It's okay, if I couldn't see in HD I'd probably give up too.

Yeah. But I had to take my real glasses off to do so. It was blurry, but it was blurry in high-def!

Global Laziness · « **Reply #17 on:** June 27, 2011, 06:35:50 PM »

Has anybody with better vision tried these?

TheMadgician · « **Reply #18 on:** June 27, 2011, 07:10:03 PM »

Both of my parents have them. They claim they're fantastic sun glasses. And they probably think they're seeing in HD, too. My parents are dumb. I saw the box and started laughing about how dumb they are, my parents got pissed.

I don't know about these, but I'm in for 8-bit glasses.

brakkum · « **Reply #23 on:** June 28, 2011, 02:56:31 AM »

Being a photographer I can almost guarantee that they are just polarized lenses. Cut glare in haze in the sun, reduce reflections and therefor increase saturation in plants and darken the sky. Here:

kári · « **Reply #24 on:** June 28, 2011, 03:11:29 AM »

For $10 or whatever they cost it sure as hell won't be a polarized lens. Or a very, very crappy one.

FlyingBIZKIT · « **Reply #25 on:** June 28, 2011, 03:28:36 AM »

Haha, they have everything these days...every pointless thing...

Chino · « **Reply #26 on:** June 28, 2011, 07:43:02 AM »

I'm going to buy these tonight.

When are they going to come out with glasses that let you see the matrix circuitry like Neo?

They have been marketing these for years (as polarized glasses) with HD being the big thing they just changed the name. I own a pair that I bought for fishing years ago and yes they do work, they reduce a huge amount of glare caused by the suns reflections off of things in your field of vision.

He speaks the truth. I scoffed just like most in here have done when I first heard about these but when someone bought 'em and let me try 'em on I was somewhat impressed. Everything seemed to have this warm glow to it in a surreal way since there seemed to be a minute green tint going on which I guess may be from the glasses possibly cancelling out various color light frequencies.

Basically it made the world look like a lush video game landscape and, yes, many things were a lot easier to see and distinguish compared to without the glasses so they do have my approval. I think the biggest question for this product will be whether they'll attract more customers with the "HD" tag or run 'em off because of how silly and phony the name sounds.

Seeing Wal Mart shoppers in HD has been I live long dream. It's like seeing The Hills Have Eyes in real life HD.
