When I found the link for the video goggles on next tag it listed them as the Pro model which is NOT TRUE, bad advertising. The Pro goggles are identical to the basic with one added bonus, you can connect them to your computer (nvidia 3d graphics card req’d). The ITG HQ3D goggles will plug into lots of stuff and still look great but no computer (vga) support, so if you want that PRO perk it’ll cost you another 50-100 USD. For all the totally immersive 3d video goggles out there these seem pretty good. These goggles have 920k pixles @ 640×480 (basic and pro) vs a lot of the other goggles priced similar with less pixels. With the basic and pro you can watch 3d material without the expensive tv and other gadgets required as well as plugging em right into your ps3 (which now supports 3d gaming and later this year will support 3d blu ray). I have also noticed that these goggles are popping up elsewhere with different names on them but still the same unit so watch your middle man mark ups, though the price here is close to best I have found. Don’t forget about the 0 usd goggles with over 1 million pixels, they look neat but weigh a lot more and don’t look super comfy (based on pictures)and for that huge price tag don’t seem worth it. You also have your choice of semi immersive goggles, or glasses that are transparent (unlike these) so you can walk around at the same time watching your video i-pod, neat but not what were lookin for and the video quality isn’t nearly as good but it wasn’t designed for home movie theatre watchers and gamers. HQ3D goggles also come with a detachable blackout to allow you to block light out if you want that true theatre effect. Be careful playing wii tennis, don’t forget where your swinging. Basic and pro are wired to whatever unit your utilizing so don’t run far, but there are wireless units out there. The wireless units I’ve found are about -100 usd more than the basic HQ3D and weigh considerably more, seems like a neat idea if your comfortable with the extra weight. The basic and pro both come in around 55grams (read 52 grams somewhere as well) thats like 1.9 oz which is fairly light weight compared to the wireless set that weighs 4-5 times more. There are also goggles out there that support 32 gigs of flash so you can just plug in video or pictures although I haven’t seen any with this feature and still retain 3d capability, so you gotta choose. Also when selecting video goggles look at what it claims the simulated screen size is, some are 32″ some in the 60′s or 70′s, what’s nice about the HQ3D is that they simulate an 80″inch screen at about 7ft, which is (needless to say) enormous! So enjoy your glasses and don’t get too dizzy!

At 2010 CES, I saw this unit (and the complete line). Was impressed by the movie the lower version was showing via SD card. As a WOW (World of Warcraft) player got my eye on this model with its VGA contact. Finally found them at a camera store in Hollywood and they lived up to my expectation. No eye strain whatsoever and there is no problem with my bifocals. They come with a rubber piece that when used keeps light from around you out – nice for daytime use. The resolution and detail was excellent and when the spells starting flying and damage dealt truly an awesome visual!

I am going on a business trip this weekend and will use the glasses with my laptop to do work on the plane. The privacy feature is a bonus.
