#Crosshair overlay update
The current monitors initially support only red, white, and black (as per update v. There is a limit to how many colors the OSD can support. The limitations made it impossible to implement an opacity option or an RGB slider. Macro that input to something to talk to the screen, thinking it would at best be a cludgy hardcoded feature with where tech is at these days, but potentially useful to those that dial it in to their needs. Be a trick, but usually you hit a number key for most game inventories. Say going from a customized circle dot on a shotgun type weapon to just a standard dot for a rifle. Not sure it’d be possible yet, but imagine in the future being able to set up different reticles that would switch automatically as you change weapons in game. Other crosshair designs I could see people wanting is a dot, circle dot, maybe a “T” shaped (standard + with the top removed).ĭough’s open firmware and connectivity focus really leaves some cool development opportunity for the homegamers down the line. An option for opacity would be pretty slick too, most the ones I’ve seen are a big, blocky solid color and large enough to obstruct that critical sweet spot in the FOV more than anything. To compliment your input, maybe put RGB sliders to set the color. Something like you’re talking about would definitely set Dough apart and ahead of the crowd to me. I’ve never had the opportunity to try a monitor with the built in crosshair, but from the images I have seen they typically have looked far from useful. Hope Spectrum Monitor can set a new standard for flexible Crosshair Overlay Design in a future firmware update. Every game is different and a REAL Crosshair Overlay should have many Crosshair designs and lots of customization options to make the Crosshair design that fits the game you play. It is not a major feature if you can not use it in the games you play.

Just about every monitor manufacturer that have Crosshair Overlay make them very limited and then advertise them as it is a major feature. This way you can get a Crosshair design and size of Crosshair that fits just about every game you play. Optimal would also be if you could choose line density of the Crosshair. To make Crosshair Overlay useful you should AT LEAST have five different basic designs of the Crosshair like a PLUS, X, TRIANGLE, SQUARE and CIRCLE design.Īlso there should be at minimum of five or even teen different sizes ranging from very small to very large of each Crosshair design. PROBLEM IS that Crosshair Overlay is VERY LIMITED IN IT’S DESIGN with very few Crosshairs to choose from. 10th of February you sent out an mail advisement claiming CROSSHAIR OVERLAY to be a vital tool for gamers.
