@kiakuromiVT That's not something to apologize for. Do what you need to get right and if you want help, ask. This isn't something that you have to go through alone. There's a lot of people here that would be more than willing to help you.
@2brokefora249 Off the rip, I'd say no. Labor Day is coming and the price difference between gen 2+ and gen 3 with those specs should be a non issue especially playing in the green phos tubes. Gen 3 offers better low light performance and more line pairs meaning better image.
