Can’t help feeling that this one is best left until they do a second version that runs with a more up to date display port, reducing glare, increasing FOV, and generally smooth out the edges on the production of the device.
if you want to wait a few years sure:)
Does the updated displayport make any difference? It obviously handles the data being transmitted and increasing the FOV would require completely new hardware. Seems like a strawman upgrade.
The biggest selling point is weight/size at this point.
@@MrProthallyes actually.
They can't do full resolution at 90Hz and need to upscale it instead.
Same is true for basically any other headset with that resolution.
A new DP version would fix that.
@@anonym3017 Nvidia and amd would have to support it, though. Also, the display controller would still bottleneck it. Displayport isn't the only bottleneck.
I just came here to say that this thumbnail is awesome! :D
😂
Dan is a casual TH-camr that only clicks on videos that have pretty thumbnails
Hopefully this will be the new standard in terms of size, weight and lenses and the cost will come down over the next few years. Would LOVE to have one of these and nearly went for it but decided on a 4090 instead and a quest 3 (btw loving the mixed reality on that headset, a real nice surprise that was - in terms of fun).
Not had the opportunity to give VR a try, but it does definitly look easier to work with than what Ive seen with other headsets. Still nice to see more companies making an effort with VR headsets
Vr is definitely come a long way, this actually lools amazing
hey will. have you noticed some differences in terms of shaking at motion rig usage ? the Bigscreen is so light, the pimax so heavy.
even my reverb g2 is bouncing so hard on my rig. like the head shaking at formula 1 helmets.
thank you
May I ask you this ? I noticed Quest 3, Pico 4 using pancake lenses have a bonus of mura layer in light environment. Bigscreen beyond used pancake lenses too, so has he a mura layer same Quest 3 and Pico 4 ?
Would you really recommend this over the Varjo Aero as they are now priced the same?
Thank you for reviewing this. Headphones really hurt my neck and I've been on the fence about VR because of the weight. With this form factor I may just purchase one of these and use in ear headphones. Thanks a bunch!
can you use it without base stations and use 3 degrees of freedom instead of 6? i wanna play sim racing so ill be sitting and only moving my head around and not my whole body
Is it possible to set it up and use without getting any controllers?
hi, do you plan to review the quest 3?
Hi Will, thanks for the update on these. I’ve been considering VR for a while now (currently on 32’ triples) and tried out a mates HP Reverb G2 (first time VR experience). What would I expect from the Beyond compared to the G2?
Better, lighter. G2 is old now. If your going old, index is still the king. But this gives it a run for the $$.
What car do I see in the background there? Replaced the M2?
I see the sim magic P1000 pedals with the haptic motors in the background, can’t wait for that review 👀
Hey will , I just got a quest 2 and it’s ripping out my hair does the big screen beyond so that
Hello, do need the SteamVR Base Stations for the bigscreen to work on DCS world? Thanks
when do you review the sim forge pedals?
How would this one compare in image quality do the likes of Meta Quest 2?
congrats on the Emira! beautiful car
I definitely want to get my hands on one of these
Can you return Big-screen beyond if you don't like it or it is not possible due it is custom order?
worriesome if you have to adjust it while playing sitting down in a sim. Wonder how bad it is if you play shooters or something more physical.
Thanks for this informative content. Maybe I missed it, but does this require external bay stations or is it stand-alone except for the wire and the PC? Cheers.
Requires lighthouses.
Lighthouses? Would you get away with one?
@@scottkostric8379 you could do but it's recommended you get two for more precise tracking
Another great video Will. I do have a question and maybe this is something you can discuss. I have a setup very similar to yours. Difference is my triples are 3 4k LG C1’s not monitors. I find that VR won’t work with all three screens plugged in. I have to switch off nvidia surround and unplug the tvs. Using a 4090. Any thoughts?
