I've used nearly every major pair of smart glasses over the past few years and can confidently say that 2024 is the best year yet to buy a pair. In fact, my favorite pair of smart display glasses, Viture One, is on sale for $299 at Amazon this year, making them $140 off the regular price.

And those aren't the only smart glasses on sale this year, either! Brands like Xreal, Rayneo, and Viture have all discounted their glasses so you can buy the best smart glasses without breaking your budget (or your neck).

You've probably seen those ads where a pair of glasses can give you a 200-inch "TV" when you plug them into any device, right? Smart display glasses are some of the coolest pieces of tech in the modern age, and they can seriously save your neck from looking down while playing games or using a laptop.

Viture makes my favorite smart glasses for several reasons, but the biggest one is that the company doesn't use PWM dimming at high brightness. I'm PWM sensitive which means flickering lights give me headaches and can make me nauseous. Unfortunately, for me, that means the OLED displays in many smart glasses make me feel awful.

Thankfully, Viture has considered this and ensured that their glasses work differently from most others, making them my go-to recommendation for anyone looking to get into the smart glasses game. They also have built-in myopia adjustment wheels so folks with myopia can adjust the lenses up to -5.0D.

As you might expect, smart display glasses act just like a monitor strapped to your face. They're substantially smaller than a VR headset, making them easier to take on flights. I've worked many hours from the comfort of my glasses, typically reclining in a comfortable chair instead of hunched over a keyboard.

Gamers should consider picking up a Viture One Dock, on sale for $89 on Prime Day. This dock doubles as a massive 13,000mAh battery for any gaming console so you can play and charge at the same time. It works perfectly for the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck, giving you a big comfy display on the go instead of craning your neck down at your handheld!

Viture also makes a piece of software called SpaceWalker that adds AR capabilities to your glasses with a compatible phone or computer. SpaceWalker for Windows was just released, and SpaceWalker for Android works with many of the best Android phones.

You can also get SpaceWalker on iOS or Mac, meaning your Viture glasses will work with AR capabilities on nearly every device you own.

The only way it gets any easier is by picking up a pair of Xreal Air glasses and the new Xreal Beam Pro. Beam Pro looks a lot like a phone but doesn't include a SIM card, so its designed to be a dedicated AR device that instantly turns your Xreal Air glasses into AR wonders.

Sometimes, it's just nice to have a device dedicated to a specific function and, since the glasses are just $197 for Prime Day, you can get an Apple Visio Pro-like AR experience for under $400 when you pair Xreal Beam Pro with Xreal Air glasses.
