They can certainly work for that, they are quite clear and sharp, but sometimes you can get a sample with a soft spot on the lens, in that case return and try again is my only suggestion. I bought only 1 of these from the eBay link I sent last year when they were slightly cheaper and got a perfect sample on the first try.

I actually used them like this when I was stuck in bed after a back surgery for a couple weeks, plugged into my laptop.

They do make a newer model now that is actually fairly stripped down in terms of functionality but is supposed to have the best clarity, the VITURE Pro 2 XR, and new they are only $300, and you can get a 10% off coupon for their site, so they are $270 new which isn't bad at all.

Many companies are making these glasses (Xreal, Viture RayNeo, Rokid, etc). They are all fundamentally the same thing. Same micro OLED panels and similar optical design. But they keep adding more features like better head tracking, better built in audio (I just use my AirPods Pro 2), built in cameras, more on-board processing for 3D stuff, that just makes the price go higher, so it's nice to see they still make a new pair with stripped down features for those of us who just want a basic display and for fairly cheap still.

I think you just need to try it to see for yourself if it works for your use case. The return policy is really good.

Is this something that you would use in coffee shop and exchange for an external computer monitor? I have been really on the fence about investing in something like this

I think yes. But I think it would be a really individual decision based on a few factors. I say at $150 and an easy return why not try since you have been on the fence?

I have the same question, but change “coffee shop” to tiny apartment (with only one desk and 2 people with remote jobs). Taking this with me for work-cations seems like it could be fun but it would have to support cross-platform (osx) and there would have to be strong signals that it’s not a pair of “pervert glasses” if I’m to use them in a public setting.

They just show up as a DP over USB-C monitor, so they work natively in any OS or phone etc. I don't really think you would have any problem with them in a public setting.
