A television programme compared the system on both Mercedes-Benz and
BMW. The winner is clear: Mercedes-Benz.

The BMW has the most crappy and most ridiculous system. One cannot
really discern the detail on BMW other than the 'heat blobs'. I had
trouble making out the detail and such when they showed the screen from
7-Series. It was equivalent of seeing the output from Fisher-Price
PXL-2000 (also known as the PixelVision and the KiddieCorder) that used
the regular audio cassette for storage. The journalist reported that the
driver must glance so much away from the road to look at the BMW screen.

On a 5-Series, head-up display (rather than the LCD screen) is
yellow-coloured with oval guides denoting the human bodies when they
walk. Still can't tell them apart.

Mercedes-Benz is so 'sparkling' clear that one cannot mistake others for
anything else. The detail is astounding and intricate. It is like
screening a programme on black-and-white television set.

I'm sold on that night vision system from Mercedes-Benz!