Btw my PiMax Crystal is a brick 🤦🏻
Nvidia imposes a limit of 4 monitors allowed at once on their gpu. I’m boot sure why you’re getting it with 3. Maybe surround is taking the 3 and making the combo the “4th”. Therefore preventing VR from working. I have to disable my top monitor to use my vr
Aaaah! Great point. I’ll try that. I wonder if it’s setting the PiMax as two monitors?
Refresh rate?
Have you tried other Pancake based lens VR headsets? I'd like to know if the glare is similar or worse in the Bigscreen Beyond headset. I've only tried the Quest 3 and it looks amazing and has pretty much zero god rays anymore compared to Fresnel lens but it does have some glare which people say is a trade off with Pancake lens, but I'd take this glare over the god rays of previous headsets.
Credit where credit is due, Meta currently has the best pancake lenses out in terms of edge to edge clarity and glare. The BSB lenses are not at that level.
As a person coming from FPV gear view, it really seems the manufacturers should look more into how FPV goggles are designed. They really seem to be ahead in goggle design
To adres the internal reflection, you could consider using an ultra deep black paint. Should fix the problem, though for that price it should have been there anyway.
the internal reflection is actually an optical property of the lens type chosen for this headset
Is that an Emira in the background?? Nice.
not sure i agree with displayport bandwidth being not enough with dsc its probably more of a display limitation not to mention there are higher resolution headsets that work fine over 1.4.
DSC (Display Stream Compression) is the main reason that Varjo doesn't work with AMD.
That said, Pimax has also worked with nVidia on out-of-spec bandwidth in addition to DSC, but those framerates aren't strictly guaranteed by every GPU (basically not working on a 3090ti and your mileage varying even with two identical models as it's more hit & miss overclocking than a guarantee).
I'm personally on the fence. I don't think manufacturers should be banned from trying to solve the problem themselves, but every manufacturer for themselves is objectively worse than standardisation catching up.
You are correct. The displayport bandwidth has nothing at all to do with the lower resolution at 90hz.
One thing that I never see people talk about is what additional equipment is needed for these to work properly. I know you have to purchase the controllers separately but what else needs to be purchased separately?
I believe you need 2 base stations and controllers.
Idk why but when I try my Bluetooth headphones the fiber optic cable causes interference with Bluetooth =( idk what to do
More importantly, when did you get a Lotis Emira?
bro i been waiting for this one ! i hope you try this with ACC
Always wondered how VR can be used if you use lenses for astigmatism…?
Hi Will. How about sweat/fog within the fully enclosed headset during long race sessions?
Can't speak about this headset but I do race with a Quest 2 and at least in that headset it does not get foggy for me
I haven’t had a problem with it. But I haven’t had a problem with this on any headset.
I do get foggy in my Q2, but this headset looks to enclose far less of your face, so probably not an issue.
@@billbaggins1688 yeah me too in the reverb g2. But I believe it's due to the moisture within the face seal. So maybe the beyond is better because its not the same material
FPV Goggles have had fans for years now. Weird how it's not a thing with most VR headsets. Could learn a lot from FPV.
Will and friends, love your stuff. Sorry if it’s been asked already, but I figured any traffic is good traffic: is the emira your personal car?
Boosted Media owns it :)
This is what I came to the comments section for. Congrats! Beautiful!
So close to what I want in a VR headset.
Yet so far
I hope in the future all PC VR headsets are gonna have that form factor, or even smaller. No need for giant heavy headsets anymore!
nonchalant Ferrari just chilling in the background.
Considered this but when I added on the cost of a base station, controllers and audio strap I went for the Pimax Crystal instead for my sim racing. Each to their own.
I went with pimax only because its not native resolution at90Hz.
VR is improving. Great.
But omg triples are just so easier to use. No issues, awesome performance, comfortable 100% of the time, no annoying cable behind your head, and you can easily be with other people around you watching you race.
