The best fix against blurry images is adjusting your expectations to something more realistic. I think many people, myself included were at first disappointed by the blurry images because we see the 4k representations of these VR games all over UA-cam but that is not in fact the quality you get when looking through these lenses.
100% agree, I was almost about to send it back and ask for refund, I ve been hyped looking for youtube videos for hours. One last question though, the colors are less vivid with the headset too right? Lol
I think that aswell. However, I remember using these cheap ass vr headset which you could use for samsung smartphone years ago, and putting on the psvr2 didnt really felt any better than that (from the lenses quality). The psvr2 really couldnt convince me for 600 bucks. Might consider buying it again when it gets cheaper. But for now idk. The only reason I would really like to buy it again would be to play Pavlov. Because it was insanely fun. Zenith was also cool but it gave me motion sickness pretty quick.
@@dozyd8217you can't refund vr once it was used I took it to the shop just taken out of the box they found literally one hair on it I said I took it out of the box never put it on my head that's the truth I asked them if they find a spe of dust is that going to be enough? It's up to the shop staff and believe me they don't want any refunds. They are allowed not to refund you a headset
Amazing! Thank you very much for pointing out that one should not expect a crystal-clear rendering output in-game. I say this because some reviews suggest, or even show supposed in-game examples of crystal-clear rendering/output across the whole 3D environment. In my case having just purchased a headset a few days ago, I have found the image quality to be an acquired taste although of a very high standard! but nonetheless, not quite like looking at a flat HD screen. I started to wonder if I was missing something or possibly making some kind of mistake. But you have helped me to adjust my expectations perfectly, and along with your great set-up tips, I think that I can now enjoy my PSVR2 completely. Thank you very much indeed for an awesome and honest review! 🙂
The Globular Cluster CMP2 comfortable mod for the PSVR2 is the best and the ultimate solution for the PSVR2 sweet spot problems, I installed yesterday on my psvr2 and my sweet spot problems are definitely gone, everything is clearly now without any blurriness and it keeps the headset in place and it doesn't move anymore like it did before with the stock sony psvr2 pads, i don't have to keep adjusting the headset anymore because it stays and keeps everything in place no matter how much you move your head, I'm really happy with it, and i definitely recommend it 💯%
I have read and watched one more advice also, reducing the brightness from 100% (which is the default) to somewhere between 70% - 50%, and this reduce the Mura effect if it was visible, also makes it less grainy or blurry. But I am not sure about that, since I still didn't buy one yet.
@Eat Sleep VR yeah what he is saying is correct go into the settings turn your saturation setting and the other setting to Max. Then go into the quick menu on the headset and drop the brightness to around 50% to 75 and it makes a huge difference especially in Gran Turismo
Nice video, I had huge expectations of the PSVR2 after watching all those youtube reviews how amazing it is. Bought it and in first few min was very disappointed of the image quality, especially cause of those blurred sides. Now I know it is normal, but I was really expecting it to be crystal clear (not 1990 tv clear, but not the 4k crystal clear). After using it for a while I got used to image quality and like it a lot since all the rest (hand tracking, interaction with the game ) is really immersive,. But my question is if PSVR2 is considered one of the best VR on the market how the owners of other VR headsets shall feel?... Already waiting PSVR3 :D
For me I think the Quest 2 is still the better overall VR experience all in one headset but if you already have a PS5 then I suppose it makes sense to buy the psvr2. The biggest factor other than the blur issues is the cost of games on PSVR2 compared to Quest 2 and there’s no refund policy which is excellent with the Q2. It’s all good though in that it’s pushing the vr industry forward and there’s more pressure now on meta with the q3 and also on apple with whatever they bring out. Thanks for the comment
I totally agree, I sent mine back after three weeks of use.. The worst thing for me is the general head placement fit, it is way behind the Sony vr1 , I put the vr1 on and there's no messing about with a sweet spot and random adjustments . The vr2 is a stunning bit of kit but I will wait for a much better deal on price and extras etc. Like the Sony vr1 any problems will be put right in a updated version.
@@hovermotion My guess is with PSVR1 the entire image is blurry because it is running at a much lower resolution so the blur outside of the sweet spot is not noticeable. I had the same initial impression as you. After using it for awhile, I am getting used to moving my head instead of the eyes to maintain the sweet spot.
