Many buyers find themselves asking the same question:
“For the same price, should I choose 4G 2500 FOM DTNVS or 2000 FOM NNVT Panoramic Goggles?”
At first glance, the DTNVS offers higher figure of merit (FOM), while the Panos trade some FOM for a significantly wider field of view.
The real decision point comes down to your intended use.

Key TradeoffFOM vs wider FOV
The Dilemma
- DTNVS 4G (~2500 FOM)
- Higher performance tubes, excellent resolution, lightweight dual-tube system. Great all-rounder for most environments.
- NNVT Panoramic (~2000 FOM)
- Quad-tube design with a panoramic 100° field of view. Slightly lower FOM, but offers a completely different situational awareness experience.
- Decision Factor
- What matters most to you: higher tube performance (DTNVS) or dramatically wider FOV (Panos)?
Where Panos Truly Shine
- CQB / Urban Operations
- Panoramic vision allows faster corner checks, reduced head movement, and better situational awareness. In close-quarters, this can be a game changer.
- Driving (Car, ATV, Dirt Bike)
- You can drive with a monocular, but the difference compared to Panos is “night and day.” The added peripheral vision makes driving/riding safer, smoother, and faster.
Bottom Line
- If You Value Wider Awareness
- Choose NNVT Panos — the panoramic FOV will give you an operational edge in CQB and mobility.
- If You Prefer Higher FOM & Versatility
- Go with DTNVS 4G — a lighter, simpler system with superior tube performance.
