Just want to add that the TNVC NV device that I ordered from Televue a couple of months ago comfortably exceeds most of these specs. I couldn't be happier with mine and look forward to taking it to my dark site in a couple of weeks.

Thanks for the business and glad you're enjoying the system!

Hello CN, it's been a long wait but i've recently received my replacement PVS-14 from TNVC and the specs are below.

 

PS - 2330

EBI - 0.5

SNR - 36.5

Center Res - 81

Halo - 0.7 

 

I followed the CN advice of having patience on tube specs and It paid off well. The device visuals are fantastic.

 

Thank you to everyone who helped steer me in the right direction and to TNVC for getting this replaced.

Awesome those are great specs! There’s probably only 1 out of 1000 tubes that are noticeably better. Most here who have gotten a Gen3 tube in the last 3 years generally have similar specs or only slightly worse.

I think tube specs from what I’ve seen new buyers here on CN getting over the last year tend to be slightly better than what most got 1-2 years ago, but probably not a noticeable difference. Certainly not as large of a difference compared to what new buyers were getting in 2020/2021/before vs. the last couple years.

Basically NV specs are continuing to improve, but the improvement seems to be more marginal compared to what it was after the heavy Covid days.
