I am new to Thermal, I bought a Thor 4 640 1.5-15
I went out last night and I played with settings, but I feel like I am missing something.
Ever color pallet except black hot was very washed out. White out it was hard to pick out a coyote at less than 100 yards. Fusion, glowbow, ironbow, rain is a solid sheet of color with hardly any recognition of image.
Black hot however looks great so i ended up using that.
What setting should i look at changing. I noticed that if i got too much sky in the background the sky went jet black and the trees lit up bright white and washed out the field. (this was looking at treeline at about 100 to 150 yards.
I turned contrast to high, played with thermal sensor up and down.
Thank you.

I am having the exact same issue. It even does it some in Black Hot for me. I have to point the scope toward the ground in order for it to clear up. Cost me a yote lastnight. Not happy at all with this but no idea how to fix.

Same issue but only lately. Scope is more or less useless nowadays. All settings (contrast, thermal sens, colour palate, focus etc) even tried hard reset and updated to latest firmware. Same result. Mmmm. Weirdly vision though my mobile phone is pretty good. Not sure

Hey fellas,
Have also had all of the exact same problems and symptoms with my Mars 4 1.25 - 5. Only a month old but outside is nearly completely washed out at night unless looking at ground far beneath what I'm targeting. Like it over adjusts when it has part of the cold sky in the picture. Will get a photo and/or video tomorrow if I can. Are we thinking it's a warranty problem or a setting? Have tried tweaking the contrast and thermal sensitivity but to no avail unfortunately.

Might check your Display setting. It allows 1-5. Outside at night I usually run 2 maybe 3 at the most. If I was looking through it for an extended time and had better eyesight I might try 1. With Medium/High contrast and thermal sensitivity set to around 3 mine looks pretty good.

Any updates to this issue? My Thor 640 was working great in March/ April. But started having the same “washed” look since September. Thought these things were supposed to work better in the cold.

My 2.5-25 looks washed out when there is moisture in the air. Last night it started doing again and I could feel the change in the air, I looked at our outside humidistat and it was at 65%. These thermals are pretty weak unless it's low humidity and cooler temps, at least that's my experience

I recently had the same issue. It sucks but its normal if the weather conditions are just right where it renders everything with the same temperature or close to it. When it happened to me, it was 34F with rain just starting...once the trees were soaked with rain and humidity the temp raised to 42F. The rain caused everything to almost be at the same temp, hence the whiteout. Did you have a similar scenario.
