No prices yet. I may never financially recover from this.

    Been waiting for this vr headset to release for years, only to find they’ve used lcd’s instead of OLED screens. I’m so disappointed and pissed.

      They said they went LCD because of the light loss due to the lenses.

      I dunno if they could implement a controlled backlit array + high constrast panel layer at that scale, but it would be killer if they did and made it seem 80% like a real OLED.

        Hmm. Ok. That’s fair I guess. Still bummed, but I guess I’ll give it a try when it’s released. Still better than a quest.

      Fair assessment. It’s got all the bells and whistles except OLED. Makes me wonder if they’re planning on an OLED model in a year or two like they did with the Deck. They know there will be plenty of double dippers.
