RayNeo GT Max plugs into a phone, laptop or handheld console over USB-C and shows a virtual screen up to 307 inches across a 59-degree view. Its 0.6-inch Micro-OLED panels run at 120Hz in 2D and reach up to 1,200 nits, the four speakers are tuned with Bang & Olufsen, and the glasses weigh 78g. It comes in three IPD sizes.
RayNeo's GT Max trades birdbath optics for a prism, and a wider view
RayNeo's $399 GT Max is heavier than the cheaper Viture Pro 2 but felt more comfortable in a first hands-on, because its prism optics keep the weight off your nose and widen the view to 59 degrees.
As a light, comfortable screen for movies and handheld games, the GT Max is easy to enjoy and the wide view makes a real difference. Just confirm your phone sends video over USB-C before you buy.
