Great! With a 1920x1080 resolution you'll use the 16:9 Aspect Ratio. Sounds like you knew that.

The differences between the standard OTC scopes compared to the OTC realistic scopes is the standard scope has fractional telemeter divisions between the regular divisions. The realistic scopes don't have the fractional marks. Fractional divisions aren't authentic.

The standard scopes have moved the telemeter divisions to the center line of the scope in an effort to keep the scopes compass bearing centered on the target as you take a measurement. The realistic scopes have the telemeter divisions in the authentic left hand position of the lens.

The standard scopes use the basic stock TBT view, although the divisions are scaled to the correct FoV. The outline looks like the Lone Rangers mask (OK, I'm dating myself!), kind of a throw back to the days the movies thought a binocular view had to have a double circle outline when you looked through the lens. The realistic scopes use a rounded view similar to the periscope view to simulate what the view really looked like. Just a bit of "cosmetic" differences between the two.

All have their divisions lightened for easier viewing at night.

Choose the one you like best.
