Pulsar Digital Recon X550 5.5x50mm Digital Night Vision Monocular
The Pulsar Recon X550 (#78026) is certainly WORTH the money. If your goal is to see in the dark with very good to excellent resolution, you want this unit. Its light gathering ability is quite good, but understand this is still not a 3K dollar Gen 3 device. You'll still need to occasionally use either its built in IR light (Max 75-100 yard range), or even better would be to purchase a high performance IR light & mount it to the accessory rail. The "Sum Light" digital signal processing program (which can be turned on or off) ensures very good low light gathering, this is one of the many feature...

I was not impressed. First of all, "Factroy Demo" = rebuilt. The red screen function doesn't work. Although you are not supposed to focus the eye piece, when attempted nothing happens. It is barely 2nd generation capable.
Pros: It turns on.
Cons: Weak 2nd generation tool
Would recommend: No

I now have two of the Pulsar n550 that should say it all but I I also tried the yukon but once you used the pulsar the yukon may cost a hundred dollars less but it is a toy by comparison to a Pulsar n550 and the Pulsar is a true true tool of the night.
Would recommend: Yes

Has at least 7 bright pixels. Maybe more. Paperwork says up to seven is normal. That is bogus. Leads me to believe they are buying "second" quality CCDs to build these devices. My high end digital cameras have no "blown" pixels.
Overall it is still a great device and I would buy it again, but this really bothers me.
Pros: Small, lightweight, overall works really well
Cons: Has at least 7 bright pixels. Probably more.
Would recommend: Yes
