It's just the way it transfers over to youtube. It looses a ton of resolution. I can easily tell the difference through the scope. Atn has terrible customer service and a 2 year warranty mine went to crap right at the 2 year mark. It was also very hard on my eye even when it was turned down.

I really like the laser range finder feature. If you are in a area that you are not super super familiar with your depth perception is way off. At least for me. You can see it in use on some of my videos. When you range something it will also give you bullet drop if you have it set up correctly.

I’ve looked thru ATN, AGM, and Pulsar, 384 and 640 in the field. Pulsar all the way for me. In my opinion, a good scanner is key. Way more time behind a scanner than scope. The Picture in Picture is my favorite function on my scope. One screen at base magnification and the smaller screen at mid or full mag in the press of a button, keeps the wide field of view for tracking moving critters. Buy once cry once. Your wife ain’t gonna leave ya over a thermal scope lol, just tell her that’s all ya spent

That video looks distorted because they clicked the display power up, every time you increase the power it will look closer but the image will not be as good. For $2,000 you are not going to get a very good thermal. You might get a 2,500 - 3,000 used or display scope for $2,000. New scope models will be out this year and people will want to sell their units to get the newest thermals out there.

If you can go to the $2,500 - $3,000 range you will get into some decent 384 scopes.
