Here’s the news about the Telos:
Pulsar presents Telos: future-proof monocular line
Pulsar introduces the extended line of the flagship thermal monocular family Telos at the IWA OutdoorClassics 2024. The line includes several new models: from the HD resolution Telos LRF XL50 and the extremely sensitive Telos LRF XP50 to the more affordable Telos LRF XG50 and the compact Telos LRF XQ35 version.
Premium experience with HD resolution
The biggest hero of the Telos line is the Telos LRF XL50. Featuring the first Pulsar HD resolution thermal sensor.
This premium-quality monocular has a wide field of view and brilliant image quality which remains optimal even on high magnification. In other words, you will be able to observe even the smallest details of the animal. As well as maintaining awareness of the situation while scanning vast areas.
With the Telos LRF XL50 Pulsar now has a full HD family including binoculars, riflescopes and monoculars.
Extending the Telos line
To cover more specific needs of the hunters, Pulsar is also introducing the extension of the Telos line. The more affordable Telos LRF XG50 and the compact Telos LRF XQ35 are joining the previously launched Telos LRF XP50. All Telos models come with and without the LRF.
Unconditional European quality
Telos is a splendid example of how true European quality is achieved by the combined effort of the many professionals who laid their hands on this exceptional device.
Pulsar leading designers were working on the Telos concept together with the late founder and CEO of the company Alexander Olshevsky. They were willing to create a new thermal imaging monocular with soft lines, so that its concentric shape would clearly and organically fit with several lenses and a rangefinder.
The result is an ambidextrous thermal monocular that comfortably fits into your hand, is time resistant and equipped with the best of what thermal technology has to offer.
It stands out with premium functionality and ergonomics. Comfortable to use with both hands. Equipped with a smooth zoom and focusing rings and a whole new battery system.
A device for life
All new devices have their own specs, sizes, and power differences, but what unites them all is the premium design, excellent image quality, and the unique concept of upgradeability.
Telos becomes the first Pulsar device to offer an opportunity for technical hardware upgrade. As well as being the first brand on the market to introduce such a service.
The upgradeability project is in the pipeline and will be launched later this year. More news coming soon.

I was expecting 1024×768 sensor resolution to be priced in the stratosphere but at <$9000 it's priced at something non-millionaires can afford.
