When first putting these on, you may be duped in to thinking they are not all that special. For instance, when I initially put them on, I connected them to my iPhone, and started a new movie in the Max app. Because the movie had a thick layer of film grain applied to it, it tricked me in to thinking the screen in these glasses is not great. But I was wrong.
When I continued the same movie on a regular screen, that’s when I realized my error. So next I loaded up GeForce Now in these glasses and continued my save in Arkham Knight. And suddenly my impression of the glasses got better. I could see the appeal now. But it didn’t stop there. Loading up the game Guardians Of The Galaxy in GeForce Now was a revelation. That game really shows off the strengths of these glasses. Colors were bright and colorful and the picture was sharp. I was hooked.
I’ve used these glasses for two weekends now and learned some important things. First, adjust those nose pieces. You can really push them with a good bit of force in order to get the glasses to sit closer to your face. This likely will improve the sharpness of the screen and allow you to see most of the screen in focus.
My second tip is that while some content looks great at max brightness, such as the movie Thunderbolts and the TV show White Lotus, other content looks better with the brightness dialed down. When I started an episode of Twisted Metal on Peacock, I was appalled at the quality of the stream. But dialing down the brightness really hid the imperfection's that were revealed at higher brightnesses. This was also true for the fabulous show Penguin on HBO Max. The show does not look good at max brightness, but really improves as you lower the brightness some.
I’ve tested these glasses with my Rog Ally and laptop and phone. One day I was having some intermittent issues in which the image on the glasses was cutting in and out randomly. I was concerned at first and thought maybe I would have to return the glasses but whatever was causing this issue seems to have disappeared at least for the time being.
I tried to play some side-by-side 3D content in the glasses by putting the glasses in to 3D mode but I did not exactly get a 3D effect. I don’t know if I was doing something wrong or if these glasses are just not great for 3D video. But that is definitely not a deal breaker for me.
RayNeo, I would like to see you and other glasses manufacturers add a microphone plug to the glasses cord. This would give us more options for better audio when our wireless earbuds start running low on battery.
These glasses are a game changer for those who game on mobile devices. Nothing beats reclining and being perfectly comfortable while your game stays perfectly in your field of vision.
For those who want to use these glasses with a laptop for work purposes, it’s definitely doable but not perfect. I don’t believe anyone is going to get the entire screen perfectly sharp but I also don’t think it would probably prevent anyone from being able to do work using these glasses.
Sound is okay using the built-in speakers but I definitely will use my AirPods whenever possible. And it’s so easy to just plug these glasses in to your preferred device. I was a little worried that using these would be kind of a hassle but it has turned out to be the opposite. There are games I’ve put off playing and now I am eager to finish because they look so good in these glasses. I know competitors offer more features at higher prices, but I think these glasses have the best value proposition because of their lower price.
