seems they either go too high, too low, or both. i find nothing attractive about them either.

It’s kind of refreshing to see a different take on the screens.

‘’so NO…I don’t agree with you Bitkahuna

 

Love the Polsetar but hate the screens.

 

Large horizontal screens look way better.

 

It should always depend on the vehicle. As big as my Lightning is, a large horizontal screen wouldn't work as well. The screen orientation it has works best. There's no doubt the interior designers tried both orientations, in my car I think they made the right judgment call to orient it the way they did.

 

Depends on how the software and UX looks on them. But in general, i agree. Give me landscape/widescreen any day over vertical.

 

Good ideas posted above.
Yeah it seems like a landscape screen flows with how we are already use our cars.

Legacy cars with buttons and switches spanning the dash old school instead of up & down screens.
It would be an easier and more exciting transition for me if the time ever comes and I submit to go EV.

 

I don't use them anyway......I can't remember the last time I used the screen in my cars. There is not any useful feature that I bother to use onboard a car, phones do everything instead.

 

I’d prefer horizontal screens but (all) screens should be built into the dash so they don’t look like some laptop glued to the dash.

 

I don’t like vertical screens as much as horizontal.

 

I don't like really large ones that stick onto the dash like that, but well integrated I have no issue with them. Ram is a great example:

 

I do think they look awkward like that for sure.I test drove an XC40, and it looked better in that car— more integrated.

 

i know you know, but for others, this is what it looks like:




not as bad as the ones i posted first, but still looks very "added on" to me.

 

agree that looks better because it doesn't stick up over the top of the dash. overall that still looks like one hot mess.

 

Yes.....GM integrates virtually all of the screens they sell in American-market vehicle into the dash ....although I notice (below) that the latest second-generation Buick Encore (which is China-only, and not coming to the U.S.) got some cost-cutting inside and uses the cheaper Etch-a-Sketch design you mention.
