GoovisArt HMD Your Favorite Extended 3D Viewer for Multi-Tasking with Widest IPD Adjustment Ultra-Wide Open View Design|Sharp Edge,No Glare|Streaming|Gaming|Smartphone|FPV|Photography|Tablet (White)

I wear glasses and wanted AR glasses to watch movies and game but the added cost of another prescription for them wasn't worth it. Especially if I have no idea what I was getting into like issues of AR glasses having blurriness on the sides. And VR headsets are too big and heavy. I saw the Goovis Art with it's support for people who wear glasses and gave it a shot.My primary use is for movies and games btw. Using it in lit conditions is very impressive as no outside light will effect your OLED screen view. At all. Amazing accomplishment. It's fairly light and comfortable to a degree. I could wear it for 3hrs before I needed to take it off. Enough for gaming or a movie. I didn't mess with the settings much but mainly to get proper focus. After that, settings were untouched. So about the band that goes on your forehead. It should be tight enough so the Art doesn't wobble too much. Which could lead to an uneven view or even slight blurriness. For user's who wear prescription lens, in some cases, the Art will touch your glasses/lens if you lay your head down which could scratch them. It also adds slight pressure to your glasses due to weight which you feel on your nose between your eyes. Adjusting the hinge or band can sometimes help.OLED picture is good though there are some details lost in dark scenes and could use better brightness to fix it. I suspect most people will be using the Art at max brightness because that is where it looks best. Screen size is reasonably good. I heard some reviews saying that the screen could be bigger and I agree. However, this screen size/housing allows you to see your surroundings a lot better so it's a tradeoff. It's a fair amount of room to look around like for your coffee or someone you need to talk to. For a screen size test, I played Sleeping Dogs with the subtitles. This game has tiny subtitles which always annoyed me. On the Art, the screen size and distance is a mildly good fix for this situation.3D movies work! I was skeptical on this and some people say it doesn't. It does but only seems to accept left and right 3D type contents. The top and bottom 3D content don't work. Watched "The Meg" and "Pacific Rim" in 3d and it was glorious!For my Rog Ally handheld, it is a mixed issue. The Art works and it works well. However, as some may know, the Ally has only 1 usb c port. So you will have to go off it's battery. If your thinking of using a dock, the Art doesn't work here with a dock at all for some reason(even if it's highly powered). Only straight into the Ally's only usb port. If your handheld has 2 usb ports, then your lucky. You can use the Art and charge your handheld at the same time. While Goovis has a solution for this through their accessories, they are costly and add more cables to the mix. Time to upgrade my handheld I guess...I have a current Samsung Android smartphone and it unfortunately doesn't work when plugged in. I tried everything and googled the issue with no fix. I contacted Goovis and THEY DID NOT RESPOND. What also doesn't work is the audio. No sound when audio is plugged in. But I use my dac for that so it's not a big issue. Another issue is the usb c port itself. Goovis wants you to buy only their usb c cable and they pulled this off by making the usb c port on the Art TINY. And their usb c cable has a very thin housing which is why it fits. I have a bunch usb c cables and all couldn't fit. From a greedy perspective, this is brilliant without going into proprietary designs. With all this said this is where 2 full stars gets knocked off.I've had my Goovis Art for almost a month now. While I like it and do recommend it but only with caution. One, certain things don't work and the company is not responsive. They should be because one of their claims is the Art is compatible with an Android phone. If you need it for anything else, I would say works really well and is worth the price. Just barely.Improvements for future model?:-Larger screen. Just a bump without losing too much of your outer view.-Better usb c cable support, lol.-Gaming oriented features: 120hz and VRR-Add silicone ends the screen housing so it doesn't scratch glasses for users who wear them or simply have an extension to distance the Art slight further away from the face so it doesn't touch the glasses which puts pressure on the user's face.Hope this review helps anyone who's interested in getting one.

They all have the same issue a giant screen way to close to your face you can't see the hole image, also leads to the problem of when using this for computer use its hard to see the interface elements..

