Definitely an interesting gadget, and fairly affordable too, if only for the curiosity

Says it is a shell shocker, but usually goes back on sale for around the same price after 11:59PM and if not then, sometimes on Monday's,

I think people generally don't understand what it is and isn't, especially in the world of Oculus. This simply allows you to privately watch something from your phone or tablet. Good if you are traveling or don't want to disturb someone/kids at night. If you focus on those scenarios, you should be okay. People get disappointed because it's not Bluetooth and not VR, etc. Just focus on what it is, not what it isn't.

The item has a low rating because of bad design and bad quality. The seller, GO2PLAY, currently has a 67% positive rating, mostly because of non-communication on lost shipments and returns. I don't buy from Newegg anymore because they don't honor their return policy. It's a good price on an interesting item, but the manufacturer, seller, and marketplace are all bad news.

I have had no problems with newegg honoring their return policy, as long as I know I have to pay return shipping if I change my mind on a product. Anytime there was an issue with the product itself they have always provided me a return slip.

Been thinking about using this as a computer monitor at work, have you tried it for that purpose? Does it work well? Is the text grainy and hard to make out?

My dentist had one of these. I read a pdf/research paper while getting my teeth cleaned (tethered to my iPhone). So definitely the resolution is good enough for reading. Might get it for ergonomics since reading on phone while in bed is bad ergonomics

I made the mistake of accepting a replacement in place of a return. 10 days to ship original order, 1 week to get the rest of the parts and find a problem with the computer, 1 week to return it, 1 week for the replacement to arrive. I tested the replacement computer immediately and it was in even worse shape. Newegg told me that because my original order was more 30 days ago it was beyond the return date. They were content leaving me with a brick. Thankfully Intel stepped in and not just offered an exchange, they offered a full refund for the purchase price. Here we are 2 years later and I haven't bought another item on Newegg, but I have purchased another Intel NUC computer.

I don't expect anyone to stop doing business with Newegg on my behalf, but please save yourselves and demand a refund instead of an exchange if something doesn't work.
