Vision Buddy streams the image in real-time from your TV directly into the headset and maintains the HD resolution.

The results are excellent. Other products use a camera for TV viewing, resulting in inferior image quality. Even with the latest TV, using a camera to view a TV screen results in significant image loss, color loss, and blur.
