Thanks, you certainly know your electronics. 🙂 I just did this for a bit of fun. Looking at the resolution jump, it’s actually not that great over an 8 year periodand it’s only Pimax in the last few years, consistently pushing higher. This is why I backed them to hopefully encourage other headset manufacturers to increase also. Luckily Valve and HP turned up to pressure Oculus somewhat. ---

Indeed well tbh there is far too many headsets that could be added to the list. But yeah the bumps have been painfully slow with VR. ---

I’ll say! Years ago someone I knew bought one of the very first “high-res” consumer VR headsets. (I don’t remember the brand.) This was in the '90s. It was 640x480. I think it was 16-bit color. The only game he could play on it was Quake 1. ---
