Productivity Review for Xreal One Pro
First of all, please don't get me wrong. This device does a lot of things really well. Watching movies, streaming videos, and other entertainment experiences are excellent.
However, this review is focused specifically on productivity and office use, because that's the main reason I bought these glasses.
My daily work mainly involves using AutoCAD for drafting and design. My goal was to have a large virtual monitor that I could comfortably work on every day, ideally a 32:9 ultrawide display.
Before buying these glasses, I tried another brand. Although that product didn't support 3DoF, which made the overall experience much less comfortable, I have to admit that its display quality was excellent. The image was extremely sharp and clear. Of course, I understand that adding 3DoF involves technical trade-offs, so I don't expect the image quality to be exactly the same.
Now I'd like to talk about the two biggest issues that ultimately made me decide to return these glasses.
1. The mura/moiré effect and color inconsistency are quite noticeable.
This is especially obvious when I'm working in Excel. On the same row of black text, different parts of the text can appear in different colors. For example, the first half of a word may appear black, while the second half looks slightly yellow, or there may be a yellow halo around the letters. This makes reading spreadsheets much less comfortable than it should be.
2. The biggest issue for me is using AutoCAD.
When working in AutoCAD, some lines change to gray as I move or pan the drawing on the virtual screen. As shown in the image I uploaded, horizontal and vertical lines display differently depending on their position on the screen. The same line may appear in its correct color in one area but turn gray in another.
For CAD work, where accurate line colors and visibility are essential, this is a deal breaker. It makes it impossible for me to work efficiently with these glasses.
It's really unfortunate because I genuinely like almost everything else about this product. The features, the overall experience, and the concept are all great.
Unfortunately, these display issues make it impossible for me to use the glasses for the purpose I bought them for, so I have no choice but to return them.
I'm genuinely disappointed because I really wanted these glasses to become part of my daily workflow. I sincerely hope these issues can be improved in future versions. If they are, I would absolutely buy them again, because I truly believe this product has incredible potential.
