You probably never noticed before.

But go into the settings tab and check to it is not zoomed in. I noticed zoom makes it look like overhead almost, as if looking at hooking up for towing.

Take note that you can NOT see the RYG bars when zoomed in...
Looks just about right to me too! I can see my licence plate lights when not zoomed in...

I thought part of the point of the camera was to be able to see the bumper / trailer hitch. I don;t have one but it looks like a screen that I would want if I did.

Looks just like mine also. Does anyone have a problem at night with the display having a fuzzy blue reception? When I am backing up at night it is like the old days when we had rabbet ear antennas for the TV but with a blue haze. Once my motion detector lights come on at my house, it clears right up. Does anyone else have this problem at night?

rmblaster, I don't mean to hijack your thread. My display during the day shows exactly what yours is showing, bumper and all.

It looks like mine, but I never changed the zoom. I can always see my bumper as well.

Its better if you see the bumper, lets you truly gauge how far you are away from the closest object.

Common for a night vision view. Same with my brand x camera.

As for the OP, that view is almost perfect imo.
