The Legion Glasses essentially replicate the experience of a large screen hidden behind a pair of lenses, and despite the Legion branding, they aren’t targeted at hardcore gamers. The pitfall here is that the screen refresh rate is locked to 60Hz. Lenovo appears to have made a conscious choice here, as the Legion Go itself won’t be able to crack past the 60fps mark while playing the current wave of demanding AAA titles.

Another consideration here is that the Legion Glasses are also targeted at content consumption. You don’t really need a 90Hz or a higher refresh rate screen to enjoy a movie on Netflix or a YouTube video — 60fps videos are plenty smooth, and anything above it just seems overkill. However, if you had dreams of plugging in the glasses with a high-end gaming PC, 60fps is where you hit the peak.

Lenovo is banking more on the plug-and-play appeal of the Legion Glasses as a “portable, private, large screen viewing experience” and not necessarily shattering any visual quality or performance benchmarks. To ensure maximum comfort for everyone, Lenovo has left the doors open for prescription lens inserts. The box comes with a prescription lens frame, carrying case, adjustable nose pads, cleaning cloth, and an anti-slip adapter. As for the hit on buyers’ wallets, the Legion Glasses will be up for grabs at $329 and arrive in October.
