I’m wearing them now, and the display improvements have won me over, even compared with my current favorite, the Viture Beast.
The quality of plug-in display glasses has gotten seriously good lately, if you can put up with the idea of resting your monitor on your face. The price for good glasses has been dropping (down to $299 for some notable ones), but the pricier top-end models have advantages.
The new $599 Xreal One Pro Plus glasses, available now, offer a few subtle upgrades to last year’s model. I’ve been trying a pair out and the experience is largely the same, just a bit better (namely, brighter).
The previous Xreal One Pro display glasses were one of my favorite pairs around, along with the Viture Beast ones. In the past, Xreal’s design was thinner and lighter than Viture’s, but they had a notably dimmer display. That’s been fixed now with the One Pro Plus, which have 1,200 nits of brightness (versus 700 for the One Pro display glasses). There are also a few more visual settings, including “Reading,” which seems to move the virtual display a bit closer.
The One Pro Plus also have a smoother AI 3D conversion mode that turns any 2D image or video (or connected game) into 3D. The effect runs at a smoother frame rate than before, but the conversion still feels imperfect and gimmicky and compromises the frame rate too much compared with leaving it off.
