Smart glasses have long promised to merge digital convenience with everyday life, but most past attempts fell short. With the arrival of the Meta Ray-Ban Display glasses, that vision feels closer than ever. These $799 glasses combine classic Ray-Ban style with a built-in display that shows directions, messages, photos, and even translations—all without pulling out your phone. In this review, we explore what makes the Meta Ray-Ban Display a major step forward in wearable tech.
At first glance, the Meta Ray-Ban Display looks like a slightly chunky pair of regular sunglasses. Slip them on, and with a quick finger gesture, a display appears in your right lens. This isn’t full augmented reality—it’s more like an on-demand screen that floats in your view. The glasses are lightweight enough for daily wear and come with transition lenses that adjust to ambient light, making them practical both indoors and outdoors.
The display offers a 600-by-600-pixel resolution, a 20-degree field of view, and a brightness of up to 5,000 nits. Despite the high brightness, light leakage is minimal, so people nearby won’t notice what you’re viewing. With apps like maps, messages, and photo previews, the glasses serve as a quick-access extension of your smartphone. The display only appears in one lens, which takes some adjustment, but it doesn’t block your vision.
What sets these glasses apart is how natural they feel in everyday use. Instead of pulling out a phone to check directions or notifications, everything appears instantly within sight. While not a replacement for your smartphone, the Meta Ray-Ban Display offers convenience that other wearables can’t match. For smart glasses skeptics, this is the closest experience yet to the futuristic vision promised more than a decade ago.
