Garmin STRIKER Vivid 5CV 5" Fish Finder with Transducer

The Garmin STRIKER Vivid 5cv is the mid-entry tier, a step up from the STRIKER 4/Plus 4 entry tier and a step down from the ECHOMAP UHD2 mainstream tier. Priced at $349. It's a compact 5" fishfinder with a color "Vivid" display and CHIRP + ClearVü sonar. Garmin uses "Vivid" to describe the color palette, sharper, brighter, higher-contrast colors than the original STRIKER line, making fish and structure more distinguishable at a glance. This model is transducer included. The included GT20-TM transom-mount transducer delivers CHIRP and ClearVü down imaging, the cv sonar suite.

The value story is specific: you get ClearVü down imaging at a price point where ECHOMAP UHD2 doesn't go. The STRIKER Vivid line doesn't support LiveScope, Panoptix live sonar, LakeMaster VX cartography chips, or NMEA 2000 networking. If you don't need those features, you get real CHIRP + ClearVü at $200 less than the comparable ECHOMAP UHD2 unit.

Key Features

  • ✅ 5" Color "Vivid" Display, sharper colors than original STRIKER, button controls (NOT touchscreen)
  • ✅ GT20-TM Transducer Included, CHIRP + ClearVü in a transom-mount unit
  • ✅ CHIRP + ClearVü Sonar, mid-entry tier sonar suite
  • ✅ Built-In GPS + Quickdraw Contours, record 1-foot lake maps as you fish, up to 2 million acres
  • ✅ ActiveCaptain Community Compatible, share and download Quickdraw maps
  • ✅ IPX7 Waterproof
  • ✅ Low Power Draw, small battery friendly
  • ❌ No LiveScope or Panoptix Support, mid-entry tier limit
  • ❌ No LakeMaster VX / CoastMaster Cartography Chip Support, Quickdraw only for mapping
  • ❌ No Touchscreen, button controls only
  • ❌ No NMEA 2000 Networking, standalone unit, won't network with other Garmin electronics

Who This Is For

This unit is best for kayak anglers, jon boat owners, small pontoon owners, and budget-conscious recreational anglers. Step up: the ECHOMAP UHD2 53cv (~$450) adds touchscreen, pre-loaded cartography, NMEA 2000, and (for the 7" only) LiveScope compatibility. Step down: STRIKER Vivid 5cv is already the entry point for the color Vivid tier.

Choose This If...

  • You want ClearVü at the lowest price tier that includes them, step up from STRIKER 4/Plus 4 without reaching ECHOMAP UHD2 pricing.
  • You don't need LiveScope or Panoptix, this tier doesn't support live sonar at all.
  • You're fine with button controls instead of touchscreen, if you want touchscreen, step up to ECHOMAP UHD2.
  • You don't need pre-loaded cartography, Quickdraw records YOUR lake maps. If you want Navionics or LakeMaster VX, step up to ECHOMAP UHD2.
  • You fish 12-18 ft aluminum boats, jon boats, kayaks, small pontoons, and ice fishing shelters (with ice transducer accessory), the 5" size fits.
  • Your budget is around $349, mid-entry tier with real ClearVü.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does "Vivid" mean?

"Vivid" refers to Garmin's color palette, sharper, brighter, higher-contrast colors than the original STRIKER line. Makes fish arcs, bottom composition, and ClearVü structure detail easier to see at a glance.

Does this support LiveScope or Panoptix?

No. The STRIKER tier does not support LiveScope Plus, LiveScope XR, LiveScope Original, or any Panoptix live sonar product. If live forward-looking sonar is on your wish list, step up to ECHOMAP UHD2 7"+ tier.

What's the difference between cv and sv?

"cv" means CHIRP + ClearVü (down imaging only). "sv" adds SideVü side imaging. The 5cv is a cv unit without SideVü. Step up to 7sv or 9sv for SideVü.

Can I add a cartography chip (LakeMaster VX, Navionics+)?

