Vuzix iWear AV920

Mihir26 December 2009

I bought one of these. I was very dissappointed with it. It's going back to the shop ASAP for the following reasons: - The build quality is very poor. - The sound is full of background noise, this is not a big deal as you can use your own headphones - The displayed picture was blurry. The kind of picture you used to get on CRT tvs when it was not tuned properly. I tried everything including different inputs but the result was the same regardless, poor!! - The tilting of 15% it promises is only possible if you hold it in that position, otherwise it simply springs back. - The display cannot be changed in anyway (at all!!) to accomodate for spectical wears, even +/-0.5 correction. So you better have 20/20 or wear contacts The idea behind this product is spot on, it's a very useful product to have for those who don't have the space or the money for a 50+inch tv. But until it has been prefected I would not recommend buying it!!!

The Gadget show is one of the best & most informative shows on TV & I strive to own some of the items shown or I attempt to seek out better products against their measured judgements. Currently I am relying on their guidance for the best SLR digital camera to replace my long held one that has recently & finally burned out altogether after many years of satisfactory abuse. I also own the predecessor to the iWear AV920 & it's totally brilliant by comparison - evidently never beaten - the Olympus Eye Trek !
