MW2 vs 2019 MW NVGs
One of the biggest differences other than aesthetics is the switch from the faux green phosphor color palette to a white phosphor color palette. Another big change is the field of view on the Pano NVGs. They are much wider. Take a look at the photos below.
Looking at my shed through the MW2 goggles.
The same position as above but shot through the 2019 Pano NVGs.
You can see in the photo above (I shot it with the unit upside down) it has onscreen indicators. A battery life meter and a mode icon. The mode icon is a little superfluous since you can see if you are in night mode or day mode. In a lighted room, the moon changes to an icon of the sun and the image goes full color. You can hear an audible clicking sound which makes be believe there is an IR filter and the sensor is flipping the filter off and on when switching to day or night mode.
One feature the 2019 Pano NVGs lack that the MW2 has is a front objective focus. There is no front focus adjustment on the new goggles.
The Panos do not have a giant face cup like the MW2 goggles. You have no peripheral vision using the MW2 goggles but with the Dark Edition Panos, you can look below the goggles and a little bit to the sides using your natural peripheral vision.

MW2 Prestige edition came with a bust of Soap MacTavish to display your toy NVGs. The 2019 Modern Warfare opted for a more display stand. It has ledges and tabs to hold the goggles, mount and fake battery pack.