It’s true, but it’s still 2D vs 3D, I do sacrifice image quality but for me it’s a more fun experience, either way 3 screens or VR the important thing is the user is comfortable with the set up.
You mention it's your go to headset but could you please elaborate further on BSS vs Aero? In the aero review you said it was very comfortable so why would you still take the BSB? Considering the drawbacks on resolution, foveated rendering, etc.. I've been searching for an answer to this everywhere online with no luck so would really appreciate your input 😄
Simply down to the reduced weight and size. The aero is very comfortable for what it is, but smaller and lighter ultimately wins this game of compromises for me at least.
@@boostedmedia Thanks! Placed an order for the BSB with your link :)
The only reason I went with Pimax for sim racing because native resolution does not support 90Hz @@boostedmedia
Ok enough of the reviews. I am ready for mine to arrive! Ordered day 1 in OZ
Looks awesome but at $999 USD/$1499 CAD.... That's a big price tag for such a small package. (Prices I found on their website)
In the video, it looks like the refresh rate while playing in VR drops at times, does it?
They could bump up resolution by means of image compression implemented in hardware for low(er) latency. 75Hz is not good enough.
On my Valve Index, 120Hz is so much better than 90Hz, let alone compared to lower resolutions.
Also, non-adjustable IPD is a no-go for me. I'll wait for the Index 2 or any othe newer model that significantly improves upon the Valve Index experience.
Last but not least, the prescription lenses can cause additional reflections unless they have special coating layers. Try without the prescription lenses and compare to see whether there's a difference in terms of reflections. If there is an observable difference, it can be potentially fixed with better quality lenses.
Downsampling to 1920 x 1920 sounds a bit silly to me. I don’t understand why they can’t use Display Stream Compression (DSC) to overcome the bandwidth limit on DP 1.4, you can get 120 hz on 2880 x 2880 per eye on the Pimax crystal and that HMD only uses DP 1.4 .
They do use DSC, but the display controller has a bandwidth limit of 8gbps due to it being early days for micro OLED. So they have to both use DSC and upscale.
Or 422 and 420 compression options.
@@SlyNine It doesn't use that type of compression. It's DSC, which is far higher bandwidth than either of those, and is visually unnoticeable.
@@RidgeXR_2 , I did some research and one VR manufacturer representetive speculated that Big Screen Beyond (BSB) was upscaling because there was a bandwidth limitation when using steamvr as a runtime software. If BSB wanted to work around it they’d need to develop their own runtime software which can turn into a buggy mess like Pimax’s software.
@@Alm8hoorOW That's not true. The real reason is the simple fact that there isn't really a display controller out there capable of carrying the bandwidth required for 2560@90 for mOLED. So in order to meet the minimum bandwidth requirement, they downscale to 1920 then upscale on the headset, which works pretty well.
The price of this headset is $200 more than i paid for my Quest 3, wheel, pedals, shifter and racing chair lol
This looks cool for being lightweight, but I've wanted more FOV -- both horizontal and vertical, which everyone forgets about -- since I got my Vive, and instead FOV has reduced on almost all newer headsets since then (I think there are literally about two exceptions, and they didn't increase it much and have other drawbacks; I'm still using the Vive as a result). It's very strange. I can understand it requires more pixels (or spreading out the pixels you have even more) but GPUs are a lot faster than they were when the Vive came out and they still haven't gone in that direction, despite seriously needing to IMO.
Because most people want a clearer sharper image even if they don't know it. Eventually once all the headsets hit a high resolution, sharp, clear image then I think manufacturers will focus more on fov.
hi will! can you do a review and compare the differences between the new p1x pro and the p1x. could you also do a comparison between the dbox g5 and the qubic systems qs 220? Thanks!
I would have preferred to see the top strap go from front-to-back rather than side-to-side, because it would be less likely to interfere with headphones.
right now.... this or the pixmax crystal ? have to choose 1
I prefer this to the crystal.
