Playing Steam Deck on a long haul flight sounds good on paper, but 12 hours of looking down at a screen while heading from London to LA can cause some real neck pain. That may just be me being old, but I hope someone relates to this!
Either way, the solution has just been discounted dramatically. Right now, you can get $108 off the Xreal Air AR glasses at Xreal, and as a religious user of them on long journeys, I can safely say they may just be the best Black Friday deal for frequent travelers who want to do so in big picture style.
Why should you buy Xreal Air AR glasses?
I wrote about these glasses being a Steam Deck revolution during my time at Laptop Mag, and nine months later, that hasn’t changed. It is still easily one of the best accessories you can buy for your portable gaming machine.
Whether on long-haul flights, travelling on a lengthy train journey, or even sat at home in a rather tiny flat, the capabilities of these AR specs really bring out the best of your portable devices. Essentially, it’s a TV that only you can see, as the prisms just behind the lenses project a massive display directly into your eyes.
And it’s an impressive screen too — a 3,840 x 1,080-pixel OLED display with a claimed 108% sRGB color gamut, up to 400 nits of brightness and a 100,000:1 contrast ratio. The picture is super vivid and smooth with that 60Hz refresh rate, and without needing to crane my neck over the Steam Deck’s display, it eliminates any potential aches and pains.
So what are you waiting for? This is lowkey one of the best Black Friday tech deals you can snap up right now.
