      I agree. I was going to order crystal light but I think I will wait. Sharper image than my Pico 4 would be great for sure but what I'm missing most is fov. Hyper vision optics look promising but sadly still no news from any manufacturer adopting it in their projects.

      It's manly because of the limitations of dp 1.4 they're isn't really that much more headroom for them to push fov and resolution at the same time. Gotta wait till next gen gpus from nivida to have dp 2.0+.

    In videos where going through lots of products such as in this case, it's always very nice when the clip has been divided in chapters. So you quickly can go to the product(s) you're interested in.
    Maybe time-consuming on your side and then I understand if you don't have that time but if it's easy, that would be great to see in similar upcoming clips 🙂

  • @mick_6006
    @mick_6006 25 днів тому +2

    Hi, thanks for all your videos, they have been very helpful in deciding to buy my Reverb G2 a while ago and also having just got my hands on a Pico 4 and Virtual Desktop App.
    One thing I would take issue with though is the idea that Godlike settings need a 4090. I only have a 4060ti (until a AMD 6900XT arrives in the next couple of days) and went from HD to Ultra and still getting reasonable frames so tried Godlike and got a very good image and with a prop twin still got low 30's frame rate at London City. Only low 20's with a single mind you, I think more going on without the engine in the way. My settings are similar to you mid/budget settings but slightly higher with some and DLSS Quality.
    I do probably still have my VR Toolkit settings running for the G2 if they transferred over as I haven't touched that for months.
    I am using a wired LAN on the desktop and have 5G wifi about 6 feet away but if a 4060ti can hack it, many others will too. Hence I would say the Pico is a perfect upgrade for a G2 even with a lower end card 4060ti or better especially if your happy flyng twins. I'll try ultra for singles but was just so happy with Godlike flying a couple of twins around. The view is much sweeter than the G2, more realistic, AA speckling almost non-existent.
    Thanks again,
    Mike

    i am really struggeling tbh. I am still using my Reverb G2 to this day. I had a Crystal for a couple of weeks but decided to return it. Weight Software aswell as the lenses didnt make it for me. Ofc the sharpness was incredible however I feel like I'd like to have OLED and a better formfactor to play other games aswell.
    Somehow there is no real replacement for the G2 for me personally which is a shame. I need inside out tracking + controllers which somehow seems incredibly hard. I do have a Quest 3 aswell and while the lenses are amazing I do notice the lower res. It is really a shame. I hope some better VR Headsets will be released in 2025 with the "full package". I don't want to decide wether to play sim only or other VR Titles.

    We’ll see what happens. After watching many of your videos I was leaning towards the Pimax Crystal Light but several unhappy customers on their subreddit plus it seems back ordered so that sorta turned me off a bit.
    I know you don’t recommend Quest 3 but I think I might go for it just cause it’s sorta easy and just workssss … better than nothing. And using it on my sofa for movies also sounds fun.

      I can assure you the Quest 3 is an amazing headset for allround VR. The edge to edge Quality is unbeaten. As I mentioned before I had the Pimax Crystal for around 2 weeks and I was a little bummed. The screen itself is amazing but I expected lenses that could hold up to the Quest 3 in terms of edge to edge quality and it simply couldn't. Also nearly 3 times the price but a weaker processor for standalone do not sound right to me

    While not as good as a newer display port headsets, one can minimize the compression artifacting of the Quest 3 with Virtual Desktop. Remember, bitrate is king with Virtual Desktop. The best investment I made to my system was buying a WIFI 6 router and using it as an access point. (I am using a TP Link Router that sits on my desk. I picked-up on sale on Amazon for $70.00 with the WIFI dedicated to the Quest 3). This allows me to max out my bit rate in Virtual Desktop. Latency does increase slightly, but while flight simming it is not an issue. With a 5800x3d, a 4080 Super and using either the AV1 codec or HEVC 10-bit codec, I max the bitrate to 200 on God Mode within Virtual Desktop. the the image is pretty darn clear and most of the compression is gone or at least not noticeable. Obviously, if the Quest 3 had a higher PPD it would make a huge difference in visual quality. Also, yes a display port on the headset would give a better image as well. My old Rift S does not even compare to the image quality I m getting in the Quest 3 with these settings. Oh, I race sim as well, and it is pretty darn impressive while race simming.
    Not a huge Meta fan, trust me, but for the price you cannot beat the Quest 3 purely on cost to feature ratio. I just wish Meta's privacy policies were better. I have all the privacy items turned off, but who knows……

