Review to combat misleading star ratingOctober 9, 2008 I am rating this product a 1 star because the manufacturer rated it a 5 star in their reply to a poor review from an unhappy customer. Their rating improperly boosted their star rating on Amazon.com which is unfair to customers.

Dissapointing qualityMarch 6, 2008 10 out of 10 found this review helpful
Did you ever look through a pair of toy plastic binoculars? Everything is distorted and blurry because the lenses are cast clear plastic instead of ground glass. The prisms on these are like that. The left prism on my pair is worse than the right. Also the vertical field of view is too narrow. The prism surface you are looking into is about 15 mm high versus 30 mm wide, and because the edges are distorted, you can't see the entire height of a TV screen from 10 feet away without panning your head up and down. Of the 3 prism glasses on Amazon, I bought these thinking they would be the best quality because they were the most expensive. Oops.
