What was your experience with them? It might save somebody a bit of cash to read what your findings were.

They don't have a lot of resolution. And the color is HORRIBLE, almost black and white. It's not like looking at a 36 inch screen 3 feet away, it's like looking at a 1 inch screen 1 inch from your eyes.....

It's much easier for me just to look at my camcorder screen.......

Ok thanx.....I'm still waiting on a 2.5 inch monitor to use as a viewfinder. I think I'll pass on these glasses then. Not worth the time it seems. The only thing I'm looking for is a way to accurately set up photos and take some of the guess work out. Thanx again.

It would be safe to assume that the small screen would have a very bad resolution, and that its close to your eyes, it would just seem like a big blurry TV screen.

Yet the expensive ones are much more impressive, despite having small screens very close to your eyes. They just have better color and much higher resolution.

I've posted several times about these glasses on RCGroups. I use these glasses and they are what you pay for. The video is like looking at two camcorder view finders. The resolution is not that high on them. The picture on them looks like a worn out VHS porn tape. You can make things out, but it's not like watching a DVD. You will want to adjust the brightness and contrast before you take off. If you're looking for something quick and dirty to try out, their fine. If you want something that looks like HDTV go with something else.

Also I think they are cheaper if you buy them directly from their store, not on Ebay.
