Just based on the specifications, the IR Hunter and Snipe-IR will both better have a better image as they have a higher resolution thermal sensor. This unit runs a 320x240 while the IR Hunter and Snipe-IR run a 640x480 sensor.
I have the CQT and the IR Hunter MK III 60. They are completely different optics for different applications. Getting the 19mm would be a lot close as far as base magnification but still not the same. The thermal sensor on the Trijicon is significantly better. Even my ECOTI as base 1x is better image. However, the CQT is completely programmable so you can make your own modes outside of full, gradient, and outline. The outline mode doesn’t work very well compared to ECOTI outline mode I think mainly because the thermal sensor. The CQT shines with it being a red dot optic with the capability of thermal overlay so it’s like augmented reality meets thermal. It really is 100% CQT as distance is not a strong point. Another pro to the CQT is that it is a low power consumption thermal. You’re getting around 4 hours per batter compared to 1-2 hours on most thermals. I would consider what you are really wanting it for and then buy accordingly. The Trijicon has beautiful images and and incredible accuracy whereas the CQT shines in all the other ways mentioned. The final thing I will note about the CQT is there is no NUC on there and appears to do an auto-NUC compared to manual NUC like on the Trijicon products. While it is nice because you turn it on and go faster, you do get that slight image pause when it does auto-NUC. Nothing major just something I have yet to see anyone mention online. I look for other companies to capitalize on this CVT concept and improve because once this gets past first gen tech then I think this is the future of premium RDS and thermal.