No. STRIKER Vivid units use Quickdraw Contours for mapping, you record your own lake contours as you fish. They do NOT support LakeMaster VX, CoastMaster Premium, Navionics+, or any other cartography chip. If you want pre-loaded maps, step up to ECHOMAP UHD2.

Does it support NMEA 2000 networking?

No. STRIKER Vivid is a standalone unit, does not network with other Garmin electronics. If you need networked radar, cameras, or multi-display setups, step up to ECHOMAP UHD2 or Ultra 2.

Is this used in tournaments?

Rarely at competitive levels. STRIKER Vivid is recreational/mid-entry tier. Tournament anglers typically run ECHOMAP UHD2, Ultra 2, or GPSMAP units with LiveScope or Panoptix live sonar.

How is this different from ECHOMAP UHD2?

Three main differences: (1) ECHOMAP UHD2 has touchscreen; STRIKER Vivid has buttons. (2) ECHOMAP UHD2 supports LakeMaster/CoastMaster/Navionics cartography chips; STRIKER Vivid is Quickdraw-only. (3) ECHOMAP UHD2 7"+ supports LiveScope via GLS 10; STRIKER Vivid does not at any size. Pricing reflects these differences, ECHOMAP UHD2 is typically $200-$300 more at comparable screen sizes.

Can I use this for ice fishing?

Yes, with an ice transducer accessory (sold separately). The STRIKER Vivid 5cv Ice Fishing Bundle ($450) is purpose-built if you want a complete ice setup, saves the hassle of buying ice transducer separately.

Overall great value, for the stated purpose of being a portable monitor
Size: 15.6" 1080P
This is a review of two monitors: MNN Portable Monitor 15.6inch FHD 1080P (no model number listed) M156F01 is marked on the box Arzopa Portable Monitor, 15.6'' 1080P model number: “S1 Table” I ordered the Arzopa monitor first, as kind of an impulse buy. I was going to be traveling and wanted to take my mini Ryzen 9 PC with me, but it had no monitor. I found the Arzopa monitor had good reviews and the price was right so I ordered. Then later I discovered it was a MATTE panel. I’m not sure how I missed that earlier, but I would NOT have ordered it if I knew that it was matte. Matte finishes on monitors are supposed to be easier on eyes as the matte surface supposedly reduces glare. But in my experience, there is a problem with this feature. First, any monitor positioned properly should never have a problem with glare. For example, you don’t position a monitor facing a large window or another source of strong light. If your monitor is positioned correctly, glare should not be a possible problem to be solved. Second, the matte finish on most monitors I have seen tends to greatly distort the picture quality. Imagine you are standing outside at noon, but the area you are in is foggy. The view you have of your surroundings (through a light fog) is similar to the picture quality of any matte finish monitor. At least, in my experience. I was sitting in front of my two large (not portable) monitors, thinking about the mistake I made in ordering a matte finish portable monitor. And I realized…I was so used to using dual monitors that I would really want two monitors for travel, also. I read some reviews of the MNN monitor and someone described it as a GLOSSY panel. Perfect. I decided to order the MNN to use as my “primary” travel monitor with the Arzopa to be used as my “second” monitor for a dual monitor setup while traveling. That led to mistake number 2. They are both matte finish. When I realized this, they had both shipped. And they were delivered very quickly , both arriving on the same day. I decided to give these monitors a try, and I’m glad I did. While they are both described officially as “matte”, the picture qualify is closer to what I would expect from a true “glossy” surface computer monitor. And they both have much more than acceptable image quality. So to compare them: FEATURES: Their features are identical other than their physical controls. For adjusting these monitors, there is a difference between them, and I PREFER one over the other, as far as controls go. Arzopa has multi-function push buttons on the left to adjust settings like brightness/contrast. MNN has push-buttons and a teeny tiny joystick on the right to adjust settings like brightness/contrast. I think this is an odd design decision for a -portable- monitor. The Arzopa controls are both more intuitive and (I believe) probably more sturdy / more likely to be reliable over time. We’ll see if the tiny joystick of the MNN survives a few trips bouncing around in my checked bags. DISPLAY QUALITY I was very pleasantly surprised by the image quality of both of these monitors. I would rate them both a solid 9/10 on image quality. I’ve seen better, but only with OLED panels. Between the two if I had to pick a winner for image quality it would be the MNN. But the difference is so slight. I think they both deserve a “9”. While I can tell they are both matte (and I do not like that) the matte finish of these monitors is not as “foggy” as most matte monitors. It’s not matte enough to detract from the overall image quality, which is great. The factory settings of both monitors had the brightness (black lefel) set too high. Brightness is what controls how “black” black items will appear. If the Brightness is set too high, then something which should be color black will appear to be gray or (worse) even light gray. After I turned down the brightness a bit on both monitors, the black level of both was very satisfying. Speakers: I would never try to use speakers on a portable monitor, so I can’t comment on this. I don’t think the Arzopa even has speakers, but it doesn’t matter, as I would not use those. STAND: They have virtually identical magnetically attached pleather stands that can be used to support the monitors in vertical or horizontal orientation. The magnets on both are pretty weak. However, it should be adequate for use on a solid desk or table. You might not be happy on an airplane if you hit turbulence at all. Summary and suggestion for improvement: I would give both of these a 4-star rating on the Amazon scale. To earn a 5-star rating I would suggest: 1) Replace the magnetic stand with something that attaches to the monitor more firmly. 2) Include a USB-C cable with a right-angle connector on one end. For dual monitor use, these both have cables sticking out the left side. If you want to set them side by side, you need to keep them about 2” apart, because the cables interfere with setting them close together, like you want to. The most obvious solution would be a right-angle USB-C cable. I have ordered one. But it would cost nothing for Arzopa and MNN to include this. 3) Make the above changes without increasing the price. If you could do that, I would rate these monitors a solid 5/5. There are better monitors for sale. But for the stated purpose and price? These are close to what I would want. Very close. FINAL THOUGHT: (Which One Should I Buy?) There are many portable monitors available with plenty of options in the same relative price range. The two I am reviewing here are a couple of the most highly rated. If you are trying to choose between these two specific monitors, I would recommend you buy the Arzopa. While the MNN has slightly better image quality, they both have really good image quality. I think the design of the Arzopa is just a bit more appropriate for the stated purpose of being portable. If you are leaning toward the MNN however, I would not discourage you from buying it. If you’ve narrowed down your decision to these two specific monitors, I don’t think you can possibly choose “wrong” if you buy only one of them. They both exceeded my expectations.

