I got some video goggles about 10 years ago. The picture on the box? A guy wearing cool shades.
Me? It felt like 10 pounds strapped to my face in such a way I had to look straight up to sort of see a blurry, blocky video through a screen door. This had to be plugged into a DVD player or a VHS player (yes, really) with three separate cords, but still also ate four AAs more than once an hour, and had built in earbuds in exactly the wrong size.
Also, there was a separate cord to a remote control that managed to get tangled up very easily despite being too short to fit in a pocket while the goggles were on your head, so I just kinda looped it over my shoulders.
Claimed to have a 3D mode. Never found it.
300$ well spent.

Sounds like RCA inputs? Not sure what’s so cumbersome about that. It was an improvement over the TV antenna method.
Everything else though, yeah, fuck that thing.