Quest 3 review please
I love the idea of this but I feel like I’ll always prefer the bulkier and more adjustable one-size-fits-most headsets because I enjoy sharing it with other people.
The Index has truly been phenomenal for that. It’s getting long in the tooth but it’s still amazing.
i just hate how insanely sluggish i feel after a vr session and how heavy the index is.
never tried the index before, only the ps5vr2 so far but i have to say: seeing through the lense videos of the index: the massive amount of screendoor effect is an absolute nogo. it makes me feel like iam looking at a cellphone display from 2004. compared to what iam used to over the last 15 years of display tech and pc gaming, seeing sde feels like 10 steps backwards. sure, 3d vr is cool, but theres nothing more immersion breaking for me then a constant grid formed reminder, that its just a display iam looking at
I’m still interested in the Quest 3
I love mine. I prefer OLED black levels, but for the price and all other capabilities, it really is quite an HMD.
I used Q2 for sim racing but Q3 is a huge improvement. Road texture is real crisp and detailed which lends itself to a greater sense of speed. It’s a total no brainer for the price.
@@garytebbenham6843 agreed. And the lack of needing to lignin up with a fresnel sweet spot is a major crucial difference.
How does this work for glasses wearers? I guess you have to wear contacts?
They have an option for prescription lens inserts
Will Ford, So, when are you going to host another Fan Race? I really enjoyed the hell out of it. I don't know if you if you are aware of just how larger than life you've become. Hosting that race elivated you to a hole new level. It was great fun racing with one of my Sim Racing Icons.
Maybe one day. Maybe one day.
Now if only GPU’s could run iRacing or ACC at a constant 100+ FPS… My shit dips from 150 to 60fps depending on what part of the track I’m at. And I’m on a 6950xt
The Vision Pro needs to come down to this size before I’ll consider one.
1k for this is pretty rough. Especially since no one else can use it. Once I set this up immediately other people will want to try it. Waiting for Valve on the Deckard.
They sent me shipping details this week! 🥳 Can't wait to get it
preordered when? i ordered yeaterday
@@moncimoov March 23rd
Since I would be using this for almost entirely in VRC, 75hz would be just fine.
I really want this headset but I want to hear that they plan on producing a wireless adapter, wireless is the biggest game changer in VR
Will either need a proprietary standard or Wifi 7 with an 8x8 antenna to make that work properly with wireless.
Clicked on the video just to comment how much it grinds my gears when somebody calls an HMD a "VR"
You're probably reaction farming, so...well played, and all the best to you. 😅
I wanted to buy this headset for the longest but no audio solution means I'm going to have something else on my head and I hate wearing gaming headsets over my ears but I endure it for online gaming, but here I'm gonna have the VR headset and headphones which is will be worse. Still don't know what the BSB audio solution will be like since it's not being reviewed yet. I've gotten really used to 120hz on all my displays. My phone, my TV and of course my monitor, all 120hz or higher. 90hz is a little compromise but definitely fine, 75hz feels like going back to Quest 1. So many compromises with this headset. I hope they make an updated model with build in audio and maybe 120hz, I'll preorder easily.
You can get the audio strap around December - January if their predictions hold
As long I can get customizable parts and a future AR feature with like a drone then I'll totally spend 1 thousand dollars, especially because it seems so personal. I wanna customize it like a phone case.
I really want one to replace my Reverb G2 but the custom sizing would mean a zero resale value and with PC sim gear only getting more and more expensive that just has to be a concern now. If not only for the cost but also the waste of not being able to pass it on to someone making it almost disposable.
Bigscreen did mention they are going to be doing replacement gaskets, so if you do end up selling the headset the new user can have a custom one made. That being said, they would need a similar IPD as you which shouldnt be hard to find a buyer for if you're within the range of most people.
