Recently bought the parweld xr937h large screen and true colour, been good for approx 20/30 odd hrs worth of welding so far, now having to replace both inner and outer lens as both scratched, 3 whole quid the pair!
I think previous model was the 938 which are cheaper by quite some margin, but same size screen and true colour, 60 quid off ebay

They are both good but side by side, the Ginour has a better screen and cheaper.
@Gritineye did yours arrive, any good?

Seems fine, but only done a few test runs.
At first it seemed like there's almost too many strap adjustments, not so and I've now got it to be very comfortable with vary-focal glasses on.
Like the way the rear of the strap can be tucked down a bit so it holds under the back of my head, it's not likely to slip off like my last one.
I would think the lager screen will be useful in awkward (like under car) positions, I like the side windows too.

Ah, I dont do under car positions!
I'd have thought small as possible would be better for that, the leather masks with glasses type thing.

I've been using one of the older Paraweld helmets for 10+ years (bought new and it wasn't expensive, under £50 ?) it's fine for me as an occasional hobby weleder and I have no plans to change it.
I recently did some work using a borrowed Esab and the difference is very noticable (screen size, colours, but I couldn't get a comfortable fit with the headband ), it just shows how technology has progressed ... a much bigger budget helps
Sorry, no real advice other than - you can get decent masks withoud spending a lot

maybe I should have said the bigger field of view should help in those times when you can't move your head much.

The 937 has a 101mm x 94mm screen and is nearer £120.
Both True Colour lenses.
