Also, the screen size is just right. I wonder why "Big Screen" and Netflix etc. find that a problem. The Achilles heel, is the same though, for me anyway. It's poor resolution. A grainy image. Maybe on an HP Reverb G2 it would be great, but there's an irritating lack of sharpness, even with 4k source video. If a phone is going to give a better image it's always going to be disappointing.<div class="edit_text">EDITED: 3 Sep 2022 22:08 by WILLIAMA</div> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42839.25&return_msg=42839.19" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42839.25"> <span class="rating">+1/1</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42839_26"></a><div class="message" id="message_42839_26"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: Killamarshian (HAL9001)<span class="message_time"> 4 Sep 2022 18:57</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 4 Sep 2022 19:08"></span></span> <span class="message_count">26 of 37</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42839.26">42839.26</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42839.19#a42839_25" target="_self">42839.25</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I don't have an issues with the resolution. maybe it is because I have 60 year-old eyes now. <span class="emoticon e_sad" title=":-("><span class="e__">:-(</span></span> </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42839.26&return_msg=42839.19" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42839.26"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42839_27"></a><div class="message" id="message_42839_27"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time"> 4 Sep 2022 19:09</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: Killamarshian (HAL9001) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 5 Sep 2022 03:42"></span></span> <span class="message_count">27 of 37</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42839.27">42839.27</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42839.19#a42839_26" target="_self">42839.26</a></div> <div class="message_body"> I have 66 year-old eyes and getting older every day</div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42839.27&return_msg=42839.19" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42839.27"> <span class="rating">+1/1</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div><a name="a42839_28"></a><div class="message" id="message_42839_28"> <div class="message_header"> <div class="message_from"> From: william (WILLIAMA)<span class="message_time"> 2 May 21:32</span> <div class="clearer"></div> </div><div class="message_to">To: william (WILLIAMA) <span><span class="image post_read" title="Read: 2 May 21:32"></span></span> <span class="message_count">28 of 37</span><div class="clearer"></div> </div> </div> <div class="message_links"> <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42839.28">42839.28</a> In reply to <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=DEFAULT&msg=42839.19#a42839_27" target="_self">42839.27</a></div> <div class="message_body"> Okidoke! So, I read and watched a few early reviews of the Quest 3. The consensus seemed to be that mixed reality is a let down (lack of material and quality not there yet), but the hike in resolution and processor power is great with screen door almost gone, field of view bigger, immersion much improved. <br /> <br /> Now I've read a few more recent reviews, particularly from actual users and things are far less clear. In particular many users are saying that subjectively the Quest 2 is actually more immersive than the 3. This is, apparently, a combination of effects. One unexpected problem is that the sharper lenses make the screen door effect more or a problem, not less. In addition, the quality control is poor, with some models markedly worse than others: dead pixels, poor focus, uneven brightness etc. Of course, this isn't the whole picture and some users are happy that the 3 is a vast improvement over the 2. <br /> <br /> I think I'll be giving the 3 a miss for now. </div> <div class="message_footer"> <div class="message_footer_links"><a href="lpost.php?webtag=DEFAULT&reply_to=42839.28&return_msg=42839.19" class="reply"><span class="image post"></span>Reply</a></div> <div class="message_vote_form" data-msg="42839.28"> <span class="rating">0/0</span> <span class="image vote vote_down vote_down_off" title="Vote Down"></span> <span class="image vote vote_up vote_up_off" title="Vote Up"></span> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="message_page_footer"> <ul> <li class="right_col"><form accept-charset="utf-8" method="get" action="lmessages.php" target="_self"><input type="hidden" name="webtag" id="webtag" class="bhinputtext" value="DEFAULT" dir="ltr" /><input type="hidden" name="msg" id="msg" class="bhinputtext" value="42839.29" dir="ltr" /><input type="submit" name="submit" id="keep_reading" value="Keep reading…" class="button" /></form></li> </ul> </div> </div> </body>
