Welcome to the GUNNAR-Overclock Test Program

Dear OCN user,
Thank you for entering the Official GUNNAR-Overclock Test Program, and CONGRATULATIONS! You have been selected as 1 of the winners of the GUNNAR sweepstakes.

The GUNNAR-Overclock "Beta-Test" Program is designed to be a community testing program run by the OCN community for the OCN community. The testing program is intended to educate and provide unbiased feedback from the OCN community regarding the performance and benefits of GUNNAR computer and gaming eyewear.

You have been selected to test GUNNARS for the next 7-10 days and completely integrate them into your digital activities. Whether you are working on your computer, browsing the web, playing video games, or using them at work.

Our goal with this testing program is to provide the community information in the following three areas:

1) First Impressions of the impact of using GUNNARs (after the first 1-2 days)

2) Formal review after testing GUNNARS over a week period in all different environments and experiences

3) Recommendations based on your experience touching on what you liked, what you didn’t like, and whether you would recommend them to other OCN members.

We hope that you will enjoy the GUNNAR experience, and if you have any questions we will be here to help you along on your journey.

Remember -- GUNNARS are designed to be worn in front of digital screens only, so we recommend testing the glasses only when you are interacting with digital screens.

Enjoy!!
-The GUNNAR Team

Hey guys, figured I'd give you my first impressions of the Gunnars.

First and foremost, the build quality is top notch. I was sent the Paralex Z frames with the Lime Green accent and they were stunning right out of the package. I have a smallish framed face, so these fit my eyes, face and head rather nicely. My only initial gripe is just behind my ears, I get a little bit of unwanted pressure where the arms contact my head, but other than this, they fit unbelievably well and are extremely light and comfortable compared to other glasses I've worn in the past.

Once I put them on, slapped on my headset and sat down at my computer desk for some Trackmania training, the first thing I noticed was their amazing ability to create depth even in 2D images. It's an ever so slight 3D effect that helps differentiate either close or far objects in game. Lights and Darks are further contrasted with these glasses compared to normal screen viewing. Taking them off and putting them back on, I also noticed an ever so slight magnification that helped bring text and other onscreen objects a bit closer which I can imagine will reduce eyestrain over the long haul training sessions I've been known for (2-4 hours at a time). I currently game on only a 21.5" 1080P screen, so even when I sit close, I'm still at least 2 feet away, so this slight magnification really helps.

After a couple hours, I simply forgot that they were on my head which was a pleasant surprise as I've never been much of a fan of glasses, simply because I've never found a pair that fit my head correctly. The first day with these has been a transparent experience. thumb.gif

I will keep you informed on how I get on with the rest of the testing. I've currently got a BenQ 120hz panel on order, so I cannot wait to give these a test with the new screen.

Thanks again for the opportunity to provide feedback.