    Audio with Big Screen Beyond. I use earpods! (Soundcaoe Liberty 4 NC which is a $100 earbud set (I got it for $70 on Amazon Prime Day sale).
    It is WAY better than the sound on my old Reverb G2. And the G2 sound was very good. But these type of high end earbuds (made for Ipads and Iphones) are even much better! True high fidelity. Mine sounds better than my AutioTech M50 studio on ear headset). My headset that I use with these are the Crystal Light with standard sound.
    Anyway Soundcore also makes $30 earbuds.
    Check UA-cam videos on these type of earpods (a.k.a. earbuds).
    Big Screen Beyond has no sound. Earpods are the tiniest and they are wireless ((bluetotth). And because they are in ear, they sound better than off ear. Much better!

Is the sweetspot of the BigScreenBeyond biger or smaller than the G2? Is the glare better or worse in the BigScreenBeyond? THanks a lot!

FOV is about the same. Comfort is of course vastly superior. Persistence is a little worse than the G2, especially with the brightness above 100%, but it isn't bad. Overall I'd recommend the Beyond.

    There is already an issue with gaze tracking in the last two releases of Varjo Base, yet it is only those latest versions that don't get the 'no video' message problem on top end PCs. 8 months after purchase at the 999 price I can finally actually use the Aero after Varjo replaced the complete headset, but gaze tracking is a known issue both for glasses wearers and also with inserts (which I have yet to buy as I was just trying to get it to work first).
    As you say, the commercial customers seem willing to accept less than end users. Varjo support do what they can to help but are obviously limited by their development focus on the XR4. I can't honestly see myself considering an XR4 after the way they pretended to be just reducing the price yet were actually dumping all inventory of the Aero.
    STILL waiting on a 2 x 4K OLED panel MR/AR headset with aspheric lenses!

    Hey, the Vive Pro 2 is a good and relatively cheap headset. The problem that most people have with it is the focal distance. I found out rather by accident that with my work glasses, which have one diopter less, I get along very, very well with the VP2 now. If you can see well without visual aids, you should probably try reading glasses with different strengths.If you then use reshade to resharp, you get a really good image with a decent FOV. It also increases the sweet spot! The only annoying thing is glare, but in most games it doesn't show up that much, I have 160% vision with vision correction, which only about 5-10% of people have and I also tried the Pimax Crystal Light. The screendooreffect with the Crystal was worse than with the VP2, so I'm sticking with the VP2 for now. I'm now waiting for the PCSuper and hoping for a relatively inexpensive headset without SDE. I think the XR-4 is probably a dream so far, but with tiger stripes a no go. The VR1 is simply too heavy and has SDE like the VP2 or the Pimax Crystal!

    Great video Steve. In the Market for a new headset now after getting a 7900XTX, the Rift S I think is bottlenecking my visuals a bit! Probably going to go for the Pimax Crystal light, as it's more within my price range - but I am a little put off by the lottery of not knowing if you'll get a bad one or not! No need for a wireless headset, so I think I'm best with a direct gpu connection - like my Rift.

