Vufine VUF-110 Wearable Display: A High-Definition Portable Monitor for On-the-Go Viewing

E: me being me, i had to take it apart to see if i could adjust it to fit my stylistic preferences better. naturally, the casing is now ruined. completely on me. other commenters are completely right when it comes to the magnetic joint to hold it to your glasses. it came with two: the first joint was really strong, but had no versatility, and the second one used a base plate to link the magnet, but the base plate was really weak, and the arm it was connected to wasn't nearly strong enough to keep it in place. i'd give it a 97/100.

picture quality is incredible if you click through the resolution settings, but i wasn't able to get it at my preferred resolution and also keep it in place, which was more an issue of the arm than the device itself.

i tried experimenting with removing the shell because it was way too thick and heavy to hang off my glasses, but nothing would come close to looking as good without also being really bulky. if i could have gotten the screen to the other side of my lenses (closer to my eye than my glasses are), the resolution would have been perfect, but alas such is life.

once i had taken the casing apart, the device...

Julio Maciel: Se adapta a su descripción funciona de maravilla. el montaje se puede mejorar. No se desanimen por los malos reviews funciona bien para ver videos no lo recomiendo para series subtituladas

Michael Angel: It includes a few rubber-stretched clamps to hold onto thick framed glasses and for any reasonable use you'd also want to have it plugged in for power; 85 minutes isn't long enough to even watch a full movie on a charge, plus you're having to wire into HDMI anyways; there was almost zero thought on actually putting this display on comfortably or to own this for any extended period of time.

The stretch required on the rubber means it'll fail after a few dozen addition/removals, and is definitely not something you'd want to keep on thin frames even with the poor basic metal adapter. There are niche uses for this but unfortunately it's very hard to keep it lined up perfectly with your eye to see more than about 40% of the screen. It takes in a 720p signal but downscales it to fit into a 960x540 panel, and by default starts in a zoomed in mode and you have to click the power button to switch between zoom, scale to fit, and fill modes. Pressing the power button feels awkward, more force than should be necessary for a toggle button, and causes you to shift the display out of focus because of the force needed.

6/10 for display tech

CJ: I've got decades of experience with VR, drones, and various head-mounted displays and the Vufine+ is a superb low-cost option for a monocular display that allows you to still maintain LOS to your drone -- an FAA requirement that's frequently broken by scofflaws.

But it's such a nice and comfortable HMD that I want to use it for so much more. I saw another reviewer claiming it's wonderful as a camera monitor and were they ever right! My Sony alpha cameras all worked flawlessly (after setting them to 'auto' resolution on the HDMI output) and it makes getting those crazy low angle kitten photos so much easier -- especially now that I'm older and can't get physically low as easily anymore.

It's even better than that; I want to wear it all the time so I can watch TV while I do the chores! I don't care if I look like a Borg reject -- if it means I can do the dishes and vacuum the house while I'm watching my soaps!

I will mention that the mount the Vufine+ comes with worked quite nicely for my test run, and I left it on my glasses (which are prescription frames that just happen to be identical to the ones in the box) -- then about an hour later,...

Dr. Hans-georg Kirk: Ich bin mit dem Artikel sehr zufrieden. Die variable einstellbare Halterung für die Brille ist allerdings sehr wackelig und man muss schon ein wenig basteln bis alle perfekt sitzt. Trotzdem 5 Sterne

Cue: It has terrible reviews for a reason but I wanted to give this one a shot for myself. In theory it seems like a great gadget. Practically it just isn’t there yet. It uses magnets to stick to the sides of your eyeglasses. It’s pretty heavy so you’ll feel it on your face and the plastic strap starting to rip within the first day. The device came dead so I had to charge. Took about 2 hours to fully reach 100. Once I started using it there is a few things you need to note. (I have an iphone11 for context) Since the lighting adapter port is connected, you will need Bluetooth headphones to play sound. You’ll hear nothing from the phone or the device. Two, the device is literally mirroring your phone so if you want to actually see what’s on the screen, you need to be in horizontal viewing mode on your phone. Everything is much smaller when you look at your phone vertically. Last but not least it’s extremely uncomfortable watching anything in one eye. It’s just not how depth perception works. You’ll find yourself with watery eyes and squinting.

Final: it’s not worth the money. it would have been really cool if it was but same yourself the time...

Rangerx52: The mount sucks, and jiggles around too easy. The cables can be cumbersome, the button on the end is not intuitive, it won't remember settings, and even when positioned properly, theres corners of the screen you wont be able to focus on. However, the screen is very nice, its bright, its crisp, the unit itself is light and small, and very inexpensive for what it is. For the money you save on buying this unit over a more expensive one, you can 3d print a proper mount, and pick up some slim cables, and you've got a great setup. Theres better out there, but not for this price.

Daniele: Il prodotto è davvero molto bello, ottimamente costruito, la visione connesso con un iPhone è davvero perfetta, è necessario l’adattatore lightning a hdmi, la dotazione è buona e si riesce ad adattare a diverse montature di occhiali. Il rapporto prezzo qualità è davvero ottimo.
