The Cobalt uses a high contrast, full-color OLED (organic light-emitting diode) screen with brightly colored digits displayed on a black background. Illumination can be adjusted from a dull glow to an intense blast of light and color. Navigating the menu is simple. The four magnetic buttons direct
you to the various menus for setting dive parameters and personal info. We’ve never used a system so straightforward and intuitive. The screen is divided into three sections, which include everything a diver needs at a glance.
BOTTOM LINE The ultimate in cutting-edge technology, the Cobalt offers all the goodies you could possibly want in an incredibly intuitive system. The Cobalt’s RGBM algorithm offers three user levels — standard (liberal), recreational (middle-of-the-road) and conservative. It earned a Testers’ Choice for a console-style DC and is one of our two overall favorite data crunchers for 2010.
