You shouldn't be chasing for spec values but they do exist and if you wanted to know what "better spec" values are there's a way to know which unit is desirable over another.

Most retailers won't post this info as they build NVDs to order, first come first serve, and depending on their grading scale of high, mid, low tier it may differ from retailers. If a retailer offer a “ready to ship” fully built units they will list the spec values. Hand select is an option from retailers that will try to match to your spec requirements.

SNR: signal to noise ratio, the amount of signal the tube can make compared to the noise

EBI: equivalent background information, how much false image appears in the screen through which the actual image has to show, sort of a noise floor of sorts

Halo: How big the circle of bloom is around lights

Photocathode Sensitivity: How sensitive the photocathode is

LP Resolution: Line pair res of the center of the image as measure against a standardized chart

If one spec is shit it negates the rest, if you have a halo of 2.0 it kinda fucks on an EBI of 0.20 if you want to do any kind of shooting and it's all a balance game

The numbers to meet or beat are

EBI under 1, preferably under 0.6 being great, 0.1 is gucci

Halo under 1, anything under 0.7 is awesome

SNR, over 25 anything over 30 is gucci

Photocathode, 1900+ is pretty great, 2500+ is stellar

Resolution of 64+ is good, 72+ is gucci

Is there a bigger joke in the history of NATO?
