Ordered mine on July 5th and got it month ago. Have been out playing with it and it's amazing. This is my first NV G3 device and it blows away the older G2. Honestly, pics don't do G3 device justice.
I'm still a newbie but I'm pretty sure I got a really good tube also. And it's a hell of a deal.

Just wish all the accessories weren't so expensive. Good thing about the wait time is I saved up for Dbal3.
Now for helmet attached light, tether, and helmet mounted hearing protection. So many things, so many options.

Any chance I could get a ballpark ETA on my PVS? I would like to know how much longer I have to live (the wife might kill me when she finds out). Purchase was July 22.

For the XLSH price, great resolution and darn clean tube. S/N lower than some but will still perform. But for the price you paid, still good!

Thank you for the order!

We are still building at incredibly high volume to clear the back orders! It's been a Mil Spec glass challenge as well but we will NOT sacrifice by filling ANY of our TNV builds with substandard glass!

Those are nice specs.

That's how Elbit does it on their data records aka spec sheets. L3Harris shows more info about spots and their location.

Not being a smartass but I'd just take it into the bathroom or closest and look for yourself.

Well, after an evening of use I am blown away. When folks say photos don't do it justice, they're right.

Very happy, either no spots or I haven't got good enough eyes to find them (I tried). Neighborhood is too well lit for extensive testing.

So far:
I like the crye nightcap, but a bumpcap would be better.

Rhino 2 converted to DDA is nice. Don't feel I'm missing anything by never using j arm setup.

Jury's still out on fenix tk25 ir light. Seems like it may be ok for longer distance, but too much at shorter range in my back yard.

Steiner Tor mini seems like it is gonna be great.

Best of all, wife didn't offer divorce when I showed it to her.

I like it a lot. My only complaint was that it killed batteries but I had one of the first ones out and they warrantied me a new one, no issues so far.

Great mount, easy to use. Clear reticle for a holo and NV setting looks good.

Does the glass coating allow good transmission? Does the coating kill IR transmission from illumination? I recall a review stating it did. (Garande Thumb)

Your unit should have came with a spec sheet. If it was missing I would call TNVC as they should have a copy.

Pretty new to night vision so not sure how the specs compare. Spots says passed but there is a spot on the top right and what looks like two smears in the middle of the picture that’s pretty distracting, is that considered a spot?

Got mine in today (ordered 7/22), and I gotta say...I'm not sure what's wrong with it. I have a couple green tubes, and they have noticable spots, but this thing is clean. So far, this exceeds my expectations. The bad news is that now, at some point, I'm going to have to order another WP tube to match this one.

Except for a very small number of units (a dozen or so), we are now just about complete shipping the MASS quantities of XLSH systems to so many happy customers! Whew, our largest sale in the 15 year history of TNVC!

Cannot thank everyone enough and come next month the next round of surprises (think TNVC vSHOTT) that we feel will again rock the NV world in a big way like no other time.

Stay tuned for this...We PROMISE you will love what you see!

@coy121 Those are blems. Mine said pass also but has a couple spots, one is pretty darn big - much bigger than your pic and not as close to the edge. They say you don’t notice them when you’re using these a lot. Dunno, knew it was a gamble going in and didn’t want to return after the 13 week wait considering the way things are these days.

Yes Sir, if someone is not happy with their system we have a no questions asked return policy on all our TNV built systems INCLUDING the XLSH systems. We'll NEVER sell any NVD's with a policy like that and have you gamble your hard earned dollar.

This also doesn't automatically mean another long wait if their is any issue with their system. Thank you!