Just purchased mine and going to return it. I can't get over the blur outside of the focus area. I have the Index and Quest 2 and like them both better. The PSVR2 has the best image quality in the focus area but I want it all to be clear. I plugged it into my PC and set it up as a second monitor. Was thinking it would be an inexpensive way to do 1080P 120Hz OLED but after playing Diablo IV on it I just didn't like only having a clear image where I was looking in the game. I thought it was a PS5 software thing that was controlling the focus point but apparently it's built into the hardware. Because of this it's going back.
I don't mind the image not being as clear as the 2d image on a monitor. What I find strange on the ps vr 2, is that in a game with dim lighting, for example resident evil village, it gets so grainy that it almost completely blocks the view. This does not happen in well lit arias or where it should be completely dark. This has nothing to do with the clarity of the image, the image is in focus.
Well damn, if blurriness is normal on the edges, the quest 2 is far ahead of its time. I really don't have any blurriness on my quest 2. I can see clearly all around the lenses and can read small text super easy.
@@techsamurai11 Quest 3 will have higher resolution but the Quest pro is meant to be better at dealing with the black levels. I’m not sure about the field of view differences - it will be interesting to compare for sure.
@@EatSleepVR Both the Quest Pro and Quest 3 have pancake lenses, right as opposed to Fresnel? I knew nothing about VR the other day but I assumed the PSVR2 was perfect in terms of picture quality especially with high-res oled screens as I own a PS5 and know how good Sony TVs are. It wasn't until the Vision Pro and the ability to watch movies with a larger viewport that everyone started digging into this😂 Suddenly, everyone is scratching their head and asking "did they just say micro oled - did they mean micro led? what is micro oled?" Everyone's saying get a PSVR2 instead but then other people are saying "it's blurry" or "has mura" 😂 Now we know that Sony makes the micro oled screens that the Vision Pro will use and sadly the PSVR2 uses pentile oled instead of regular oled subpixel displays. Vision Pro has certainly stirred the proverbial or, in this case, virtual pot!!!
The strap is the problem I took off the psvr1 strap and put it on the psvr2 and now it works fantastically, my eyes just could not adjust to the psvr2 no matter what I did, it would constantly go out of focus by slipping up in the back and other problems. I feel people may not understand why they don't like the psvr2 and its the eye adjustment. If its to complicated for you to do what I did with the strap I would recommend getting a third party strap that might work which one I don't know.
Also many people need prescription glasses. I thought there was something wrong with the psvr2. I checked my eyes, turns out I'm -1.00 in both eyes. Ordered prescription glasses, now I see super clear. But 1st, follow what the video says in case this is the problem and not your eyes.
The IPD seems best when closest together but its rough on the nose.....i didnt have this issue on PSVR 1.....Sony needs an upgraded model with pancake lense.
I tried so much, i just couldnt fix the blurryness. The most perfect fit for me was still blurry to me. So I returned it. I had so much fun playing Pavlov. Maybe its just my eyes, because I have trouble seeing things that are further away. Maybe buying glasses would fix it
I'm really disappointed to hear that the PSVR2's images are blurry even if you do all these things. I find it crazy in 2023 that this would be the case for a leading VR product. Thank you for mentioning the possible solutions but it seems that the sides still remain blurry - so much for VR. You saved me the trouble and pain of buying one even though I was seriously considering it.
Nice clear tips! Yes all great advice! tried it all but eventually I had to return the set. Great h set but v small sweet spot. I could live with that and they will improve it eventually, but what made me return the headset was the Software, which bored me after a couple of days . I hope it will improve once they integrate AI /speech recognition into the mix and start developing software with less killing /shooting /destruction. Come on software developers you have made great strides in the graphical interface / hardware - but make more software that appeals to older users with some everyday functionality and humanity!
Thanks for the comment, yes I was surprised at the small sweet spot even compared to the Quest 2 - good point about older users - I suppose they are just hammering the younger demographic as this is where the money is for them
@@EatSleepVR yes I was a bit embarrassed to be buying a ps5 to access the psvr2 at my ripe age! but I agree the games seem to be aimed at the younger people, and yes they have money to spend but the older demographic have even more money to spend..!, and may find vr very useful when they become immobile/retired. The software needs to appeal to this age group too as it seems there is little available. Im waiting now to see if meta has learned any lessons with the next quest 3 Im not holding my breath!
