SCAM! You can get the same effects by dropping acid.

bah...
not interactive
haha

HD vision makes the world come alive!

so is everything dead? is this like the matrix..am i being cheated?

seriously, these *crap-o-mercials* make me wanna kick all the actors and the narrator in the balls!

on the other hand, the expression on the dudes face is hilarious!

As the saying goes: There's a sucker born every minute.

HD is meant to be as close to real life as possible, and that happens with 20/20 vision or with your clean prescribed glasses. Funny people.

ROFL, I just can't wait untill I can BREATHE in high def!!!

....I get a FREE VISOR CLIP???

Me want! Me want!

The things people would rather have than money.

i didnt even see that bus without the glasses! wow!

"EURO-STYLE" ?
is European considered exotic and awesome enough on your side of the pond to sell just about anything?

i've noticed alot of this kind of thing popping up lately, i remember a couple months ago i started seeing commercials for 'HD' faux-marble countertops.

So, I'm confused. Is this 720p, 1080i, or 1080p, and will I need to get a new life to notice the difference?

So what resolution is life again ?

Hehehe; we've had a similar ad for a while from New Look glasses here.

The most ridiculous ad for HDTVs I've seen actually tried to "show" how good a HDTV looks like...

I don't think I need to point out what the issue here is.

And if I AM able to see the difference, it can only be because I have an even better TV, so what's the point?

I want the $100 sunglasses that can turn the world black & white.

@sp00nix: those glasses are whats prevents that bus from stomping all over your ass dude!

FCC compliant.

You guys better buy this now, because by the next couple years your standard def vision will be permanently shut down.

AMAZING! I want a pair of these. *Grabs a pair*

*1 month l8r on second advert*

Hey my names Ryan and before HD Vision glasses I was living life in standard vision. Living in HD has changed my life I've lost 28 pounds in 2 weeks and I can wear pants from my childhood. I have HD Vision to thank!
Thanks HD Vision you saved my life!

Aren't these basically the same "Blue Blockers" sunglasses that were advertised in TV in the same manner 10-15 years ago?

Where's the BluBlocker guy rapping about them?

Aren't these just polarized lenses?

i bought these 2 months ago....

and reading gizmodo has been SOOO MUCH BETTER because i get to read it in HIGH DEFINITION!!!!!!!!

People really believe this crap. I'm former optical industry employee and lived through various craptastic marketing campaigns like this. When Blue Blocker lenses came out, every idiot in the world wanted them. Then there are the people who think that stuff (can't remember the name) they wipe on their lenses can get RID of scratches (bullshi*). Then there was some stupid golf glasses. My god, golfers are the worst. They'll buy a can of dog shit if they thought huffing it would make there drive a little longer!

I'd say sex in HD would be great, but then it'd feel so go good I'd only last 15 seconds rather than 20...oh...dang...this is on the internet, isn't it?

@ redwraithvienna
This will address your question about the resolution of life.

Also, my favorite part of the commercial was when the "glare rays" were bouncing off the bikini-chick's glasses: I was like "pew pew pew!"

hehe, "Euro Design"

Let's assume they're legit and actually do provide "HD-vision." They look like shit.

wait wait wait, @92BuickLeSabre:
If they are real I want a pair, no, I want 2 pairs. I'm not even joking, certain colors make me feel like I'm going to puke, which probably has something to do with my sudden development of floaters and snow vision in my one eye (looks kinda like TV static).

Wait, you mean this isn't legit?
Dammit, I just ordered 15 pairs for me and all of my friends and family.

God I love infomercials. This is right up there with the "perfect pasta" and "the chopper" (both of which my mother in law ordered and, as expected, sucked)

People looked all tiny and blurry, just like the inside of a cataract. Then I got my HD glasses.

@IndigoFerret: HD DVD's lost the format war to BluRay. BlueBlockers lost the format war to HDVision glasses.

Beware!
Dangerous Glare Rays!

@Mitch: Wait, I can't pour boiling water into a plastic vessel and have it retain all it's heat? Damn laws of Thermodynamics!!

@xint: You get two pairs of glasses, but only one patented "HD" visor clip.

lol@ "Revolutionary Glare Block Technology". Blocking glare is the whole POINT of sunglasses.

aahh...what's the number?? If I order now, I get a second pair free!!!.....and the visor holder.....

It's like that New Looks optometrist around here that sells "HD glasses"

What the bloody F is HD glasses?! do you have better eye resolution now?

@mumin: I was wondering that myself.

I wonder if they advertise "Euro design" or "American design" in Europe.

@mumin: Yes, anything euro-style is a must have un the states. We tried to hold back on gasoline prices but just couldn't help ourselves. Now we're happy with our hi-def euro-style gas prices. Europeans are the style-gurus for everything!

Polarized sunglasses are HD now??? I've been wearing HD sunglasses for years!!!!

So... you're telling me I can just watch standard def TV while wearing these nifty HD glasses... bam! You saved me like, 2 grand, infomercial!

I'm waiting on the 4K deep color bit versions. They should be out next year. Also the current HD glasses only come with lossy audio and the 4K's will be standard with TrueHD.

Hell, I just wanted to see that chick and her 1989 hot pink bikini in HD.

We used to just call them blue blockers. We had no idea how far ahead of our time we truly were.

The human eye can can resolve something like 560 megapixels of image data. Though interestingly enough, our brains interpret this such that it's somewhat hard for us to tell the difference between 150dpi and 300dpi when printed out. So really, what's the point of our eyes being able to take in so much image data? My guess is redundancy.

Also, I have an idea for glasses - call them SD glasses. Basically, they're two opaque lenses with a small square cut out in the center. Now you can see what it's like to view the world as a standard CRT! ...or something.

I just took a shit in HD :|

We wear shades to see our surroundings in dim not-so-defined-view.

@TheCyberBob: LMAO! True
There's no way that you could get HD picture through glasses. You'd need to have needles going into your eyes or your brain amplifying your vision.
This is so stupid i didnt even finish watching it because even though those $100 sunglasses let light in they look way better and i dont pay $100 for sunglasses i go into the 300's and 400's
but maybe the new yorker lifestyle has molded me to think like that lolx.

@ripfire4: Can I get a government coupon to convert my vision if I don't want to upgrade?

Haha through that whole commercial all I could think of was David Caruso in CSI because of the oversaturated colors...

"Well, Frank ::puts glasses on:: it looks like someone else can see the brighter side of life now."

I'll wait for the Blu-Ray Blue Blockers

How does HD TV look if you're watching it at the same time that you're wearing these?

@mumin: *sigh* Yes. All the idiots over here think Europe is the root of all fashion and whatever someone is doing in Europe is automatically what everybody is doing in America.

Which it is because everybody believes that too.

Freaking morons.

@xint:

A free HD visor clip at that!

So, if I want to get true hi-def do I have to wear these when I watch my TV?

This is awesome!!!! If I get a pair of these then my old 19" Sharp tv in my bedroom will look like a state of the art plasma display!!!

Its called a polarized lense. god damnit!!

I used to buy Oakley's polarized lenses, but after my 3rd pair destroyed in 6 years (at $ 200 a pop), I just buy wal-mart polarized lenses...and only 2 pairs broken in 2 years, but at 14.99, I don't give a damn, hehe

@IndigoFerret:
Yes! Blue Blockers dejavú !

those dangerous glare rays! My polarized sun glasses are no match for these HDVision sun glasses!

This is as bad as this
