These glasses let you play games, watch movies, and work on your PC in 1080p at 120Hz.
The screen reaches up to 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate.
Best of all, they look like a chunky pair of sunglasses.
We tested the Viture Pro XR over the last few weeks, specifically to determine its viability for gaming.
But, as you’ll see, it can take some trial and error get to that point.
Using it with a console or desktop PC, however, is more cumbersome.
You’ll need to be seated right next to it for the cable to reach.
The trick is making sure you find the right fit for the nose rest.
On the other hand, dialing in the focus on the screens themselves was a cinch.
There is a keystone dial on top of each lens that you turn to adjust the focus.
But once you finally have them on and are playing a game, the experience is excellent–mostly.
This does affect the colors, but it isn’t detrimental.
However, the Steam Deck offered the best experience.
Best of all, it’s possible for you to play directly with the Steam Deck’s handheld controls.
The same cannot be said for the Nintendo Switch, unfortunately.
You’ll need to connect the undocked Switch to a separate battery pack via USB-C.
Still, the lack of a true handheld mode like Steam Deck was a letdown.
Nevertheless, there are some smaller quibbles worth mentioning.
Most notable is the field of view.
I also ran into a strange issue with the glasses' transparency toggle.
The same is also true of the Viture Pro XR’s audio quality.
In fact, I would say the audio is what I was most impressed with overall.
The biggest difference is the screens.
The XR’s screen is larger and brighter, with a wider field of view and higher refresh rate.
However, since it’s larger, the pixel density is slightly lower on the Pro than the One.
While that likely won’t be a dealbreaker for most people, it’s still worth noting.
Beyond physical design and specs, the other difference is machine compatibility.
