Our Verdict

Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2

Valerion VisionMaster Max

The Valerion VisionMaster Max is better than the cheaper Valerion VisionMaster Pro 2, but not by much. The Max is a bit brighter with slightly better contrast, but its biggest advantage is its better color accuracy right out of the box, alongside its IRIS control feature, which gives it better contrast. The Max also has a nifty RBE-reduction feature that truly reduces perceived RBE. Still, the Pro 2 is far cheaper, and the Max isn't likely worth the cost for most users.
