The PRO 1 and PRO 2 monitors share the same housing, monitor tube, functions, and faceplate design.
The high voltage power supply differs between models, with the PRO 2 featuring a more modern version.
PRO 1 uses an external fuse while PRO 2 uses an internal thermal fuse.
PRO 1 side rails are smooth while PRO 2 side rails have ripples.
PRO 1 heat sink has 10 ribs while PRO 2 heat sink has two sets of 5 ribs plus a box structure.
PRO 1 has a fuse receptacle on the left rail near the monitor plug while PRO 2 has no external fuse.
PRO 1 faceplate is secured with 3 screws while PRO 2 uses 2 screws despite having 3 holes marked on the faceplate sticker.
PRO 1 units were produced in limited quantity with approximately 50 units made total.
PRO 1 monitors work only with PRO 1 level equipment while PRO 2 monitors are compatible with both PRO 1 and PRO 2 level equipment.
Because internal components can be mixed between the two models during repair or upgrade, serial number verification is necessary to confirm the actual specification level of a given monitor.

This information is from 2004 and applies to equipment from that era.
The claim about production quantities is presented as 'supposedly' and may not be precisely verified.
Components between models are interchangeable, so visual inspection alone may not definitively identify a unit's specification level without consulting the serial number.