@@sincity_steve Yeah I saw they were offering the faceplates seperately. What I wonder is how accurate is the IPD really from the scan and/or to what resolution are they doing the IPD. Is it to the nearest mm or 0.1mm etc. If was just to the nearest mm then maybe it would be possible to pass them on but if its more particular than that it would be hard surely.
^ It won't need to be that precise; if that was the case then other headsets wouldn't be able to get away with having only three IPD settings.
@@grasstreefarmer IPD is measured at 1 mm increments. As for how big the sweet spot is and how close you need to be to the measured IPD, I'll be getting mine here soon hopefully and will test it out with others to see what the disparity is like.
Emira!😮
The lower resolution at 90hz isn't a displayport bandwidth limitation.
If they are still claiming that it is, then they are being dishonest.
It is a panel limitation of the displays within the Beyond itself.
Nah, they aren't. They put out a blogpost a while back explaining the limitations.
Iv just ordered a quest 3, iv never even tried VR so hope i dont get motion sickness 😂
Don't worry too much. I had pretty severe motion sickness when I started. Just take it slow, don't overdo it, take breaks frequently and in time your body will adjust. I now rarely get any motion sickness, unless the screen is floating because of loss of traction or something similar (at which point.. just close your eyes until it fixes itself)
Run a fan, wear shorts and no socks. Stay hydrated. Consider ginger or dremamine. Some will tell you to teleport, but I disagree. If you like First Person Shooters, you'll need to learn to adapt to smooth turning. It's so much fun. Half Life Alyx and it's gun play is so immersive.
What he ^ said. Also, don't worry if you do get motion sickness - I did way back when when I first tried VR, but taking the above steps and continuing to play a little bit every day (don't overdo it!), I got over my VR motion sickness entirely very quickly, within a few weeks. Nowadays I'm completely immune.
Man i really want to replace my Reverb G2 with one of these. Sucks being broke lol Bigscreen send me one and I'll be eternally grateful :)
I feel like this is the best place to leave this review, I purchased my BSB for sim racing only, but I’ve come across a very annoying and tedious problem, my fanatec DD2 interferes with the headset, apparently Fanatec sucks at shielding their bases properly and it causes EMI (Electro magnetic interference) wich causes the BSB to not work properly and go into a grey screen, I’ve tried a couple of things to fix it
Ferrite cores and Ferrite rings 240-31, and no luck the only positive I’ve had from this is the great costumer service experience that Im having with big screen, other than that I may (more than likely) end up returning the BSB because my game is unplayable, I figured I’d leave this here in case anyone else is thinking of buying it for sim racing only, the restocking fee is 20% so quite hefty but understandable.
Didnt consider change fanatec base to something else? I moved to simucube and best decision ever. However asetek might be good too.
The fixed IPD is a deal-breaker for me. It's cool, but I want to be able to share the experience. If I had unlimited funds, I'd have one of these for simming, and a Varjo for sharing. But, like all of us, I don't have unlimited funds.
Ah, I want to like this so much but without 120hz I cannot justify the buy button.
Will "survive" with Index until sth better comes up, but this is soo close. Index is super good with iRacing tbh, just weight and OLED-lessness.
I feel like the next version will be THE headset....
But do I spend 1.5k now? Or wait .. dunno 4? Years until that happens?
Hopefully this is the form factor for self contained units like Vision Pro and Quest Pro within the next couple years. If Apple in particular (more cameras, more sensors, wider field of view with desktop SoC on board) can miniaturise the Vision Pro to fit in this footprint with zero compromises it will be huge. Get that to sub $2K and the whole segment explodes.
Not possible. Even just the battery would be too big.
@@FarrelClement I’m cool with a magnetic battery pack that attaches at the rear or even cable battery pack sitting in my pocket worst case scenario.
Very Happy with my Quest 3 at 540€ with Virtual Desktop at Godlike 120fps 500mbps H264+
good for the price but not really same class
@@Eskoxo why? Besides the lack of inside out tracking and pass thru lenses (which I don't care about as a simracer), and besides the form factor which is basically it's only advantage, seems like the quality of the optics and resolutions would be quite similar (especially at 90hz)?
