Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)While I was very excited when I read the claims of iPhone, PC, and game console compatibility, I was very disappointed when I attempted to use the product.
1. iPhone - what they don't tell you is that you can't show anything on the screen except video through your iTunes account. I wanted this unit specifically to watch Netflix via my iPhone, and all I get is a blank screen - reading the fine print in the manual reveals that iPhone will only display through it's own media player. They could have mentioned this fact in the advertisement, but not a single word. The end result - this "feature" alone ruins the product for me. Of course, I can't absolve Apple of responsibility - they are the fools that have always built proprietary function into all of their products.
2. PC through the optional VGA adapter - sounded good, but either the unit is defective, or it is not compatible with my video card. Funny thing is that the nVidia applet reports that the adapter is there - it just doesn't work, yet my second monitor works just fine.
3. Yay! I got the PS3 connector to work! (dripping with sarcasm just in case it was not obvious) The best resolution it will display is 480p - for those of us that are accustomed to 1080i/p games, it is kind of like looking at your monitor through a swimming pool.
4. I was not able to ever achieve perfect focus (either a problem or the resolution just plain stinks) my vision is 20/20
My summary - I doubt that this unit will be good for anything I do. If Vuzix had only been honest in their marketing (I know, stupid of me to think that would ever happen), I'd have never purchased this product. Yes, they have sold me a piece of goods, but I'll forever give them bad recommendations, and obviously never purchase from them again. I guess they are happier with a $300 sale rather than worry about all the bad press they will receive from a consumer who feels cheated.
