TCL’s NXTWEAR G movie glasses could have been great

Let me ask a question: Do you really want to buy a pair of private cinema glasses? Although they can, they always feel like artifacts from distopia that have not swallowed us. When the air is burning and the ocean is boiling, you will not match 40 inch HDTV into the existence-support-pod, so this must be done. It doesn’t shout “aspirational.”

It doesn’t help anyone – not Sony, Avegant, Royole and the other – has succeeded in making this concept function. Private cinema, then, has replaced VR as go-to every time someone needs to talk about products that are naturally on the edge breaking into, and never have. However, even though they become a solution to seek problems, and their historical concessions, everything might change.

You see, TCL has banged this special door for years and now, it is preparing to launch its first model. NxTwear G uses glasses Display solves many problems that tempt previous efforts. They are not perfect, and you may not want to buy a couple now, but this is the closest to making this concept function.

NxTwear GCL G puts two small views close to your eyes to cheat you to think you see a larger screen. Instead of craming glasses filled with technology, TCL put two views, a pair of speakers and hardware positioning in it. It makes weight gain down to 130 grams which is very easy to manage (4.5 ounces), much better for your neck for long-term wear.

Everything else, including power, handled by the device you installed, and a list of compatible hardware is quite long. You can use the main phone from Samsung, LG and Oneplus, and more than 30 laptops and more than 25 tablets and 2-in-1s. Basically, TCL makes a plug-and-play external display for your head that must be played well with a compatible USB-C display device.

The company decided to swim against many wisdom received that we have seen with other personal cinemas. Instead of trying to attach users in black vacancy, the better replicating the tenth feeling-in-a-mall-multiplex screen, TCL wants you to see the outside world. Even when I tried the prototype, in 2019, his representative said that you should feel comfortable wearing this on public transportation, interacting with people like you.

With every device, I have tried it, you only need to plug in GTSWear g and everything starts. If you use a compatible TCL cellphone, you will get a pop-up asking whether you want to use mirror mode, or PC mode, which set you in the Android desktop mode. The phone then acts as a touchpad for you to navigate with your finger, even if you want to do more than hunting-and-pecking, buy a keyboard and bluetooth mouse.

Connect it to my MacBook Pro too, and the machine recognizes it as an external display and I can work and watch TV with the main view I turned off. In fact, I wrote a piece of this part when it was in this case, even if I had to turn zoom to the crazy level to make sure everything could be read.

NXTwear G Packs A pair of 16: 9, 60Hz Micro-OLED 1080P displays what the company said is equivalent to a 140-inch screen. It requires the usual suspension of ocular thief but the effect works here, and the speaker does their work quite well. It should be said that they basically blow up the audio in each direction, so take your Bluetooth headphones if, say, your partner is really annoyed when they can hear you watch Columbo when you are on the bed.

I don’t know if you should expect pixel video quality – perfectly from this small screen pair but it is recommended that they will not beat your smartphone. Of course, HD videos look fine, but the small screen means it is very difficult to see good details. Color washed, certainly compared to recording played back on TCL 20 Pro 5G and my MacBook Pro is connected during testing.
