Quick info: The VRStandard VRJoy2000 is a wired 3D-shutterglasses systems. The controller doesn't seem to have changed much compared to the classic VRJoy which isn't a backdraw at all. The autosync-capability and full-manual control gives the system compatibility to most game drivers. The line-blanker allows viewing of line-sequential (interlace) 3D-images and animations on any VGA-board under any operating system. The glasses have improved from the classic VRJoy. They're now lighter and allow several adjustments.

The only thing missing is a sync-doubler device which is required for above-below-split-screen format 3D-software. If you're mainly interested in 3D-images and the latest full-res game drivers you won't miss it much.

The glasses with the visor removed. They have a rather thin cable with standard 3.5 mm stereo jack. The temples and the eye <-> glasses distance can be adjusted.

The removable visor makes the system look cooler and may boost sales, which is nice for the distributor. The optical quality is very bad though. It distorts everything you see. This isn't a problem at all - just remove the thing.
In theory the dark color helps fight perceivable flicker, but it's a far better choice to raise the refresh rate instead.
