SUCKER FOR SONY...A NEW EXPERIENCE

by artbyjude Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Jul 11 '00
Pros: Priced to sell on web auction, Sony quality technology, and wonderful for adding a new dimension to DVD viewing.
Cons: Causes brain damage (not really) and is not portable as sold
I am a BIG fan of Sony. I had been watching the specs on this product for weeks. They look cool. I had great plans, mostly centering around an image of myself, alone in my virtual reality, surrounded by sight and sound. Another re-run of Twilight Zone?...

Watching shows on the TV is a thing of the past

by ss3goku , Jul 12 '01
Pros: Light weight, portable, captures you into whats going on
Cons: To much open viewing space, nose piece can bother some, to many cords
I always found technology to be an impressive thing, and looking back at the history of television, it's hard to know what the next step will be; at least it was for me. Just recently were we introduced to HDTV format television and television that have...

Cool Idea, Bad Execution!

by gauldd01 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Oct 15 '00
Pros: State of the Art, Lightweight, Just plain cool
Cons: Poor resolution, too many parts
The Sony Glasstron PLM-A35 Personal Portable Theater system is one of the neatest idea's that I have seen. I was so enthusiastic when I saw it written up in Wired Magazine that I ordered one immediately. (As a note, it was $350 at Onvia.com, the least...

by ShaunC , Sep 22 '00
Pros: Powerful video, stunning sound, portability, high cool-factor
Cons: SVideo cable not included, may disorient some people
Not quite yet, but very very close. The Glasstron is simply amazing and a definite must have for gadget collectors or with portable DVD players!

Pros: N/A
Cons: N/A
I am a big fan of Sony, so I like buying some cool stuff that is made by Sony.
Here are the reason why this thing is cool and why you should get it.


Sony's Glasstron looks like sunglasses, but is really a home theater...

The Glasstron kicks glass! (How's THAT for clever?)

by burgerlm , Mar 01 '00
Pros: Terrific picture and sound, lightweight, look great
Cons: Cables can get in the way, may cause motion sickness
Ever since I can remember, I have wanted TV glasses. I don't know why - I just think something like that would be really cool. I never really thought anything like that would be invented - it seems to "Jetsons" for most folk - but I think the...

Got Dramamine?

by sundancebean , May 04 '00
Pros: Excellent Quality, TV/VCR/DVD/PSX Compatibility, Great Sound
Cons: No PC Compatibility, Nose of the Glasses gets annoying, Wires get in the way sometimes
For about a year now I have wanted the Sony Glasstron's. I finally saved up enough for the cheap model, the $499.00 PLM-A35. The glasses arrived on the day they were promised, yet I had a problem but Customer Service (another epinion, another time.)...

Wonderful

by Compbike11 , Apr 02 '00
Pros: Very good graphics
Cons: Not well advertised, and a little over most peoples price ranges
Very compact, easy use, perfect for traveling, and the best high-res digital graphics. I think that this is the perfect for kids because you
can play your systems on it, watch your movies, and not annoy your parents while your doing it.

Glasstron TV glasses - Cool for a while, then get a real TV.

by bobslider , Jan 14 '04
Pros: Cool idea, makes for good conversation.
Cons: BAD for your eyes, can't watch with anyone else.
When I was but a lad I got my first real full time paying job, my first credit card, and decided I was rich, and needed to spend my money in super-cool fashion (at this point I was living at home, so I had no expenses) My first idea was to buy a big ...

The Newest Technology for under $500; Why You Should Buy It

by TheNihcman , May 09 '00
Pros: Size, Clarity, Portability
Cons: Somewhat costly
Being a big fan of Sony Technology, Minidiscs, Portable Televisions and now, Glasstron’s have become a part of my daily life. I purchased the PLM-A35 a few weeks ago, after testing one that my friend owned. I decided to shell out the $450 on eBay for a...

Not quite

by guruant , Sep 07 '01
Pros: Good sound
Cons: Wires can get in the way, poor picture, lacking video controls
I purchased the Sony Glasstron for use with my DVD player and an optional monitor for my PS2. Unfortunately it did not live up to my hopes.

I am mostly disappointed with the video quality and lack of controls. The unit lacks contrast and...

All I Gotta Say Is "Sweet!"

by kapurboy , Dec 10 '00
Pros: Great Idea, Cool Looking, Great Sound and Picture
Cons: Hurts Your Nose After An Hour Or So
Ever since I saw the movie "True Lies" and saw the sunglasses with the monitor built into them, I have always wanted my own personal theater system. I was surfing the internet and came upon a very cool little toy, the Sony Glasstron.

Cool gadget

by Kamdine , Jan 27 '00
Pros: Fun, light, small.
Cons: Not too practical, hurts the eyes.
This is a cool little gadget which you need if you have a Sony portable DVD. The design is really nice and the ide is really nice too... But... Watching a whole movie with them does hurt the eyes a bit. The image is really crisp. You do see the pixels,...

The not ready for prime time gadget

by wrobinso , Feb 04 '00
Pros: Light, ultra-cool
Cons: Well, they don't quite work
Uh-uh, not yet. As cool as they look, they don't even sit nicely on the bridge of your nose. As swoopy as they are on the outside, inside you've got a screen that's not quite as cinemascope as you'd like to believe they'd be, so the experience is not...
