 I use the new glasstron PL700 which are 800x600 and very very crips, but the
older PM55 (aka PL100 I think) were approximately  320x240 (800x240 triads I
think) and not as crips for text as the M1.  Both are, however, bi-ocular.
Even in see-through mode I would not walk around too much with the PL700
(but they are ok for wearable while riding or siting... but then so is a
laptop :-)

I looked at removing an eye on the 700 and its not going to be easy (and I
want to keep them functioning in bi-ocular mode for other projects). I have a
student looking into  a prism arrangement to make it monocular were the
prism bounces the view while the glasses are in their  "up". position
