Loading ...The Pitch: Myvue’s Crystal line of glasses lets you enjoy that tiny video you were trying to watch on your iPod in a much larger, higher-resolution picture, right in front of your eyes. The new Crystal SV glasses offer more input variety, greater resolution, and a wider field of view than previous models. They can be used to view HD content from any computer, mobile internet device (MID), or media player that supports high-resolution output. Crystal SV is also 3D-ready, so users with 3D content can enjoy a truly immersive experience.
Pros: Instant geek cred. The Crystal SV glasses look like John-Paul Gaultier gave Jordi LaForge’s visor the “Fifth Element” makeover. Anyone sporting these babies is sure to be respected as a nerd par excellence. On FixYa, users commonly complain about the screen size and image quality of traditional digital media players. The Crystal SV’s 800 x 600 resolution will likely be an improvement over whatever they’ve been using to watch videos on the go.
Cons: At $499.95, looking the part of the über-geek doesn’t come cheap. And anyone who doesn’t want to be gawked at during their morning commute will shy away from these specs. Value-wise, the fact that the previous model was priced $200 less at $299.95 makes me really question what they’ve done to deserve that much more of your dough.
Recommendation: I can’t get over the $200 price hike and the ridiculous appearance of these glasses. These might fly in better economic times, but right now they just scream “I spent half your monthly grocery bill to look this silly.”
