With the new Noctivid there has been a lot said about contrast, what is the proper amount of contrast for an optical device, probably about what the naked eye sees if you want a neutral view. The HT and SV I had showed more contrast and saturation than my current SF, and in some circumstances it made for more pop and drama in the view, the SF can look a little washed out in comparison, but I'm not so sure it isn't a slight bit more true to life. For me, high contrast has always meant deep blacks at the expense of shadow details, maybe you can have both, but I haven't been able to turn the contrast up on any visual device without losing
faint details in shadow areas. I have reposted the SF and HT photos from Binomania to illustrate what I'm talking about. Another thing, I don't know how much difference there is between people in how they see saturation and contrast. By all means though, if you enjoy a more Technicolor view than is perfectly neutral, I agree that it can be very exciting.
