    Hopefully you get to play with the updated Air 2s. Also, it'd be nice to have another three-way shootout between the RayNeo, Xreal, and Rokid (or four-way shootout if you manage to get your hand on Viture Pro glasses).

    Fit is definitely important in this conversation. I wear contacts and glasses alternatively. For those who only wear glasses, I wonder how comfortable/possible this would be for them if they absolutely need a lens corrective at all times.

      @SomeGadgetGuy  10 місяців тому +1

      I had lens inserts for a while, just to block blue light, and they seemed fine to me. THey add a bit of bulk, the didn't stick out far from the birdbath optics.

    Do they handle 720p 120hz? Does the Rokid Max? nxtwear S+? I can say for sure that the Xreal Air 2's do not, so I'm sending them back.

    Yeah I dunno why they STILL haven't styled the glasses up yet and made them small-XL sizes . I would probably already took the plunge and bought some Xreal glasses by now if so.

    Snagged these with the early bird sale and so far the screen is the best thing about them. The entire software experience is overall incomplete and buggy due it relying on the device to dictate how it shows up. On the iphone, it only mirrors the screen which means if you’re watching content it will be wasting battery displaying on the iphone. The android app is better but is buggy and for my surface phone it requires that it’s fully open to use or it just displays a blue screen. On pc, it gives me good indication that it’s connected but doesn’t work, I plan on trying a hdmi adapter once i get one but its frustrating to have to go through all this troubleshooting. Its a 1.5 gen hardware with beta software and integration.

    Do these work with 1 eye? Like let's say someone has an issue where one eye is worse than the other or blind?

    • @SomeGadgetGuy
      @SomeGadgetGuy  10 місяців тому +1

      I don't see why not? Obviously an individual like that might already be struggling with depth effects and 3D content, but just putting up a screen in your field of view, I believe the effect would be similar for someone with only one eye.

    Does Windows just detect this as a single output monitor? I was wondering if in Windows you could set it to actually be two monitors.

      Windows just sees one display, but the TCL app can set up a virtual space that allows for a quasi- multi-monitor use.

    Good! More competition! The price was the biggest barrier for me so these have an instant leg up.

    I only have the Xreal Air 1 because my job contributed to the purchase of them.

      I still rock with those XReal. They got a LOT right on a "gen1" display.
