For those asking about transparent background for the on screen information, I have tried that mode on my PM695 and I can report that I found it vey hard to see the readings against some backgrounds so quickly reverted to the opaque background. Just my 2 Cents worth.
I will take a PM695 thermal image in the two modes and attach it to this message later for information.
Update: Pictures uploaded. Some provide clear text against the background, others not so clear. With a solid background the text is very clear in all cases. It is a matter of personal choice, but I use a solid background with the reduced (single tier) data block rather than the 3 tier extended data block. I am surprised that the Ex series does not offer a choice of on screen data display preferences, but I have to remind myself that it is the basic entry level series aimed at simple use..
