Reviews

"There are some internal reflections that are extra noticeable on dark backgrounds and my eyelashes are long enough to brush the lenses and make them oily so I'll have to clean them often, but other than that I am very happy with it!"

"I'm kind of in between with this headset. I'm loving the great pixel density of the 2e. It's amazing how much clearer I can read text and not have to deal with screen door effect officially. It's hard for me to notice a weight difference maybe because I've just gotten so used to 8 years of more heavy headsets not effecting me. I am loving the OLED panels but I have noticed a yellowish red orange warm tint from the headset. Coming from a Samsung ultra wide OLED monitor panel, the colors are very different and more warm on the headset. I was able to adjust this by changing the RGB settings with the vrfps app on steam. Another problem I have is the face gasket. The gasket is very fragile and when taking it off from one side the plastic inside structure already broke sadly and I was not rough with it at all. This is a very expensive headset I've waited over half a year to receive so I have tried to be as careful as I can with it."

Works great, image is crisp

"Works great, image is crisp on a 2080 SUPER even, can only improve once I end up being able to upgrade my card. Primary complaint that keeps it from 5 stars is that it hurts to wear when snug, although it is ignorable pain at the very least, it's still significant enough to knock a star off for me. The size is a huge plus in not feeling like you're lugging around a weight on your head in VR for basic tasks. The headset does heat up quite a bit during use, however none of that heat is felt while wearing the product, which is great. My use case for this product for being able to do tasks isolated from my room, as well as watching videos or playing video games within Bigscreen. I don't do much gaming within VR as nothing has really been built well that supports it, but that isolated immersive vibe is exactly what I want from VR at the moment and it works perfectly. Also tested it out watching Tron Legacy in 3D, depth worked great, although getting your 3D BluRays converted into a usable format requires a bit of knowhow."

Love my Beyond 1 for Productivity

"I used my Beyond with Virtual Desktop for productivity purposes. I can see much, much more desktop space with Windows Virtual Display Drivers as well, greatly increasing my efficiency for work tasks. The Beyond is also useable for gaming, and I play a few mmorpg's using the Beyond, including Black Desert Online."

The big screen beyond 1

"The big screen beyond 1 has been an excellent device to own and use it has been better than any of the devices I previously owned like the psvr2 quest 2 quest. 3 and valve index the clarity and light weight of the device is a huge improvement over the index’s poor fresnel lenses but the small fov and low ppd are small defects the big screen 2 is a remedy to most of the issues however the original unit was revolutionary with sharp visuals and custom pancake optics when it comes to audio the strap is crucial to making the system complete valve was working with auduze on a binuraul audio strap maybe making something to this degree could improve the audio quality the strap was a large planar magnetic driver. When do you plan on making a big screen branded controller perhaps something like the index controllers but more durable its my firm belief that big screen will be the company to start the vr revolution."

"Ive tried all VR headsets, this is the best overall. The edges fall out of focus quickly, but the longer you stay, the more it disappears. All in all, where it counts, this headset is the best you can get. MeganeX is simply not worth it. All others are not worth it, this is the best bang for the buck."

I am not a seasoned

"I am not a seasoned VR player as I only played a few times at those VR places where you can rent for an hour, likely HTC Vive quality. The Beyond is awesome in terms of image quality but I have the same feedback as many. There is glare in contrasted scenes (dark area with flashlight on, for example) and the edge to edge clarity and sweet spot are limited. That being said, I got used to it and getting the prescription lenses, even for my very light correction made a huge difference. I am unfortunately in the small group of people where the face scan did not give good result from the start but support has been good to try and address that. I am looking forward to potentially upgrading to the Beyond 2 in the future as this company proved they can create great products."
