My Posts This: Topic Forum | I Froogled my Eyetops and got them for $150 (including portable DVD player, two VERY nice pouches and a bunch of batterys, etc, etc.)on a factory refurbished set - LUCKY find!
The screen is only .3" across but has an advertised visual appearance of 30". Since I have post 40 disease, my close up vision is CRAP now, so that little screen one inch from my eye was useless for me. Clever fellow that I am, I purchased a pair of 3x readers from the Dollar Store (now driving my cost up to $151 ) -proceeded to cut a .5" square out of it with my trusty dremel and epoxied this over the existing screen. Now my little screen is very clear and even larger - reccomended mod for even the young ones among us btw.
The great things about the Eyetops was that they double as sunglasses (not exactly Oakleys, but just about right for our Boise sun) I cut a small piece of black felt and glued it across the top, right frame of the glasses effectively cutting out all glare.
Finally, I put a large rubber band between the two temple arms (yes, they're really called that) to keep the Eyetop very secure and snug.
Wow! This is the ticket for solo work. The resolution is 76,800 pixels which is pretty huge for a .3" screen and the colors are spot on.
