Which 3d Audio setting did you select , there are 3 preset’s if I remember correctly

i use the custom eq that i posted and for the 3d i used the default one(the middle)

Thats intresting,mine has alot off Mura… yours dont?

Do you see it in every scene? I see it in some scenes, in others I pretty much see no mura at all. Of course it’s subjective but it sounds you have way more mura than I have.

Mostly the lenses, I wrote quite a bit on that subject in the xtal thread, if you’re interested.

you know whats strange,i remember you saying how you will never go back to 8kx due to mura haha when you got the aero bout a year ago and how there was nothing between your eyes and the world with the aero,its insane to me how someone so sensitive of it back then could even stand psvr2 wich i think is nearly unplayable because the mura moves pretty much all the time with your head and is very severe specially in dimly lit enviorments like re8 but also during day time,meanwhile i literally see nothing with my 8kx and the ghosting is another issue,i have yet to try a game running at 90fps on it i only played re8,hcotm and few hours of gt7 i might get that star wars game.

might be my unit but anyway i keep it for the must play exclusives because i do prefer re8 over the mod but not one single bit because of the visuals,but because of the much better vr mechanics implemented by the devs,the mod in fact looks like 2x as sharp on my pc specialy you can get the textures packs wich on psvr2 they are already much blurrier.

I do see it in every scene… thats intresting what you say…

It certainly does sound like your mura is way worse than mine. Mine is really nowhere as bad as you state yours is.

This is very true. The aero has an incredible image fidelity, I still really love it. Also the lenses are the best lenses i’ve ever seen, it are the only lenses in which my eyes feel 100% relaxed, no eye strain at all, as if I wasn’t even wearing a headset. But it has its own downsides, mostly the FoV. And the colors are quite bleak.

Hey @carnathsmecher I see I accidentally placed a smiley under your post and can’t remove it. No, listen, I don’t want you to think that my PSVR2 mura is similar as my 8kX mura. It’s not, the PSVR2 mura is substantially worse. You should interpret my 8kx mura comment back then in the context of doing several AB comparison with the Varjo Aero. Back then I was AB comparing the headsets several time to find out WHY I liked the Aero image so much better and when you do that, you’ll definitely start to see that the 8kX has quite a bit of mura (I do have one of the very first 8kX’es out there, I think @john2910 said that later models had way less mura).

However, my 8kX mura is still not as bad as my PSVR2 mura. My PSVR2 headset has substantial mura and it definitely is THE biggest downside for me for this headset. I don’t know if it’s as bad as your mura, it sounds like yours is even quite a bit worse. But even mine is very far from being mura free. Maybe it’s just the combination of my very low expectations and then this awesome experience with RE. I mean the moment you step into that snow in the beginning of the game, it just all feels so real! It’s a feeling I barely have had with any of my other headsets. It definitely just feels like the 3D world is much more believable for some reason. Even though the image fidelity is quite a bit less than the Varjo Aero. @john2910 said it above “the immersion and 3d was somehow far better on the psvr2…i dont know why” and this is exactly what i feel

wish i could feel that way,i dont see anything special about the 3d,in fact because i cant see much in the distance i think it has less depth than other headsets,but its subjective so yeah.

for the price is certainly great.

I just missed this video. Woah, no my mura i nowhere as bad as this! I’ll see later today if I can make a vid myself to show how it is on my headset.

I bought one more psvr2 secondhand and i get it this weekend so i can see if there is a difference in the Mura.

Cool! I thought about making the video above but I realized: how am I going to put something on video that I can’t see myself? Like said in some scenes I really don’t see mura so it won’t be visible on video neither so I’m not sure if such video would even be of any value. However I would like to add that in some dark scenes the mura is actually indeed quite bad. Maybe even similar to what they showed in that video that you linked. So my ‘it’s not THAT bad’ might be wrong. Actually in some dark scenes the mura indeed is quite bad.

Either way, going to be really interesting to hear if you think the mura on your new device is any better!

Okay i did put my psvr2 through the test to compare the mura.

The mura is about the same on the two units…

On the second psvr2 the image looks maybe slightly sharper(but it could be a placebo effect)…or because some slight difference in the mura…(but only very very slight)

But o my… what is it great to have those blacks in saint and sinners at night…it adds so much immersion…

Hey @john2910 that’s too bad mate, had hoped the newer headset would have less mura.

Been playing some more RE, I think it’s indeed mostly the vivid colors that add so much to the immersion. And the game itself just is so nice. I think that’s mainly the problem with PC VR. I mean even if the perfect headset would arrive now, what would we play? Nothing on PC VR comes close to HL:A. And now on PSVR2 we have RE, that’s at least up par with HL:A. And haven’t even checked out other titles yet. I think this is even the biggest problem with PC VR. No good titles to play.

I really hope PSVR2 becomes a big success and more AAA developers will develop for VR. I’m just sick and tired of ugly indy games. We need more HL:A and RE type of games!