    What a collection recap of VR headset my god. Nice summing them all up. I'm still in focus in getting the Pimax Crystal light with local dimming & Dmas speakers to replace my G2. But still first a GPU upgrade propably to AMD RX 7900 XTX because that price is still going down and is powerfull enought. Nvidia is just too expensive. Have a great wedding after party & enjoy the good life out of VR also :-)

    Don't buy would be anything Pimax imo, based on their inability to provide a fully complete product (crystal shipped with one set of the two promised sets of lenses), poor build quality, poor fit for many Western shaped heads (mine included), a battery system which is badly implemented unless you conjure up a method to keep it reasonably well charged while using. Useless features such as eye tracking that has very few discernible performance benefits, atrocious software that still cannot reliably implement frame generation. I'm not a fan you might say. Price to performance make this a terrible waste of money

    My Crystal light died in less than a month.
    Sorry Pimax your service is terrible, after days of tickets and finally a chat on discord it was confirmed my unit needs replacing.
    I was informed that the wait for a replacement is so long that it would be faster for me to purchase a new one from a local supplier, and they will refund my purchase after I send it back and they receive it.
    My local supplier is still waiting on stock, so my best case scenario is over a month to replace the headset. Not impressed with that kind of after sales service. This is early days but if the failure rate is anything like the Reverb G2 there will be some long waiting times to get your faulty headset replaced.
    Good luck guys, you may need it.

      @@VRFlightSimGuy Thanks Steve, I have already been communicating with Niko, he came to the conclusion that the heaset needed replacing, he promissed me VIP service but then seemingly got overuled by sales and service, they did offer me a set of DMAS headphones, which is better than nothing. I think it's more the slowness of replys on tickets and that a warranty claim is put to the back of the queue, in comparison when my G2 needed replacing the tech spoke directly to me the same day on the phone and had a priority replacement sent out that day, I then returned the faulty one in the prepaid package provided. with this mob they want my old heaset back at my expense then when they recieve it they will credit me my initial cost. very inefficient and perhaps because they have such demand they can treat us this way, honestly if there was an alternative headset out there I would just return it and go buy from another company. I have a gut feeling that these headsets are going to fail quite a lot, the quality of the power pack plug and connectors felt flimsy, I hope I am wrong and my case is a one off as I really want them to succeed we need headsets like these out there, just wish their service was better.
      cheers

    It really sucks that the reverb g2 will soon not be supported any more. It’s an absolutely great vr headset and my favourite of the quest 2, pimax 8k and oculus cv1.
    To be honest I’m going to keep going with it as long as I can because I really have no need to upgrade if I don’t have to. It has all the clarity I could ever need and has done me thousands of great hours in flight sims and sim racing.
    Huge mistake for them to be cutting the support for it in my opinion.
    Real shame.

    Can't understand the "hate" against Varjo! The Aero will run also after 2025 and be better than a lot of other headsets. Just the "support" ends. The software and the HMD will stil work! I'll wait until MSFS 2024 comes out, will see how it works in VR with my 4090 and then I will decide weather I replaece the reverb G2 and for me the Varjo is also in 2025 still an option! I can buy a "like new" Aero incl. 2 Steam Lighthouse Bases for less than 800 Euro.

    Hey Steve,
    Thanks for the informative video….
    I am wanting to order the Somnium 1 VR unit but I would like your input before I make the plunge.
    I mainly play DCS and I really need a headset that has clarity on plain spotting!
    what head set would work best?
    Do I need all the functions and tech like the premium headset or mid level?
    I don’t think I need pass through or hand tracking as I use a 1-1 scale fully functioning cockpit (P-51D Mustang) which is have very good muscle memory.
    I’m currently using the HP Reverb G2 now looking for a replacement. I’m happy to invest so money is not a factor in this purchase as its cheaper than owning a P-51😂
    Thanks in advance for your opinoin.
    Cheers

    Crystal is the worst for what you get. Got it and the quest 3.
    Sorry the Pimax company are just robbers how they did their marketing. 1699 euro for an uncomfortable head set and absolutely none of the features they said would come with it. Sorry for that price those dmax ear phones should have come with it and also they could have just made those with the lighthouse face plate. Tracking is rubbish with controllers. For the price I expect a great tracking comfortable good sounding heat set.
    Sorry that’s where I think pimax are the slimiest out of all.

Instead, install the freeware Steam Link on both the PC and the Quest 3. Steam Link works wirelessly, just like Virtual Desktop, it's a new software half a year old. I use AV1 codec, with automatic Bitrate setting. Note: the codec in RTX 40xx is 40% faster than in RTX 30xx.
