I’m only worried a Valve Index 2 or Samsung Odyssey 2 with much better specs gets announced/released shortly after Pro 2, which is why I think HTC are giving incentive to preorder now, then again, I thought the 8KX was going to be outdated by this time… I feel like HTC deserves my money because Vive 1 was so good (visually better than Rift1 imo(brightness/FOV/immersion) besides screendoor).
Same, but hopefully not too soon, lol. Those Samsung patents have been around for years now…I’d only want OLED if it was RGB, no more screen door for me, and I didn’t like the pixel diffuser that Samsung and Valve used…it makes everything less crisp. We’ll probably need 4K x 4K pentile for no screendoor
I really hope the dual fresnel isn’t to blur over SDE as samsung and others have done. At this resolution there is no reason to be doing that imo as it creates a whole host of other issues.
I hope the colors are mind blowing. It’s really the only reason I still love using HTC headsets, and I’m afraid that may be a property of OLED displays. Why cant a panel manufacturer do what sony did!?
He measured it with standard foam, so most likely it’s even a bit wider and I’m now expecting it to be really 120 degrees but you’d probably need to mod the foam a bit. Too bad about the vertical FoV although again, measured with standard foam.
In 2 days the embargo will end so lots of info will be coming our way soon!
So that’s 109 vertical. As @evertec said above, MRTV measured 90 vertical but he did so using a visual tool (probably ROV). We’d need him to run it through Risa’s tool. I’m sure he’ll do so in his final review. Hopefully there’s at least a few more degrees that we can see if we mod the foam a bit.
To get a more true max FoV really need a tool like @risa2000 Hmdq to see what it is rendering. It seems odd to have 90° Vertical and 114° Horizontal. In that both FoV values should be like the G2 in that these are square panels. Otherwise it sounds like there is a fair amount of panel utilization waste in the Vertical with at current user FoV test showing 24° difference between Vertical and Horizontal.