Estou com problema que logos após a compra do meu, no mesmo dia que comprei limpei as lentes com o paninho de fibra e a visão do vr ficou simplesmente serrilhada, o que mais percebo é no gran turismo 7, ninguém sabe nada sobre isso e ninguém comenta sobre, vou ter que trocar o meu infelizmente
I got to admit im quiet disappinted in the headset, my quest 2 had lower resolution but was almost never blury and easy to adjust, simple games like job simulator look great on the quest 2 but not better amd often worse in psvr2. Iv soent ages trying to get the selweet spot but is shouldnt be that hard
My issue isn't the film grain, but when I tried horizon call of the mountain everything was super blurry or fuzzy.... Ive tried turning down the brightness, reposition the headset a bunch of times and redone eye tracking a bunch of times, other less detailed games like pavlov seem fine but im very disappointed with horizon. Any help would be appreciated!
@CzarCustom unfortunately no, you get use to it tho, as someone else said our expectations where set too high due to watching crystal clear videos on UA-cam and the psvr2 isint as clear as your phone screen etc. Once you get into the action of a game for so long it's less noticeable.
My Problem is just that only when i push the lenses in my eye with an hand, than i can see the good quality but i cannot get my lenses any closer to me. Its just when i press it more with my hand i see the 4K
You are the only reviewer that I found, that talks about that foveated rendering is not working in Most games. I would even go as far and say ist does Not Work at all for me. It really bothers me since it seems Like absolutely false advertising. Or my Headset is broken. I saw reviewers, where one was looking at the TV Screen and the other was playing with the psvr2. The one in the psvr2 claimed he cannot See what ist Not Sharp since everywhere he ist looking it is Sharp. The other one at the TV was able to see were he was looking. In my case e.g. in Horizon it is only sharp where i turn my head. And you can clearly See it rendering at the Moment you Look at it. I really wonder if this "reviewers" get payed by Sony or If my Headset is broken. I can live with the shortcomings since it is still incredible immersive. But i am really pissed about this kind of false advertising. Unfortunately i cannot look at other Headsets to compare. In a Reddit Post they wrote it is Not about the foveated rendering Not working, but rather about the fresnel lenses that cannot make anything Sharp except in the middle of the lense. That would really sucks and i would gladly have payed 200€ more for better lenses If this is true... I really Hope it is only a Software issue....
Thanks for your comment. From what I’ve read the foveated rendering will work within the limited area of the sweet spot as you say due to the limitation of the lenses. I don’t feel like I’ve really experienced it yet with this headset either but I assumed it wasn’t active in all games - I’m not the most technical channel so I might be wrong. But you should be able to look from the centre to the edge of the sweet spot and the focus will shift - i suppose it maybe too fast to notice the shift I’m not sure. I have the Quest pro and in red matter 2 the foveated rendering is very clear to notice but that has pancake lenses. To a person watching the video feed of the psvr2 though I’m pretty sure that they cannot see where the player is looking, they just get a clean image of the whole screen. There is definitely blur in the images but how much is very subjective and that is partly the problem with reviews as well.
Re foveated rendering not working, I've read that astigmatism can cause this. I suffer from astigmatism and FR does not work for me. But, I just move my head to find sharpness. Not a big deal for me.
@@EatSleepVR Wouldn't you see the foveated rendering in videos taken by channels like Digital Foundry? The output on the screen has to be the same as what's projected to the PSVR2. When John Linneman looks around in his PSVR2, then parts of it must become more detailed etc.
@@techsamurai11 the level of knowledge digital foundary has is way beyond my technical knowledge so I would definitely rely on them more than me for technical stuff. I have only experienced FR on the quest pro so I’m not sure about the psvr2. The pro will trump the Quest 3 in this regard though because it doesn’t have it as far as I know.
Yes unless the game uses foveated rendering in which case I think the edges would focus but only when you look at them with your eyes not by turning your head.
Yes believe all the blurriness is user error. I am an old PCVR user. So I knew how to put on my headset and what to look out for. My inmage is pretty much clear. I love the headset.
Agreed, SS is hard to find at first, but there's a massive improvement when dialled in. Yes, checking eyes is VERY important. Most people don't realise how critical it is, believing there eyesight is great. I went to optometrist. Ordered lens inserts for my headset. My old glasses were just not up the job.
