Xreal’s most affordable display glasses are $50 off
Xreal’s xbx A01 Plus display glasses are discounted to $254 at Amazon and through Xreal during October Prime Day, down $50 from their $299 launch price. The sale makes the glasses a more affordable option for viewing a virtual screen from connected devices.
They connect over USB-C to compatible laptops and gaming handhelds, and have screens the article describes as good-looking. Unlike Xreal’s pricier $399 1S, they lack built-in three degrees of freedom for keeping the virtual screen fixed in place; their shells are interchangeable, with a “Lights Out” option to block more surrounding light. Prescription lenses are available separately for $50.

Display glasses are wearable devices that project a virtual screen for your eyes only, allowing you to watch films, play games or work on documents as if they were displayed on a large monitor. They connect to laptops and gaming handhelds using a USB-C cable, so you can use them with a range of devices without needing a separate external screen.
Xreal is a company that produces display glasses. They make several different models aimed at different users and budgets, ranging from budget-friendly options to more advanced versions with extra features like motion tracking that keeps virtual screens locked in place as you move.
The A01 Plus is Xreal's entry-level model and one of their most affordable options. Compared to Xreal's premium glasses, it lacks motion tracking but makes up for this with interchangeable frames, including a "Lights Out" option that blocks more of the surrounding light. Those who need prescription lenses can purchase them separately.
