I have the Cybermaxx HMD.  It's the one you want.  It's the most like a
traditional "VR" HMD and it's the least expensive as well! 

All the current <$1000 HMD's use the exact same display LCDs and therefore
have the same resolution.  Cybermaxx's selling points for gamers are it's
wide field of view (i-glasses look like the image is floating in front of
your eyes and don't wrap around much at all), it's depixellization filter
that improves on the apparent resolution, and it's quite light.  In fact,
despite VIO's i-glasses' hype, Cybermaxx weighs the SAME.  (VIO always
lists the weight of the i-glasses WITHOUT the head tracking that gamers
need)
