Best Possible Image Quality Headset?

Baldbloke · 24 Oct 2021 at 14:03

I've got an Oculus Quest 2 128gb. It's fine. It also seems very good value compared to the other headsets available. It is only ever used for PCVR content. Sim racing only.
I've read that the HP reverb G2 is better when it comes to image quality. Worth the extra money?

What headset, in your opinion, gives the best possible image quality.

Will there be a Quest 3 any time soon? Worth waiting?

Thank you Zeeflyboy.
Varjo Aero. Had a quick google. Hmm, interesting but very expensive. Just under 2000 euro (£1700-ish). I don't think I'm going to open my wallet that far

I do have a 3080ti FE so I thought to myself, 'If I'm willing to spend a grand on a gpu then shouldn't I be willing to splash out on a decent HMD to reap the benefits of such a gpu?'

But £1700 beer tokens for a Varj Aero is a bit too much for me.

What are the alternatives under a grand?

I'll do as you suggest. Wait for the Facebook Connect on the 28th.
Btw, what's a Pimax Event?
Edit: Oh, I see Pimax is a manufacturer.

No rush for me. It's an idle thought about upgrading.

Aero is £1700 *plus* tax so £2040 plus controllers / base stations which brings cost to £2600.

Ouch! Definitely not on my my shopping list then.

Well, I was surprised at some of the prices on these top end headsets. I hadn't realised they were so expensive. In excess of a grand is far too much money for me to outlay on such a vr device.
I'm just going to wait and see what new, less expensive headsets get released over the next few months.
