  eDimensional 3D Glasses review

--

 

Final Thoughts

The first thing to remember is that if you are using Windows 2000/XP, be sure you have an NVIDIA based card, of it will not work. Like I said previously, the glasses are well constructed and are comfortable at first. After a while, they became a bit uncomfortable around my nose, mainly because the relatively hard plastic resting on the bridge. I don’t wear glasses, and rarely wear shades so this might just be a getting used to thing. The cord isn’t really an issue, but if you have the extra cash for the wireless, it would be nice. The cord could have been a little longer; you might have problems if your tower isn’t close by.

Also notice 3D images on computers are not perfected. As good as they look; they are still a little blurry but that’s not to say they don’t look unbelievable. The 3D images are amazing, and will definitely add some spice to some of your favorite titles. I’d say if you want 3D, then these glasses are the best thing on the market, hands down.

In the other hand it’s just not something I would use with every game. When playing a racing game by myself, sure, but when playing Quake 3 online, forget it. Frame rates drop considerably, so you end up playing at lower resolutions. Lower resolutions mean graphics don’t look as sharp.

Overall, eDimensional glasses offer excellent 3D, and the $69.00 price tag is pretty reasonable especially compared to 3D monitors which cost in excess of $1500! I really liked them better than the 3D monitor, but I don’t know how much I will really use them. For you this might be different, but this is just how I feel. The glasses are also said to work with DVD titles, you just need to purchase additional software to witness this (which I did not). To sum it up, if you’re looking to add a little zing to some computer favorites, these 3D glasses will deliver.
