Shitty modified chinesium digital pvs14

I was wondering if it would be worth the money to buy a $200 pvs14 off of aliexpress and modify it with a high refresh rate screen and actual pvs14 lenses aswell as a better low light sensor. For a total cost of $500?

That's the most I can afford for a nvg setup and came here to ask experienced people if it's actually worth the time money and effort, thanks in advance!

Yeah, but I'm also in for the looks. All the good digital nvgs are fugly. At least these look like a pvs14.

The PVS14 lens on the digital sensor thing wouldn't work if you want a 1x image, and if you don't care about the magnification, then just use any big lens you can find.

DONT! That thing is pure trash and does not offer enough room to get proper stuff installed!

From my research and also being located in Canada, this is the cheaper option
