Lenovo has announced the Legion Glasses 2, a new version of its virtual display glasses. This updated model has a better design than the previous one, focusing on user comfort and better image quality.
The Legion Glasses 2 connects to devices through a USB Type-C port that can handle DisplayPort 1.4, turning the glasses into a sleek portable monitor—they cannot be used without a connected computer or other device. They also have three physical buttons for controlling functions. The glasses measure 52mm wide, 163mm deep, and 169mm high when fully assembled with their stand. The company mentions that the glasses will work with devices with a fully functional USB-C port supporting DisplayPort Alt Mode but warns that the content you can use may vary depending on the device.
The Legion Glasses 2 weigh only 65 grams and have a slim profile of 18.5mm, making them easier to wear for longer periods. They now use micro-OLED display technology, giving each eye a resolution of 1920 x 1080. They now cover 98% of the DCI-P3 color range, an upgrade from the previous model’s 90%. The brightness has also been boosted to a maximum of 800, up from just 270 nits before. Additionally, the display can refresh at rates of up to 120Hz, above the T1’s 60 HZ, making movement appear smooth. When you wear these glasses and look from about 4 meters away, they create the effect of a large 126-inch screen.
The technical details of the Legion Glasses 2 explain how well they perform visually. They have a contrast ratio of 200,000:1, which makes images look deeper and more vibrant. The glasses have a field of view of 43.5 degrees. They also come with two built-in high-quality speakers and two microphones for audio.
The expected starting price is $399.99, which is almost half the Asus’ M1 price. While the M1 is slightly better, it’s not so much better that it should cost $300 more. So Lenovo is a great buy for anyone interested in getting into smart glasses.
The Legion Glasses 2 also comes with an adjustable nose pad for comfort, a frame for prescription lenses for those who need glasses, a light shield to block out outside light, and a carrying case. They also support a 3D mode for media and gaming. They will be available in February 2025 on the official website.
