For those of you who have RF Binos, which side is the display on? I have looked through Vortex and Leupold's and the display is on the right side. This is a no go for me, since my central vision is blurred even with glasses on my right eye and I cant see the display. I need the display to be on the left side. I may have to go with a regular range finder, if no display is on the left side. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

I think they're all on the right side
Swaro used to make displays on the left. I don't know if that's still the case, though. Good luck!
I've had the original Swarovski el range and the new ones with ta. Both are definitely in the right eye. My brother went blind in his right eye a couple years ago and had to sell his el range and go back to a normal rangefinder.
Gunwerks Revic BLR10b range display is in the Right barrel.
Sadly and look what's happening in itAs with most things being on the right, it is a right handed world.

And I would just like to make perfectly clear that I am (left-handed) only!Sadly and look what's happening in it

Another Left eye dominant here. Bought a set of Geovids and resold them due to the right eye only display. I searched a long time for a model that displayed in the left or both barrels. No joy at all, I went back to a Leica CRF. Great glass, good RF, small and easy to carry, works on either eye.
Only lefties are in their right minds, which explains the state of the world.

I have a thread out there looking for something similar and no luck. I finally gave up, bought a Leica 10x42 Geovid R which has it all in the Right barrel (some units have something in each which would never work for me). I hold them sideways with the right barrel on top and run it that way. Some might ask why not just use a regular rangefinder? I ran a Leica 7x28 for over 10 years and loved it (still have it) but being able to go to a 10x42 provides so much more detail and is worth the weight to me as I was carrying the rangefinder and separately a set of binoculars.
I really wish the folks in the gun magazines, online reviews, and the manufacturers would put this information in a prominent place. I have been blind in my right eye since the First grade and it would be handy to know more easily.
What I described above works really well for me for prairie dogs, Pronghorn, deer, and pretty much everything. I hope it will for you as well.
