new radios, know one would have known anything.
I really don't think Flex is going to re design the Maestro to work with the new screen. And there is not a good reason for it.

Today I spoke with Flex support. I pointed out that the Flex website listed the Maestro screen resolution at 1280 x 800. They checked and then stated that I had found an erroneous specification on the Flex website. In fact, the Maestro definitely has the identical resolution of 1920 x 1200 as the 6400M/6600M models.

Who in support said that? Maestro is WXGA which is 1280 x 800. Unless the specs on their site are wrong.
(Edited)
My post is accurate and self explanatory. 1920 x 1200 is the Maestro resolution.
Since when?
David Decoons wo2x, Elmer
Again, who in support made that statement?
Nope. The Maestro isn’t 1920 x 1200. You can see Michael had to think about it and just got mixed up. Tim or Michael will jump in shortly and clear this up.
That might be the case, but I do wish someone from Flex would clarify. Just to add from the comments on this video, this guy. says he called Flex yesterday and this is what they told him:
Tim - W4TME, Customer Experience Manager
The Maestro display resolution is 1280x800. The website is and has always been correct.
The M model radio's display resolution is 1920x1200. It is NOT identical to the Maestro.

So, I made a mistake and the resolutions are different, however, when you look both side by side, you can't see the difference at all. Larry and I are on the phone now discussing it.
I personally apologize for any confusion. I learned something last night when I double checked.

Michael, we all make mistakes. However, I would very much like a definitive answer as to if it's an 8" or 9" diagonal display and also 1920 x 1200 IPS or 1280 x 800.
Tim - W4TME, Customer Experience Manager
The internal IPS display resolution is 1920x1200 and the HDMI display mirrors the internal display. The internal display is 8" on the diagonal
All of this information is on the website. It is and always has been correct.

Also, it is always better/cheaper for any manufacturer to go with one model of HW instead of two.
Unless they have an old stock.

800x600 is fine for an 8 inch display.

All I am saying, Flex have higher resolution display available, why not offer them?
If you would have 2 options with 1280x800 and 1920x1080 with let’s say 100$ difference which one would you choose?

I have a hardware V1 Maestro at my office and v2 Maestro at home and am perfectly satisfied with 800x600. At a screen size of 8 inches.
Now if I take my 50” 4k monitor and were to plug it into a source at 800x600 I would not be happy.
I have not seen the inside of the front panel on the M model but we are told that it is significantly different than the tablet in the Maestro.

I recently switched from two 24” 1080p monitors to two 27” 4 k monitors and run SDR IQ with SDR console SW on them, resolution results in a beautiful , sharp and detailed waterfall.
Again, I am asking why not offer 1080p resolution Maestro if it available on M version?
I am aware of Flex explanation about M version output 1080p to external monitor. But again, screen on M radios has 1080p resolution, why not to have it as option on just Maestro console.
I am not here to make an arguments, just wonder if Flex will offer it in a future and/or maybe to give them an idea that some of us could be interested in it.
