Welcome to the GUNNAR-Overclock Test Program  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
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

Questions for Review: GUNNAR Advanced Gaming Eyewear

1. Initial Round of Feedback
a. What were your initial thoughts (Before Using the Glasses)
My initial thoughts about GUNNAR Optiks eyewear when I first heard about them in 2009, I quickly thought these were the next silly peripherals that people would wear much like "gaming gloves." Around mid 2011 there has been constant talk about Gunnar Optiks in the MLG and Professional CS scene. This is when I started digging deeper and looking into reviews, but seeing as how many of these professionals were sponsored by GUNNAR Optiks I was still skeptical about the product and the features it provides especially claims like sharpening details and minimizing eye fatigue.

b. What were your thoughts after your First Use?
My initial sounds even before wearing the GUNNAR Optiks are that the frames are constructed very sturdy. Once wearing the GUNNAR Optiks I immediately noticed the screen was more crisp and my eyes were not having aches which I would normally have when wearing contacts!

2. Review Round of Feedback
a. What were the key benefits you noticed when using GUNNARS while gaming and viewing the computer?
While gaming Counter Strike Global Offensive as that is the current title I have been focusing my gaming in has been a night and day difference. Anyone who has played the current state of CS:GO knows that enemies are difficult to see due to low contrast atmosphere of the game. I could finally distinguish players from the background with no issues. While at work, school, and at home I noticed that my were no longer stressed out from the computer screen.

b. What were the pros & cons about wearing GUNNARS?
Pros: GUNNARS offers me a over all edge in gaming, and allow my everyday computer usage a better experience. My eyes normally dried out, irritated, and stressed when wearing contacts. This is no longer the case when using GUNNARS.
Cons: No complaints at all personally.

c. How often have you been using GUNNARS since your last feedback?
I have been wearing GUNNARS for close to fourteen hours every day for the last nine days.

d. What was the #1 thing you liked about wearing GUNNARS?
I'm gonna have to say it again, but my #1 favorite thing about GUNNARS is the fact that my eyes are no longer stressed, dried out, and irritated. I just can't get over the fact that GUNNARS allow me to game, and work without torturing my eyes.

3. Recommendations?
a. What is your overall recommendation after using the product?
I recommend GUNNARS to anyone who are having any of the issues I had before I started using GUNNARS, and also for anyone who has difficulty identifying enemies in video games.

b. Final closing thoughts on GUNNAR?
Will definitely be recommending these to my friends who game, and use the computer. A lot of us always had doubts about these, but my doubts have been completely disappeared after using them!