I like the product design, it's very light, the screen looks better than those AR glasses, but the problem is quality control.The first unit I got has a single dead pixel on the left panel and came with a small dent. The replace I got is much worse, came with 5+ dead pixels and a chip (see the photo)Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I have multiple XR products including Quest 2/3, Vive, Vision Pro, none of them have dead pixels

This setup functions absolutely flawlessly. It is a perfect brightness with the adjustability easily acceptable. It's lightweight without causing any kind of pain. Very easy to use and set up and the clarity of vision is absolutely exceptional. Simple setup and can be connected to several different devices whether it be Android or iOS or PS or Xbox or anything in between, simply connect the HDMI cable and you are good to go.

tl;dr - Good display. Limited use case? Lacking in comfort/adjustability. Feels priced above its useful out-of-box functionality.What I liked:+ Connection is as simple as a plugging into a USB-C video capable port.+ Display is crisp, and colors are vibrant with great black levels.+ The edges of the viewable area are sharp, just like looking at a TV screen.+ Relatively light in weight.+ Nice to have the option for 3.5mm audio.+ USB-C extension port on top is good for plugging in a dongle for earbuds if wanted.+ IPD adjustment took some finagling to get right but once locked it's set and forget.+ I'm near to mid-sighted and the independent L/R myopia adjustment allowed me to view fine without my glasses on.+ Worked great weather plugged into my PC or my PS4 Pro, with the latter requiring a HDMI to USB-C adapter.+ Built in speakers are surprisingly loud.What I was neutral on:~ The "screen size" advertisement is mostly accurate but can be a bit misleading. This isn't like VR where your FOV can change based on the size and placement of your virtual screen. Your FOV is fixed, and the perception of the screen's size will depend on your theoretical viewing distance. So, yes, if I'm looking at a wall roughly 13 feet away from me and pretend that the screen I'm viewing is mounted to said wall, I would say that the amount of my field of view taken up by the display is roughly equivalent to a 100"-110" screen. However, If I'm sitting at my desk, my field of view being used by the display is just a touch larger than a 27" monitor at roughly 20"-24" of viewing distance. This is not a replacement for VR.~ I find the best use for this HMD is when your head is in a fixed or at least resting position, such as leaning back into a headrest. While using this plugged into my PC, I never realized how many micro-movements my head goes through while using the mouse and typing and it can be a strain on the eyes. Think shaky cam/found footage movies, just not quite as exaggerated. Even watching a movie while seated, but without my head supported was a bit of a struggle. For reference, I do suffer from motion sickness as a passenger in a car but never have an issue in first person games.~ Display does indeed have great black depth, but the overall brightness could be a touch better.~ Built in speakers are surprisingly loud, even at the minimum setting. Do those around you a favor and use earbuds.What I didn't care for:- I guess forehead slope and/or eye depth varies, because I wish I could have the HMD closer to my eyes. It's hard to explain but having it out in front of my eyes at the currently fixed depth is weirdly distracting. If I angle the top of the unit away from my head, forcing the display closer, that feeling is gone. I wish they included different size headband pads (which are easily removable, by the way) to accommodate for differing head shapes.- The included headband is functional, but only just. It really needs the top strap at a minimum, as I constantly had issues with the HMD sliding down my forehead even though it is relatively light in weight. The sweet spot for viewing, at least for me, was relatively narrow, so any change in position of the HMD caused my eyes to lose focus or clarity somewhere on the screen and needing to move it around. Also, since I had to have it tighter than I would have cared for, my forehead got fairly warm in a short amount of time. The sold separately Zero-pressure Headstrap, might help. But the also sold separately GOOVIS G Cap is likely what I would need/want.- The included carry bag is just that. No padding or protection for your almost $500 gadget. GOOVIS does have a hard case, but it is, you guessed it...sold separately.Notes:* Look, I love the tech. The unit itself is great and had no issues in function or QC, so that is to be commended. But the overall comfort, ergonomics and QoL features are really lacking and for the cost that's a real shame. If it is a nuisance or frustrating to use without additional purchases, then I'm less likely to use it.* Also, I got this to work with my PS4 Pro's HDMI output with a no-name (ASIN: B0DSZXZSTX) HDMI to USB-C adapter that is less than half the cost of the sold separately GOOVIS adapter (just make sure it has power pass through for a display).* This is just my opinion, but I feel the use case here is limited to mostly entertainment or media consumption where private viewing is desired. Be that for travel, in a situation where you don't want to distract others or don't want distractions (like kids using the main TV) to bother you while still being present. I did use this with my PC in my normal daily routine, but it was not really an improvement, more as an alternative. I typically use a 34" ultrawide display on my main PC, so this was actually a downgrade in overall screen space for me. I also have an 18" portable monitor, so even during travel it would be only marginally more useful for myself for compute reasons.

This headset isn't adjustable enough to really be usable. Putting the thing on comfortably puts the screens far below my eyes, and the height there can't be adjusted so I either have to move the whole thing weirdly high up on my head or just not use it. It's a really weird, disappointing design.