@@SalvatoreIovene Steamvr tracking(inconvenient for some but its still superior tracking and allows to add additional trackers for things like full body tracking), uncompressed DisplayPort image, m-oled panels, form factor, better performance on gpu( due to DisplayPort connection), and no network latency(when compared to wireless, or even usb as you need to compress/uncompress)… anyways if these things do not matter to you just get quest3 its a more versatile headset in other ways and big screen is more of a niche product that was never meant for mass market just enthusiasts with specific use cases.
It is cool, but they are not making it to suit 75mm IPD, so not the one for me. Something that disappoints me with VR headset manufacturers, is that there are very few headset that cater for large IPD's, up to 75mm.
Honestly, that’s because it’s a tiny amount of the population that has an ipd that high. You’re at the very end of the bell curve and each mm they accommodate for makes the headset a little bigger and heavier. Eventually they have to make a cutoff.
If your ipd is that high maybe a quest pro or quest 3 would work for you since it has such a huge sweet spot.
Went to buy one until I realized it’s tethered. Needs a box i put in my pocket or something
I get the good points of this headset, but for 1k, there's just better alternatives that offer more, OLED screen itself isn't enough for me to get one. I prefer a higher refresh rate, especially when im racing
Only thing that puts me off is the 90hz mode is not in native resolution
That’s a major deal breaker and it should be highlighted 😮
It's a displayport bandwidth restriction, so it's not really something that is the Beyond headset's fault.
If they wanted it for movies it should run at 72 hz.
Looks like anyone wearing glasses are screwed. Oh well...my wallet was twitching until I realized that.
6:50 SUPER GLUE
having to use superglue for a $1k product with less
@@diovalremonde2468 agreeeeeeeed.
So it has similar issue that the Quest 3 has. Glare...
I own 2 Beyond’s and I hate them. I’m a VR enthusiast and I was highly disappointed with this headset. The resolution and black levels are mind blowing, but at the sacrifice of literally everything else that’s just as important for a good VR headset. The awful lens flare alone is deal breaker for me, let alone face irritation, fogging, limited FOV especially vertical, edge distortion/ blurring, physical pressure on your eye brows and lids and the extreme performance demand on your gpu in full resolution. I wouldn’t recommend it over even a quest 3 for PCVR.
i know, the knee jerk reaction here is always: "well then its not meant for you, go look somewhere else" but the thing is, there is nothing else like this, but the fixed ipd and no way to adjust it, is just the nogo because i want to share this headset with my wife, and since i have 67mm and she has 56, the difference is just to big. thus the headset is out. but besides that, THIS is the headset i would wanna have, because all the pros that are important to me, are there, and the downsides of this one are the ones, i care the least about. only pain is: no inside tracking, would mean another 600 bucks for controllers and basestations.. but the vr market these days is only: enthusiast 1600+ dollar setups, or midrange standalone hardware for the casual.. theres nothing current gen in between and thats the market iam in for. HP is pulling out, pico lay offs. valve deckard silence for 4 years.. its not looking good for 800-1100 dollar pcvr hardware.. and when it comes to the question in the video "if this is the right headset for you?" i can only answer, from everything ive read an seen so far, there is no headset right for me.. what i want:
-display port connection, so no compression at all
Manual IPD adjustment (no automatic, unecessary extra cost for minimal comfort gain, i can do that myself)
-2560x2560 res minimum, so that theres no real screendoor effect
-105+ degree FOV
-Eye tracking and Fovated rendering
-Pancake lenses on quest 3 levels
-oled would be nice, otherwise local dimming lc display
-inside out tracking and controllers included on quest 3 level of tracking quality
i dont need any standalone hardware, its just dead weight and additional cost for pcvr
all the other downsides and problems, like mura, goodrays, chromatic abberation is something i can live with
so all that, for around 1.000 bucks, which is around twice the price of the quest 3, which has standalone hardware
I waited and saved almost a year for this, and it is just insanely uncomfortable on my right eye socket, no matter how I arrange the head band, carved some right eye piece foam out and it still puts intense strain on the right eye, the left feels awesome, the visuals are great, i just can't play any longer than an hour, the IPD and scanning may leave something to be desired
There is no possible way that I would buy any headset that does not have an adequate sound solution. If you have ever tried a Valve Index, HP Reverb G2, or Pimax KDMAS on their headsets, then you understand. You see, the thing is that they are trying to sell you a device that is supposed to mimic a theater scenario for watching movies; but I always watch movies with sound. I always play games with sound too. And one thing I don't want to do is put on headphones or wear earbuds. The sound solution on the Valve, HP, and Pimax headsets are off-ear, part of the headset, and sound incredible.
