    Just a quick update, the product shipped last Friday (so 5 working days after order) and is now enroute. Now we'll see how long it'll take to get here.

    it turns out that even using single focal glasses still have some blurriness or color separation (like a 3D image without 3D glasses) when you eyes look towards the outer edge of the glasses (at least in my case) so I went and ordered a set of prescription plug-ins from VR-ROCK. Seems they make...

    VR2 is not true 4K and the HDR spec is not really that bright (but still better than most 2nd gen headset on the market) so non-VR games still look better on my TV. It also look quite stunning in cinematic mode for streaming media if you don't have a large high end 4K TV as it give a larger...

    Managed to find a pair of single focus with the previous prescription and it's actually working better than the progressive. Just have to live with it for a week.

    One thing I forgot to mention is that as an older gamer having to wear glasses. I started wearing progressive for my daily use a few years ago . Problem with progressive is that the image is only clear and sharp at the top portion when wearing a headset. On headset that does not use eye...

    Lets talk about which game do you like the most, which one did you buy or plans to buy and why. I have Horizon, GT7 and Kayak so far and I'm spending most of my time on GT7. I'm an older gamer so I probably won't be buying any of the fast paced shooter games. May get the Star Wars one just...

    I don't know if the interior details of each car were already scanned and rendered but was just not accessible before or they went back and re-scanned everything for the VR patch but the fact that you can do a full walkaround of the car and sit inside and look at all the interior detail is...

    It's the same setup and from one of the take apart video, the end inside the headset has a small breakout cable in addition to a USB-C plug so probably not user replaceable.

    After a few more hours. If you like GT7 and have the budget for the VR2. There's absolutely no reason not to get one. The immersion factor in game is just insane. As beautiful as the scenery are on a good 4K TV, it's stunning in VR, so much so that I actually find myself slowing down just to...

    Since the existing PSVR thread is mostly regarding the 1st gen unit except for the 5th page. I think we should do all the VR2 discussion on a new thread. Here's my quick take after a few hours. Between the ~4K HDR res, the 120hz refresh, a very good OLED panel, light weight with great balance...

    Day and night difference. Between the ~4K HDR res, the 120hz refresh, a very good OLED panel, light weight with great balance and the ability to wear your own glasses (for most) makes every other headset pales by comparison (except that it does not work on PC :grumpy:) . Although I'm not...

    I could care less about the 1800 nit. The only thing I care about is if they managed to solve the fundamental problem of OLED brightness drop once it goes past 25%. Samsung QD OLED finally managed to keep brightness above 500nits at 50% with the QD layer but still suffer a large drop towards...

    43" Odyssey G7 mini LED 144hz

    I may get one if I can get a press discount through my contact at Samsung and retire the CG437K at the office. Then I'll compare it to the 50QN90A.

    43" Odyssey G7 mini LED 144hz

    Disappointed at the HDR performance but the Mini-LED backlight will produce a better picture than the FV43U and the CG437K with the advantage of having a DP port over the QN series. But otherwise the QN90B will probably work as well for less, especially once the price start dropping after the...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    I have the 1st gen CG7/CG437K with HDMI 2.0 and they uses the same panel and have the same spec as the current one with HDMI 2.1 (beware that unless you order directly from Acer, most retailer is still selling the 1st gen). Here's some of my thoughts on both. The CG437K worked very well for me...

    GIGABYTE AORUS FV43U 43 inch 4k 144 HDR1000 QLED monitor

    In that case, The QN90B will certainly gives you better local dimming when watching media but I won't really expect much improvement in viewing angles and I have no problem with text clarity on either my FV43U or my 50QN90A. Do beware that you only get 12 bit processing vs 14bit on the QN90B in...

    Here's how it looks on the FV43U side by side with one viewed on the forum page and one downloaded to the PC and open in Photos. I have a window on the right side of my desk that have some light leaks even while shaded so I swap the image position on this one.

    Sharp TV have not re-enter the U.S. market yet probably because it will take a tremendous PR effort to repair the damage to the brand image done by Hisense. That said, I would really want to see the Brand return as what I saw of their 4K-8K products while I was in Japan look quite amazing...

    I shot some pictures on my iPhone 12 while playing the FFXIV Endwalker trailer on the FV43U, Some of them may be a bit blurry as I did not pause and I think it's pretty damn good.

    OK, I would give the FV43U a try if you're in the U.S. as the $699 Amazon price is a bargain and you can return it if it doesn't meet your expectation. I bought it at full price and is still really happy with it. It certainly a couple level up from my 1st 4K (Samsung JU7500) from 2015.

    No if it's a 1080P being display on this Sharp HDTV in native and then being scaled to fit the 4K monitor.
