We have a 2021 Badlands and I find that the quality of the back up camera display is dismal. Compared to the camera in my 2021 Ram it's like watching your TV in low def compared to 4K. The display is very washed out and appears to be like an overexposed picture. I went to my dealer and they tell me that there is nothing wrong. Are Ford cameras really this poor. Anyone else having this issue.

hmm
The image quality is much worse than a 2020 Escape rental I had recently, not sure why there's such a difference.

Here and I thought it was super clear. All I have to compare to is my wife's 2013 Edge and the Bronco camera is considerably clearer.

Compared to my 2014 FX4 F150. I found it to be about the same quality, just with the added turn lines when backing up. This was based on my observations while test driving a Base Model BS. I doubt there would be a quality difference in trim levels at least.

I’m old so I still use the mirrors. I did notice recently my son in laws new Chevy pick up was really clear compared to my wife’s HRV. I’d be inclined to use it if it was that clear. Hers always looks like really poor resolution TV.

This is my first car with a back up camera, so it's alright to me. Still used to just turning my head and using my mirrors.

Yes, but try to back up that 2021 Ram in the dark into a dark driveway.... FCA done messed up with the lack of backup lights

Clarity & resolution on my 22OBX is the best I’ve seen on a back up camera. i thought my 13 Lariat was good but BS is much better & light years better than wife’s 18 Tahoe.

Wonder if they changed it on the 22...my 21 is just okay, it gets the job done but nowhere near the clarity and resolution of my 20 Bolt.

In regards to the Ram which to my knowledge has a 12+ inch screen that will def be sharper much the way the big broncos have a bigger and sharper screen camera combo. For the size screen and cameras the BS has they're fairly solid. I can't find an official resolution but I'm going to guess the 8in screen is the 1080p resolution with the cameras being somewhere between 720p and 1080p looks like maybe a sdr 900p res.

I never once thought that with any backup camera they basically look the same to me. Can I ask why you would need a 4k resolution backup camera?

You can ask but the comment was only made to make a point!
