Samsung has announced their new headset at an event in San Francisco, where Microsoft outlined the future of Windows Mixed Reality: the $500 HMD Odyssey sports dual AMOLED eye displays, complete with a 110-degree field of view (FoV), which puts it ahead of the devices offered by Lenovo, HP, Dell, Acer, and ASUS.
This could potentially make a huge difference in the quality of the Windows Mixed Reality experience for two reasons. First, AMOLED displays can generate deeper blacks and more vibrant colors than your average OLED or LCD screen. Second, all other Windows Mixed Reality headsets we've seen have a 95-degree FoV. The Samsung headset will be more immersive because there will be less dead space in your peripheral vision. The headset is expected to be available on November 6, 2017, and it comes with motion controllers.
