Met ExpectationsNovember 16, 2006 Recently purchased the 3DVisor, and it works great. Haven't had any issues with any PC games so far. I've also used it for console gaming (PS2 and XBox 360) and with a vga converter the display is just as good if not a little sharper then a regular TV.

I tried routing it through a PC TV tuner card, but the rtv-veg converter output is much sharper.
Over all, a great product and supplier was quick with shipping.
Obsolete and overpricedAugust 25, 2006 I bought this headset about a year ago when they dropped the price to about $500. It was a whim, and I'm a geek.
Unfortunately the driver is only compatible with an older nvidia driver, which means degrading your drivers (not sure about ATI drivers). After a lot of reconfiguring I got it to work on my comp. Every time I put the headset on I had to readjust the settings and headset to that the 3d effect worked right. Showing the headset to a friend didn't work so well because they had to set the headset up all over and training them to do so was too frustrating and complicated.
Ultimately, the headset did work and the stereoscopic effect was pretty neat, but the disadvantage of running a game or program in 600X800 graphics mode far outweighed the advantage. Not to mention that to get the stereoscopic effect to work in most games you either lost the HUD or menu or it became too blurry to read. So it quickly became an expensive novelty item in my closet.
As a last warning, check out the eMagin website if you still think this is a good purchase. The Community link, which used to have a forum for customers is down. They got rid of the forum as there weren't many customers and most of the talk was negative. Also note the dates of the software for download on the Support page. Don't expect any software updates.
Weak at first, great now that a lot of titles play well with them!June 12, 2006 6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I'm just amazed with these. Its like headphones for your eyes.
This experience is absolutely amazing, and I've never had a toy that reinvented everything that I do on my PC.
At first I was weary to spend the cash on this. But I figured that I own a $600 pair of headphones, so how can something for my eyes be less expensive.
Well worth the money. I am nothing but excited about these. Bare in mind, I don't work for emagin or amazon. So I'm not afraid to make a bad review.
Do not get this!!June 1, 2006 2 out of 13 found this review helpful
The customer support is very poor. The screen resolution is not good, if you wear glasses. We could never get the test application to work. For the price, it is not worth the time!
Is it for you? Think $1,500.February 7, 2006 17 out of 21 found this review helpful
Reading the reviews so far confirms my own view. This visor is not for everybody.
To digress a moment, the Jan 1 review that relates the experience the buyer had with the company right after the product was introduced last year rings somewhat true, but only for that post-intro period. My contacts with the company are more recent and it seems to me that the company has come a long way in terms of improving customer service. As for the high cost of cords and such, I tend to agree. Simple solution: Get them somewhere else. Elsewhere in that review, the buyer shows a lack of mastery of the product, e.g. his inability to get it to perform as advertized. You absolutely can use the visor as a 2nd monitor and you can open multiple windows on it.
But his claim that his interest in gaming with the visor waned after a few days underscores the point I really want to make, namely that this visor is not for everyone. If you are an avid gamer or a sims fan and you are wiling to invest in your gaming experience, this visor is by far the best there is under $10k. And having to buy the latest Nvidia card at $400+ to experience 3D should be no great expense for an avid gamer. Clearly, the visor requires an investment beyond the visor itself. The largest will be the Nvidia card. This means your total investment to enjoy this visor to the fullest will be around $1,500. That is still a far lower than paying upward of $10k or higher to get what I consider a lesser experience. But if you are simply looking for a 2nd monitor, this visor may not be an economical way to go. The same may be true if you are only an occasional gamer and don't plan to buy the Nvidia card to get the full effect of the visor. Oh, and by the way, when I mention gamers, I don't mean console gamers, because while this visor can be hooked up to a console, it won't deliver 3D or headtracking in those formats. This visor is meant for PC gaming. Bottom line: do your research, total up what it is really gonna cost you to use this visor to its max, and don't knock it just because it isn't for you.
