I need a brighter ground glass for my Technika V.
Has someone tried the "Yanke Ultra Bright Fresnel + Ground Glass 4x5" ?

Yes. I found it to be about 2 stops brighter than my Shen-Hao gg.
In my case yes, but I understand some are sold in two parts.
The GG and fresnel are in one piece; also supplied is a clear sheet of plastic to fit over the GG.
And yes, it's a good GG, but it goes dark when looking at it from too steep or wide an angle.
I have these focusing screens in my 4x5 and 3x4 Graflex cameras and they are fine.
I read an Article about waxed Ground Glass that was sold at one time
that makes it 1 or 2 stops brighter
so I tryed it I just used Paraffin Wax AND IT HELPS!!
Yes, it helps with brightness, but it can also introduce bright spots on the GG.
Paraffin wax is a good choice, though.