@@supercededman maybe that was really my problem. Because IRL i see things that are further away really bad and blurry aswell. But the fact when you look at the edges it gets insanely blurry - and its not even because of my eyes - is turning me off
I wish the image was sharp as the tv, to me is to blurry, im almost finishing horizon, everything is so blurry, cant even look to the hands properly, tried every position possible and even checked my eyes, but no fixes for me, or this is normal or my vr2 is broken
I think I have found the sweet spot, although, when bringing items in game or looking at my hands within the sweet spot, they are still very blurry and cannot read anything upclose. Is this normal?
Your hands should be the most focussed so if they are really blurry then is sounds like something isn’t right. With your hands in front of you see if you can adjust the headset so that they become focussed. They won’t be as sharp as a flat ps5 game but they shouldn’t be really blurry.
@Eat Sleep VR I have adjusted and adjusted till it can't get any clearer. I would rephrase though, it isn't so much blurry, just a lack of detail that I can confuse with blurriness. Although the rest is as crisp as I can get and exceeding my expectations!
@@EatSleepVR It doesn't have anything to do with lack of detail. It's known as vergence accommodation conflict and has to do with everything being displayed at the same focal distance in VR. Your brain has a hard time focusing on up close objects. You can trick your eyes by looking at something in the distance with something like your hands up close and they will get clearer. I've also noticed that up close objects have gotten clearer the more I play. So it appears the brain can be trained to adapt to it. I don't think it affects everyone.
Does someone has some issues about incoming light from the sides? I noticed this when I was on the PlayStation menue and locked back at the Black Screen. Not much light but I noticed it.
I was cleaning my lenses with a microfibre cloth but I was still using my breath to clean it up. Did I permanently damage the lenses or I'm still safe?
I'm just praying to God this new patch they rolled out this morning fixes the controller issues. I left your controller refuses to work in Horizon. my right controller refuses to work in Resident Evil. Both controllers work just fine and all the menus. With as many people as this is affecting I know it's a software issue and I know I just received a notification at work that a new update was out today for the controllers. I pray to God this fixes the issue because I want to play other games not just GranTurismo
This was fixed in a recent update. In RE8 what I had to do previously was power off the left hand controller, then press X in game and then power back on the left controller. It worked after that. After the most recent update it's no longer necessary. Looks to have been resolved right before the in-store launch.
so many things. as a ps vr2 owner I can say the tech is not there yet. I mean you can still enjoy nice vr experience but its not as practical as you are thinking it should be. maybe wireless vr3 in 2030?
How are they going to get the performance of a dedicated computer inside a headset. I don’t think the wire is ideal but it’s not a huge deal. What’s more important is how lifelike the VR is. By time VR3 comes out, I imagine the industry will be there with true 4k real looking graphics for kinda affordable prices. But it’s awesome Sony did such a good job with this product it sounds like. It will be very interesting if someone finds a way in next 5-10 years to get true 4k looking visuals in a wireless setup. Don’t know how they are going to pull it off.
The headset doesn’t look blurry to me, just hella grainy and not nearly as sharp as the quest 3, especially with things that are further away. Is it supposed to be that way, or am I messing something up with the setup?
Btw at the beginning when I got my psvr2 my brother cleaned the lenses with those wet wipes (without alcohol) and then wiped it again to dry it with tissue paper. A day later I cleaned them again with micro fiber. Did it damage the lenses permanently? Might that be the reason it was blurry to me?
I probably need glasses but j heard you not supposed to wear them hnder headset that u can get some attachments I wonder hom much do they cost. I'm disappointed altho I do all the things you say myself it feels cheap and I can't say I have good experience playing but they don't ask you when u buy it if u wear glasses and then they don't accept returns at the shop that was also not mentioned. Because its the device you wear on your head. Disappointed in ps5 and the headset.
What is the point of fated rendering when the dumbass lens technology innately blurs the edges of the screen. I just don’t get it, what a stupid design move for the longevity of this product. Also, I’m surprised you didn’t do more research, the reason it’s blurred isn’t because of the lack of fated rendering, it’s because of the lens technology. I don’t understand how these guys are professional reviewers.
Objective fact: VR is garbage. It's blurred by low res., yet some are happy due to having at most no sense of quality, because their cavemanminds tell them, "yay, vr!". Always..... QUA...LI...TY... FIRST.
Tried everything but extremally disappointed with this overpriced ($850 CAD) piece of junk. If you are looking to adjust "each" time you remove the headset and have blurry images then go ahead and buy it, otherwise stay away...

Correct, blurry images only happen when the headset is not adjusted correctly, it is not a headset problem, it is a user problem.
