    Quantified super resolution. As with the 872s, testo publishes the IFOV achieved after processing: 2.1 mrad versus 3.4 mrad natively. It's the only manufacturer in this comparison to quantify the actual spatial-resolution gain instead of just advertising a pixel count.

    Observations

    • The same 160 × 120 sensor as the 865s, but a NETD of 80 mK instead of 100, and an extended range of -30 to 650°C instead of -20 to 280.
    • ε-Assist. Automatically determines both emissivity AND reflected temperature using a reference sticker. These are the two settings that skew measurements the most, and no other manufacturer in this comparison automates them.
    • The app turns a phone into a remote second screen with remote control.
    • IFOV warning. A square cursor on-screen shows the real size of the measurement spot at the targeted distance, preventing you from measuring an object smaller than the spot. A feature present across the entire testo range and absent everywhere else.
    • ScaleAssist automatically sets the thermal scale to make two images comparable from one visit to the next.
    • A removable battery shared across the entire 860 series and the 872s. One set of batteries serves several devices.
    • Neither weight, nor dimensions, nor pixel pitch, nor NETD conditions are published.
