Gunnar Optiks Day 3: A Harder Day Than Most
Home : News : News Story

We try out the Gunnar Optiks glasses and give a day by day analysis


They say third time's a charm. The third day with the Gunnars was the most difficult, mainly because I was set on using them every moment of my computerdom.

For those who don't know, I spend time on the road far too often, within LA. It's either here or there, all the time, so my laptop is my connection to the interwebz when I'm not at my trusty desktop. 

So other than the fact that the Gunnar's aren't exactly made to be travel material and for laptop use, they looked pretty funky. Nobody came up and questioned it, but hey, it's LA. 

On the laptop, they weren't very fun, especially outside. Having sit outside for about two hours, I found them to be very distracting. The Gunnars are made so you can focus on a screen easily. Not a small screen, not a standard 4:3 screen...a close up, widescreen, or possibly a set of two or three monitors. But when a 14.1" laptop is a few feet away and its sunny outside...yeah, doesn't work too well.

Anyways, more on Saturday's long day of gaming coming next time!