Or reprojection ghosting causing motion blur in games like RE8 and Horizon. Funny how every youtuber thinks it's something that can be fixed.

Come on software developers you have made great strides in the graphical interface / hardware - but make more software that appeals to older users with some everyday functionality and humanity!
Thanks for the comment, yes I was surprised at the small sweet spot even compared to the Quest 2 - good point about older users - I suppose they are just hammering the younger demographic as this is where the money is for them
@@EatSleepVR yes I was a bit embarrassed to be buying a ps5 to access the psvr2 at my ripe age! but I agree the games seem to be aimed at the younger people, and yes they have money to spend but the older demographic have even more money to spend..!, and may find vr very useful when they become immobile/retired. The software needs to appeal to this age group too as it seems there is little available. Im waiting now to see if meta has learned any lessons with the next quest 3 Im not holding my breath!
Just the words on screen look blurry to me
Yeah I thought this thing was supposed to be crystal clear now Oliver suddenly a load of videos coming out saying it's blurry
Of course it doesn't matter since the VR will never look 4k. Doesn't even look 1080p
Greetings from Bavaria to you✌️🧐Thanks for your Informations 👍🤓
Why not breath on your lenses? I mean, wouldn’t it be more harmful sweating in your headset and fogging the lenses?
Estou com problema que logos após a compra do meu, no mesmo dia que comprei limpei as lentes com o paninho de fibra e a visão do vr ficou simplesmente serrilhada, o que mais percebo é no gran turismo 7, ninguém sabe nada sobre isso e ninguém comenta sobre, vou ter que trocar o meu infelizmente
I got to admit im quiet disappinted in the headset, my quest 2 had lower resolution but was almost never blury and easy to adjust, simple games like job simulator look great on the quest 2 but not better amd often worse in psvr2. Iv soent ages trying to get the selweet spot but is shouldnt be that hard
Hi gt video I have the grainy mura in dark areas, turning down brightness does not help, any ideas regards
My issue isn't the film grain, but when I tried horizon call of the mountain everything was super blurry or fuzzy....
Ive tried turning down the brightness, reposition the headset a bunch of times and redone eye tracking a bunch of times, other less detailed games like pavlov seem fine but im very disappointed with horizon. Any help would be appreciated!
Same thing happening to me right now, did you found a fix?
@CzarCustom unfortunately no, you get use to it tho, as someone else said our expectations where set too high due to watching crystal clear videos on UA-cam and the psvr2 isint as clear as your phone screen etc.
Once you get into the action of a game for so long it's less noticeable.
My Problem is just that only when i push the lenses in my eye with an hand, than i can see the good quality but i cannot get my lenses any closer to me. Its just when i press it more with my hand i see the 4K
You are the only reviewer that I found, that talks about that foveated rendering is not working in Most games.
I would even go as far and say ist does Not Work at all for me.
It really bothers me since it seems Like absolutely false advertising. Or my Headset is broken.
I saw reviewers, where one was looking at the TV Screen and the other was playing with the psvr2. The one in the psvr2 claimed he cannot See what ist Not Sharp since everywhere he ist looking it is Sharp.
The other one at the TV was able to see were he
was looking.
In my case e.g. in Horizon it is only sharp where i turn my head. And you can clearly See it rendering at the Moment you Look at it.
I really wonder if this "reviewers" get payed by Sony or If my Headset is broken.
I can live with the shortcomings since it is still incredible immersive. But i am really pissed about this kind of false advertising.
Unfortunately i cannot look at other Headsets to compare.
In a Reddit Post they wrote it is Not about the foveated rendering Not working, but rather about the fresnel lenses that cannot make anything Sharp except in the middle of the lense. That would really sucks and i would gladly have payed 200€ more for better lenses If this is true...
I really Hope it is only a Software issue....
Thanks for your comment. From what I’ve read the foveated rendering will work within the limited area of the sweet spot as you say due to the limitation of the lenses. I don’t feel like I’ve really experienced it yet with this headset either but I assumed it wasn’t active in all games - I’m not the most technical channel so I might be wrong. But you should be able to look from the centre to the edge of the sweet spot and the focus will shift - i suppose it maybe too fast to notice the shift I’m not sure. I have the Quest pro and in red matter 2 the foveated rendering is very clear to notice but that has pancake lenses. To a person watching the video feed of the psvr2 though I’m pretty sure that they cannot see where the player is looking, they just get a clean image of the whole screen. There is definitely blur in the images but how much is very subjective and that is partly the problem with reviews as well.
