New Display Glasses Available Now for High-Refresh Gaming

Post By: By: NeoKnox

High refresh rates are a familiar feature on gaming monitors. Display glasses with a high refresh rate can now be ordered and plugged into a handheld, a gaming PC or a console.

The newest of these from RayNeo are the RayNeo GT Max and RayNeo GT, the two models that make up the GT Series, and both are on sale through the RayNeo store. They sit alongside RayNeo Air 4 Pro, the established entry point in the lineup. All three refresh at up to 120Hz (in 2D on the GT models), which leaves the buying decision to fit, setup and accessories.

On sale now: GT Max and GT, alongside Air 4 Pro

GT Max and GT are the latest additions to RayNeo's AR display range, and they share a long list of specifications: a 0.6-inch SeeYa Micro-OLED display at 1920×1080, the Vision 4000 display chip, the Zone 360 3DoF chip for Native 3DoF spatial tracking, Bang & Olufsen tuned quad speakers, and the Follow, Steady and Pinned spatial modes.

Where they part ways is the view and the fit. GT Max has a 59° field of view with adjustable screen sizes of 227, 267 or 307 inches and comes in three IPD sizes. GT has a 46° field of view with adjustable sizes of 136, 201 or 231 inches, a single fixed 64mm IPD design and a 68g frame, against 78g for GT Max. Screen size is a display setting adjusted during use, not a version chosen at checkout; on GT Max, only the IPD size is picked when ordering.

Air 4 Pro is the entry point to RayNeo's AR entertainment lineup. It shows a 201-inch screen, weighs 76g and includes a Game display mode, and it has official bundles built around console and Switch play.

A pick for each gaming setup

Gaming setup Where to start
Handheld PC on the sofa or on the road GT, the lightest of the three at 68g, with Native 3DoF for travel and everyday play
Gaming PC or laptop at a desk GT Max, for the 59° view and the largest screen sizes, 227, 267 or 307 inches
PS5 or Xbox through HDMI GT Max or GT with the RayNeo HDMI Adapter, or the Air 4 Pro + HDMI Adapter bundle
Nintendo Switch or Switch 2 The Air 4 Pro + JoyDock bundle, with the JoyDock Switch 2 Bracket for Switch 2; a docked Switch also connects to GT or GT Max through the HDMI Adapter

Handhelds and laptops with USB-C video output (DisplayPort Alt Mode) connect straight to all three with the cable in the box. Consoles and other HDMI devices add the RayNeo HDMI Adapter, sold separately.

Matching the buyer to GT Max, GT or Air 4 Pro

Each model is designed around a different kind of buyer.

GT Max is built for movies, gaming and long viewing sessions. It suits a player who games for hours at a time, wants the widest 59° view and is happy to pick an IPD size at checkout for a fit matched to their eyes.

GT is built for travel, commuting and everyday entertainment. It suits a player whose games travel with them, on a handheld or a laptop, and who values the lighter 68g frame and the simple fixed 64mm IPD design.

Air 4 Pro is built for movies, gaming and first-time AR users. It suits a first pair bought around a console or a Switch, since its official bundles combine the glasses with the HDMI Adapter or with JoyDock in a single order. Air 4 Pro is offered in a Standard Edition as well as Limited Justice and Chaos Editions.

Choosing a GT Max size at checkout

GT Max is sold in three IPD sizes, picked as the edition at checkout: S for an IPD under 64mm, M for 64 to 67mm, and L for over 67mm. IPD is the distance between the centers of the pupils, and matching the size to it lines the eyes up with the optical viewing area for a clearer, more comfortable picture.

RayNeo's measuring tool at ipd.rayneo.com runs in a smartphone browser and gives a reading before the order is placed. GT Max also ships with three nose pads, and its nose-pad heights come in S, M and L for different pupil heights, so the vertical fit can be tuned once the glasses arrive.

