Can anyone have a look at my L174, or L400?

Post by Sanplec »

Hello,

A couple of months ago, I've bought three L174.
I've read that it's very difficult to distinguish a L174 and what a L400.
I was wondering what my plecs are.
Here are some pictures:

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance!

the L174 seems to have a hint more of yellowishness to his white, the L400 seems much cleaner, more white, and contrast