Re foveated rendering not working, I've read that astigmatism can cause this.
I suffer from astigmatism and FR does not work for me. But, I just move my head to find sharpness. Not a big deal for me.
@@karlwest437 FR allows for more targeted and efficient rendering of a smaller area?
Less processing power required?
@@EatSleepVR Wouldn't you see the foveated rendering in videos taken by channels like Digital Foundry? The output on the screen has to be the same as what's projected to the PSVR2. When John Linneman looks around in his PSVR2, then parts of it must become more detailed etc.
@@techsamurai11 the level of knowledge digital foundary has is way beyond my technical knowledge so I would definitely rely on them more than me for technical stuff. I have only experienced FR on the quest pro so I’m not sure about the psvr2. The pro will trump the Quest 3 in this regard though because it doesn’t have it as far as I know.
So the edges will always be Blurry?
Yes unless the game uses foveated rendering in which case I think the edges would focus but only when you look at them with your eyes not by turning your head.
Non sono d’accordo sugli occhiali da lettura. Io li porto…. E senza vedo più sfocato. Lo stesso mi accade col g2.
Interesting to know - for me when I used my reading glasses it was worse - it must vary from one person to the next - thanks for the comment
Great tips
Yes believe all the blurriness is user error. I am an old PCVR user. So I knew how to put on my headset and what to look out for. My inmage is pretty much clear. I love the headset.
Agreed, SS is hard to find at first, but there's a massive improvement when dialled in.
Yes, checking eyes is VERY important. Most people don't realise how critical it is, believing there eyesight is great.
I went to optometrist. Ordered lens inserts for my headset. My old glasses were just not up the job.
@@supercededman maybe that was really my problem. Because IRL i see things that are further away really bad and blurry aswell. But the fact when you look at the edges it gets insanely blurry - and its not even because of my eyes - is turning me off
@@Justme-jp8ih I've had my lens inserts for a little while now. Dramatic difference.
I wish the image was sharp as the tv, to me is to blurry, im almost finishing horizon, everything is so blurry, cant even look to the hands properly, tried every position possible and even checked my eyes, but no fixes for me, or this is normal or my vr2 is broken
It's normal because mine is the same way
When the psvr1 was released it came with a cleaning cloth. Why did the vr2 not?
It’s crazy - such an important accessory and very little cost!
I think I have found the sweet spot, although, when bringing items in game or looking at my hands within the sweet spot, they are still very blurry and cannot read anything upclose. Is this normal?
Your hands should be the most focussed so if they are really blurry then is sounds like something isn’t right. With your hands in front of you see if you can adjust the headset so that they become focussed. They won’t be as sharp as a flat ps5 game but they shouldn’t be really blurry.
@Eat Sleep VR I have adjusted and adjusted till it can't get any clearer. I would rephrase though, it isn't so much blurry, just a lack of detail that I can confuse with blurriness. Although the rest is as crisp as I can get and exceeding my expectations!
@@chrisyork9538 I think if it’s lack of detail and not blur then this is what’s to be expected
@@EatSleepVR It doesn't have anything to do with lack of detail. It's known as vergence accommodation conflict and has to do with everything being displayed at the same focal distance in VR. Your brain has a hard time focusing on up close objects. You can trick your eyes by looking at something in the distance with something like your hands up close and they will get clearer. I've also noticed that up close objects have gotten clearer the more I play. So it appears the brain can be trained to adapt to it. I don't think it affects everyone.
@@danielmckibbin1979 thanks that’s interesting, I didn’t know that - thanks for commenting 👍
Does someone has some issues about incoming light from the sides? I noticed this when I was on the PlayStation menue and locked back at the Black Screen. Not much light but I noticed it.
I don’t but I have read some people have so I think it must just be different face shapes
I was cleaning my lenses with a microfibre cloth but I was still using my breath to clean it up. Did I permanently damage the lenses or I'm still safe?
What does the manual say to use ?
There are acids in your breath that can damage lens coatings - it will be fine but just try to avoid doing it
@@EatSleepVR I probably did it less than 10 times, should be fine I hope. Thank you very much!
