Q: Are smart glasses good for gaming?

Compatibility comes first

The source device must output video in a format the glasses can accept. XREAL, for example, requires USB-C DisplayPort output for direct connection on supported devices.

Refresh rate matters

120 Hz support can make gaming smoother, but the source device, cable, adapter and game must all support the desired output mode.

What to compare for gaming
