not seen this mentioned here (maybe I need specsavers lol) but its looking good so far if this quick first hands on is anything to go by?

I think im more looking forward to this than anything now.

thoughts?

yes that's what I want for simracing only,and if the price is right it could do really well.

regards the screens I don't know,i guess we will have to wait until late april for when it comes out...hopefully.

I 'almost' bought a pimax 5k+ off the bay Monday,then I heard about the HP and thought I would hang on.

I had the Lenovo too at one point and yes it was a pain initially to get working (eventually used steam beta vr)but worked flawless after that.

where did you buy yours Bishie?

fastboy · 13 Apr 2019 at 14:31

well,since I wont be using the wmr controls and im only sat down for sim racing, the tracking is more than enough..so given a choice of better visuals and better comfort or better hand controls and separate tracking towers, for me its a no brainer

I have had the rift and a Lenovo headset,both worked good for sim racing,the tracking on the Lenovo was no worse than the rift but the clarity was better altho the sweetspot was bad.

so no..I wont be better of waiting for headsets with poorer clarity.

theres also the acer now which looks on paper like it could be better than the HP,i will buy whatever is best suited for the task at hand,whatever happens its looking a good year for us regarding VR

yea im the same dan..I have a lovely 1080ti

don't really want to upgrade.

not seen anything yet

fastboy · 22 Apr 2019 at 09:59

its supposed to be on going on sale on the 25th yet I haven't even seen it advertised anywhere?

fastboy · 24 Apr 2019 at 11:19

yes but even so,you would think there would be some kind of adverts floating about,,strange

fastboy · 28 Apr 2019 at 22:55

only place I have seen it is on the rainforest usa...preorder says 1-3 months

fastboy · 6 May 2019 at 09:32

I recall on twitter some uk rep mentioning it would be acouple of weeks before it goes on sale in the UK

pretty frustrating the complete lack of knowledge the UK HP team have on this unit..

saw this someone posted on iracing forums just now:

I have a Samsung odyssey,,,is the rift s going to be asidegrade ?

fastboy · 6 May 2019 at 20:34

already posted 2 posts above...clearly something wrong with your optics

fastboy · 6 May 2019 at 20:41

yea I have an odyssey and just looking for a little bit more clarity,the Rift S doesn't look like its going to cut it so it only leaves me the HP,Acer OJO or an imported pimax.

fastboy · 7 May 2019 at 10:31

yes the rift s is clearer than the old rift..but how much clearer than the OG Odyssey

fastboy · 7 May 2019 at 13:06

just from what I saw on youtube reviews a while ago but not seen any comparisons vs an odyssey