@@Space_Zippy I did think of going to hell when I realized what I have done, thank you for telling me that won't be the case ;)
I cant remember where i saw it but one person on a yotuube video said you had to put the headset as far down as possible and that is just wrong lol
Yeah I think I remember seeing that and that definitely didn’t work for me lol
I'm just praying to God this new patch they rolled out this morning fixes the controller issues. I left your controller refuses to work in Horizon. my right controller refuses to work in Resident Evil. Both controllers work just fine and all the menus. With as many people as this is affecting I know it's a software issue and I know I just received a notification at work that a new update was out today for the controllers. I pray to God this fixes the issue because I want to play other games not just GranTurismo
This was fixed in a recent update. In RE8 what I had to do previously was power off the left hand controller, then press X in game and then power back on the left controller. It worked after that. After the most recent update it's no longer necessary. Looks to have been resolved right before the in-store launch.
so many things. as a ps vr2 owner I can say the tech is not there yet. I mean you can still enjoy nice vr experience but its not as practical as you are thinking it should be. maybe wireless vr3 in 2030?
Yes managing expectations is a big thing - thanks for the comment
How are they going to get the performance of a dedicated computer inside a headset. I don’t think the wire is ideal but it’s not a huge deal. What’s more important is how lifelike the VR is. By time VR3 comes out, I imagine the industry will be there with true 4k real looking graphics for kinda affordable prices. But it’s awesome Sony did such a good job with this product it sounds like. It will be very interesting if someone finds a way in next 5-10 years to get true 4k looking visuals in a wireless setup. Don’t know how they are going to pull it off.
For each friend will test my VR2 i will need calibrate again? Or them can use my own config?
Yup.
The headset doesn’t look blurry to me, just hella grainy and not nearly as sharp as the quest 3, especially with things that are further away. Is it supposed to be that way, or am I messing something up with the setup?
Depends on the game, but it’s just not quite as sharp
there was a recent update that fixed 90% of the blurriness I had
Yes I need to update and see if it’s fixed the issue - thanks
Right, so I think I’m getting it, I will never be able to sharpen the image outside of the centre, I should focus only on the middle?
Unfortunately that seems to be the case as that is the sweet spot
@@EatSleepVR thanks, not gonna lie I got sucked into “this is the best vr yet” so I was expecting flat screen performance.
Btw at the beginning when I got my psvr2 my brother cleaned the lenses with those wet wipes (without alcohol) and then wiped it again to dry it with tissue paper. A day later I cleaned them again with micro fiber. Did it damage the lenses permanently? Might that be the reason it was blurry to me?
IT’s not recommended but I don’t think this would cause damage straightaway
Will glasses to VR lenses actually cause irreparable damage?
I probably need glasses but j heard you not supposed to wear them hnder headset that u can get some attachments I wonder hom much do they cost. I'm disappointed altho I do all the things you say myself it feels cheap and I can't say I have good experience playing but they don't ask you when u buy it if u wear glasses and then they don't accept returns at the shop that was also not mentioned. Because its the device you wear on your head. Disappointed in ps5 and the headset.
Good video
Everything is a little blurry, and the edges are extra blurry
Depends on the game to be honest. Pavlov is the game with the cleanest image lol
It's OK, I don't have hair 😂
😂
What ever you do, the image is always blurry. I can‘t understand how people can call this 4k.
I agree - I sold mine - I much prefer the quest 2 and 3
@@EatSleepVR I‘ve ordered a Quest 3 now, can‘t wait to try it out. I hope, I will prefer it like you do.
@@DannyTheYugoslavI’d be interested to know what you think once you get it 👍
Still blurry it was made blurry faje 3k res refund
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What is the point of fated rendering when the dumbass lens technology innately blurs the edges of the screen. I just don’t get it, what a stupid design move for the longevity of this product. Also, I’m surprised you didn’t do more research, the reason it’s blurred isn’t because of the lack of fated rendering, it’s because of the lens technology. I don’t understand how these guys are professional reviewers.
Don't use your shirt, no... that's why you did it.
Objective fact: VR is garbage. It's blurred by low res., yet some are happy due to having at most no sense of quality, because their cavemanminds tell them, "yay, vr!". Always..... QUA...LI...TY... FIRST.
Bull.they just updated the psvr for blurriness. 😆 🤣 😂
Tried everything but extremally disappointed with this overpriced ($850 CAD) piece of junk. If you are looking to adjust "each" time you remove the headset and have blurry images then go ahead and buy it, otherwise stay away...
I’m interested to try it after the latest update, not sure if it’s made a difference.