GT takes the opposite approach, with one fixed 64mm IPD optical design and nose pads for centering. Buyers who want an IPD-specific fit choose GT Max. The GT and GT Max IPD options explainer walks through the sizes in more detail.

Console and Switch bundles worth a look

For PlayStation and Xbox, the RayNeo HDMI Adapter sits between the console's HDMI port and the glasses' USB-C cable. It works with GT, GT Max and Air 4 Pro, and Air 4 Pro also comes as an official Air 4 Pro + HDMI Adapter bundle.

Switch players have a ready-made option in the Air 4 Pro + JoyDock bundle. The JoyDock docks a Switch to Air series glasses for a 201-inch handheld screen, and the JoyDock Switch 2 Bracket lets the same dock hold a Switch 2, with Switch 2 support enabled through a JoyDock firmware upgrade. Players who want a GT model for Switch games can connect a docked Switch through the HDMI Adapter, since Nintendo Switch is among the HDMI devices GT and GT Max support.

What comes in the box

GT and GT Max ship ready to connect to a compatible USB-C device. Each box holds the glasses, a USB-C to USB-C cable that is DisplayPort compatible, a carrying case, a prescription lens sample, four anti-slip temple pads, a cleaning cloth, a user guide and a warranty and safety guide. GT comes with two nose pads, and GT Max, delivered in the IPD size chosen at checkout, comes with three.

Air 4 Pro arrives with the glasses, a prescription-lens frame (sample), a data cable, a nose pad component, a carry case, a cleaning cloth and a user manual.

For a handheld, a laptop or a phone with USB-C video output, the box covers everything needed for the first session. Consoles and other HDMI sources add the HDMI Adapter.

First day with new glasses

Setup on GT and GT Max is a matter of plugging in. The glasses have no power button: connected with the included cable, they turn on automatically when they detect power and a video signal from the source, and they switch off when the cable is removed. No app is needed for that external-display role.

The RayNeo XR App is optional and adds media features on supported devices, such as playback of side-by-side 3D videos. Air 4 Pro has its own companion, the RayNeo Air Series App, and works the same way for basic viewing.

The day-one controls sit on the frame. GT and GT Max use three physical buttons, Volume, Spatial Mode and Menu, and offer Standard, Movie, Eye Protection and Office display modes. The remaining step is fit, where GT Max's three nose pads and GT's two help the picture sit centered in front of the eyes.

Returns, price protection and trade-in

Orders placed on rayneo.com come with a set of purchase terms that matter for a first pair of gaming glasses:

  • A 30-day return window.
  • 30-day price protection, which refunds the difference if the price drops within 30 days.
  • A limited warranty of 1 year as standard, or 2 years for products delivered within the EU or EFTA.
  • Free standard shipping on eligible orders.

A trade-in program is also available for GT Series and RayNeo iO purchases when an eligible device is traded in.

Buying FAQ

What happens if the GT Max size turns out to be wrong?

GT Max orders come with a 30-day return window, and RayNeo customer service arranges returns. Measuring at ipd.rayneo.com before ordering is the simplest way to land on the right size the first time.

Which accessories are worth adding with GT Series glasses?

The accessories offered alongside GT and GT Max at checkout include the HDMI Adapter for consoles, the USB-C Charging Adapter for charging a USB-C PD source device while using the glasses, the Sound Tube for GT and GT Max, which directs audio into the ears for louder, clearer listening, and Pocket TV Pro for streaming.

How is the right GT Max nose pad chosen?

GT Max nose pads come in S, M and L heights for different pupil heights. The one to keep is the pad that sits securely and comfortably while keeping the whole picture centered; moving it up or down fine-tunes the vertical position of the glasses.

How do GT Series glasses receive firmware updates?

On Android, the RayNeo XR App normally shows a notification when new glasses firmware is available, and the update can also be started from Glasses Settings > Firmware upgrade. iPhone users and others update from a Windows PC or Mac by opening the RayNeo Firmware Update Page in Chrome and connecting the glasses to the computer's USB-C port.