Great case - does its job!
Color: Black, Size: Case for iPad (A16) 11th/10th Generation 11/10.9''
This is a great case for a kid (or adult) who is rough on their iPad. My kids iPad has been dropped, thrown, etc. and the case has done its job. We like having the built in screen protector which is fairly easy to clean. The case has a strap and a kickstand if needed and looks professional if that’s important to you. Worth the money!

Durable, Full iPad protection, Good quality for the price, variety of colors
Color: Navy Blue, Size: Case for iPad (A16) 11th/10th Generation 11/10.9''
I am very happy with this SEYMAC case. The build quality is excellent—solid, rugged, and clearly designed to protect the iPad. The full body coverage with the built in screen protector gives me a lot of peace of mind, especially since this iPad gets used by my daughter for her art projects and she takes it everywhere. The 360° rotating hand strap and stand are surprisingly useful. The rotation is smooth, the strap feels secure, and the stand locks into angles that actually work well for drawing or watching videos. The added shoulder strap is a great touch too—it makes carrying the iPad hands free incredibly convenient. The strap doesn’t get used as much because it is typically in a bag or in her hand as she creates. The fit is perfect for the 10th gen iPad, and all the ports, buttons, and cameras line up exactly as they should. The Navy Blue color looks clean and professional without being boring. The added stylus holder is a plus as well. Overall, this case delivers outstanding protection and functionality. Its durable, designed well, and absolutely worth the price. I Highly recommended for anyone who wants serious protection without sacrificing usability. It also comes in a variety of colors so you can fit your personal style preferences.
