It still doesn't justify one wasting an additional $500 for a Quest Pro then acting as if that HMD is somehow worthy enough to totally skip and miss out on a Somnium VR1 HMD. We love Meta and all but NO the Quest Pro isn't on the level of visual fidelity as the VR1.

June 24, 20241 yr I use Quest Pro with Virtual Desktop app (VXDR), no Quest Rift PC software --- works great. PS - DeoVR is another amazing app (no it doesn't work for flightsim, but let me tell you that it has reduced my travel to Las Vegas...it is too good). Now, PS VR2 is coming with a PC upgrade later this Aug - Let us see on what happens with it How I Evaluate Third Party Sim Addon Developers Refined P3Dv5.0 HF2 Settings Part1 (has MaddogX) and older thread Part 2 (has PMDG 747)

July 11, 20241 yr these videos are meaningless (captured from the 2D-monitor instead of through-the-VR-lense). They don't show the visual quality compared to other VR headsets like Pimax Crystal Light. the camera pass through is a nice feature though. according to testers, visual and build quality seems high, and so is its price. unfortunately no integrated audio and front heavy: Somnium VR1 vs. Pimax Crystal Light I will still wait until Pimax Crystal Super and Somnium VR2 before I will make a decision: 240 degrees hFOV x 120 vFOV is the future: Edited July 11, 20241 yr by turbomax AMD 7800X3D, Windows 11, Gigabyte X670 AORUS Elite AX Motherboard, 64GB DDR5 G.SKILL Trident Z5 NEO RGB (AMD Expo), RTX 4090, Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 2 TB PCIe 4.0, Samsung 980 PRO M.2 NVMe SSD 1 TB PCIe 4.0, 4K resolution 50" TV @60Hz, VR: Pimax Crystal Light + HP Reverb G2 @ 90 Hz, Honeycomb Bravo Throttle Quadrant, be quiet 1000W PSU, Noctua NH-U12S chromax.black air cooler. 60-130 fps. no CPU overclocking. very nice.
