I think first you must define whether you are talking thin filmed, unfilmed, green, or white phosphor. After that, the specs become important. In a head mounted goggle, I can’t tell the difference on resolution at 64+. Higher resolution than 64 will inflate the FOM but not actual performance on head mounted units. 72 is fine. Higher than that is for academics unless you are talking clip on I2 scopes. You want S/N as high as possible, EBI < 1, and possibly Halo <1. Of course with many suppliers you pay for higher specs. With TNVC you can call your specs and get exactly what you want. The higher you call it is possible the longer the wait. The no questions asked return policy is there if you don’t like what you see. That is what has made me a long term customer.
The last PVS14 tube upgrade to my first 2011 unit I called was unfilmed WP L3 tubes with S/N 38+, Res 64+, EBI < 0.7, Halo < 0.9 with no blems in zone 1 or 2 and small ones in zone 3. I got exactly what I asked for and didn’t pay a dime extra. All with a 10 year warranty and a company I know will be there 10+ years.
