I have been using these for a while so I wanted to give you my 2 week experience to see if it is worth the 120hz upgrade. Do you want to see more or a specific feature review on the XREAL Air 2 or XREAL Air 2 Pro let me know. Do you like the new Red XREAL Air 2? Or you sticking with the black? Remember they used to be known as Nreal so you might see them referred to as the Nreal Air 2 and the Nreal Air 2 Pro but they rebranded as XREAL. Same company, same cool tech just a slightly different name.

Hey man, can you please, do a video about software development in Xreal??? What do I mean about that: - You dont need to be a developer - You just need to install visual studio code, copy any javascript code you can find in internet and paste in visual studio code - Tell us if it is possible to see the letters clearly or if there is any disconfort, distortion etc... Please, do it. Everybody is talking just about watching movies, playing games... but Xreal has a much more bigger potential than just that.
@ivandecimus2637 5 місяців тому
Having this is a mixed bag, I have a pair of Air 2's and I'm not sure is it me or everyone else is experiencing this but the sides of the screen is slightly blurry (top bottom left and right). Maybe my head is big or something, but I need to shift the glasses depending on where I want to look at to see it clearly. I do not own Xreal's Beam so I am not sure will those help but essentially by using the Beam, you can probably make do with it as it makes the screen "fixed" to a certain area, making it like an actual screen without it constantly following you where you are looking at. So to answer your question, no its not worth it as a software developer for now. BUT there is a software called "Ginger XR" which allows you to have up to 3 virtual monitors which I think is extremely useful. But as of now its only compatible with the Xreal Air 1. Hope this answers your question and everyone else's curiosity, have a good day.

@arvandvarahram 5 місяців тому
Thank you Danny for pointing out many details. A few questions (would be great if you found time to answer them). Does FHD per eye mean that my notebook would recognize it as an external display with FHD resolution? Are prescription lenses required, or is it possible to adjust the eyes on the glasses directly, at least on a basic level? How about eye fatigue? Could you wear them for several hours?
@dannywinget 5 місяців тому
Thanks for watching! FHD does mean per eye and yes your note book would recognize it at that resolution. Unfortunately I don’t see any way to adjust the eyes on the glasses directly so if you wear glasses you would need the prescription lens attachment that comes in the box. The eye fatigue is there but I can wear them comfortably to finish a regular movie if that helps. Everyone has a different level of fatigue. Mine is more because I don’t wear glasses at all (including sunglasses) so I fatigue earlier just due to the wearable itself and not the displays.

@XREAl_Tech_Support 5 місяців тому
Hi, arvand. Thank you for your comment. Yes, as long as your computer supports FHD video output, when the glasses are connected to your computer, it will be recognized as FHD. Regarding prescription lenses, our product packaging includes a frame for prescription lenses, and you can take the frame to an optical store for lens fitting. Our AR glasses have obtained TUV certification and are eye-friendly. However, if this is your first time using AR/VR glasses, we still recommend taking a break every 45 minutes to 1 hour to gradually adapt.

@dannywinget 5 місяців тому
I don’t think there is UV protection on the glasses themselves but I think there are 3rd party that do Polarized UV covers. To answer your question they do go dark enough to wear them as sunglasses especially with the electrochromic dimming on the Air 2 Pro but they do sit different than sunglasses because of the nose pads so you would have to try them. I don’t wear sunglasses at all so I couldn’t tell you from personal experience.

Hi, weekend. The Air 2 Pro has a three-level dimming control, which allows users to adjust the light transmittance. I think it is enough to wear as sunglasses. But our AR glasses don't support UV protection.