Additionally, the Big Screen Beyond has big screen glare, and when you begin your session it also has big screen foggy lenses until the device warms up, and it also has no pass-through at all.
This is a Big pass for me. You can't even share the thing with friends because it requires a custom face pad *ONLY* for you. I wouldn't buy this thing for $50.
Soundcore VR P10 are Perfect for this headset
Not being able to share with my family. And crap narrow fov off the bat I couldn't care less no matter how small this thing is lol
feels very overpriced with the varjo aero being pricecut now. all the extra feature you get on the varjo and it's cheaper now... still i feel like the pricecut is just a message to the public that bigger better things are closeby, what some might call a VR3.0 so to speak. with smaller form factors, DFR, eye tracking and high refresh / high res displays. i'd love to see something that packs the same hardware as a varjo aero or a pimax crystal but in a form factor halfway between a varjo aero and this bigscreen beyond unit. with the index style audio solution. i'd pay 2k for that without a doubt.
As an Aero owner who paid full price, I'm very much looking forward to the Bigscreen Beyond and expect it to be my daily driver. I have already got a great IEM solution with short cables for my Aero that I'll use on the Bigscreen Beyond. The upside is that the IEM's have 37dB of attenuation so I can't hear my motion or tactile system in game on my rig improving immersion.
@@markkovalcson7243 okay interesting, is it purely the small form factor that made you choose the bigscreen?
Dude!! you have a Ferrari??
Lotus
Emira?
@@YayDanMan
Yea its an Emira, my brain just decided it was a Ferrari 😆
Haha it happens quite a lot. Baby 488 with a proper gearbox.
So true 😆 @@boostedmedia
Using DP1.4 when DP2.0 does exist feels like quite the oversight! Shame really cause being such a comfort/weight-optimised design looks really appealing, though as someone who would have to get all the external steamVR hardware to be able to use this headset maybe this was never for me 😅
Well, what if I told you that a 4080 only supports DP 1.4? Shame that not only Bigscreen made an oversight..
How do aero and crystal deal with this issue? Is it really dp1.4 or just bigscreen.
Until NVidia supports DP 2.0 which may be 2025, it's almost a moot issue, but the bandwidth issue with the Bigscreen is headset related, not DP1.4 related.
@@markkovalcson7243 ah yeah there I go mouthing off without confirming with the relevant info lol, appreciate the correction
To me, the #1 deal-breaker with these is the utter lack of pass-through video, and the mandatory need for lighthouse base stations. Both those serious limitations are bad enough, but the inability to share with friends and family (due to their detailed customization) which also severely limits their re-sellability, puts these out of contention for my tethered VR use-case. Which is a disappointment tbf. [edited for typos]
Wearing glasses,will that be a problem
They sell prescription lenses.
Thank you my man
Now that the Varjo Aero dropped their price to $999 with higher specs , this doesn't stand a big chance in my opinion
Review and Prototype dont belong in the same sentence lol
Shame you have to spend another load of money on light houses
