Did VR make you want a bigger monitor?

[newuser]

I was perfectly happy sitting back from my 32" with a gamepad.
After VR I ended up with a 43" so I could see blurry sides in my peripheral vision.
I could maybe do a 55" TV after going at the alcove with a hammer.

 

[DD_Crash]

No, a smaller one actually.

 

[chroniclard]

No, 27" fine for me.

 

[Unseul]

Had 32 inch before hand, still fits me perfectly as it allows me to have 2 vertical browser windows side by side.

A TV wider than your alcove is very very *****. < haha pathetic censorship on here these days. The type of big fish that eat ducks if we're doing hobocode. Get that hammer out

I know what you mean though. Just got a reverb G2 so I'm wondering why everything (TV, real life) isn't a blur fest now outside of 2 square centimetres in the middle. Only joking! It's bloody awesome. My first VR headset ever and I'm blown away.

I wear varifocals so everything looks like VR to me...
Congrats on the G2, hell of a place to start.

When I was monitor/TV shopping I drew the outlines of all the sizes I was looking at on a whiteboard at work then spent a while sitting in front of it. 55 might have been a bit much, hammering aside.

If I wasnt editing photos I would have sold my g-sync monitor

 

[Ja5peruk]

No, a run triple 32's thats enough for me

 

[NightSt@lk3r]

Makes me want to get rid of the monitors altogether.

 

[chaparral]

No..I think my 35" UW is a perfect size

 

[Jumpjim]

I've got a 49" wide Samsung G9 but it's largely irrelevant when I am plugged in to my Reverb G2 tbh!

 

[user2000]

Surely doesn't matter what size monitor you have if you have the expanse of VR?

I guess the problem is many games are not in VR…. Technically you could play them flat in VR on a large virtual monitor using eg VorpX but seems like a faff.

Some games are better flat, Ass Creeds and the like. I found my monitor lacking after trying the VR thing. Cool username BTW.

I had a big ultrawide before I got VR. VR's fov can be a little claustrophobic and narrow, so I'd rather a bigger VR.

 

[Kautya]

Not necessarily, feel content with my 27".

 

[Phil2008]

I have a 49" ultra wide and playing dirt rally doesnt really feel much difference then on my quest 2, accept the quest 2 causes my eyes to get tired quite fast for some reason. It maybe that Im just not use to it and in time the tiredness will go away.

 

[feck199]

No but it did make me book laser eye surgery... so that put the cost up a little bit just to ply a few games.

Same, have the CRG90 49" ultrawide, and a Rift S.

Sometimes I like MSFS in VR, sometimes on the monitor so I can use my panels and do some other stuff on a long cruise.

current 34" UW does it for me fine
