You can blame me when you don't like it
I don't know if this has been mentioned in the thread, but for anyone who suffers from a visible straight screen edge, try adjusting your eyes' distance from the lens.
I've had varying situations with 3rd party face gaskets and pads and so-on where this has been an issue with one method, but not with another. The OEM gasket was fine for me in that respect, but very uncomfortable, so I purchased the VR Covers gasket. This was an improvement in several ways, but suddenly the screen edge was very apparent. I put the glasses stand-off frame between the headset and the gasket and voila! Sorted. I don't wear specs, I use prescription VR lenses with all my headsets, but I've kept that spacer in place regardless of gasket and not seen the screen edge again.
Just a note on the face gaskets pack you can buy from Oculus. I ordered them because I was finding that I constantly got a feeling that the edges of the OEM gasket were too close to my eyes and was bugging me in my play sessions. I thought the wider gasket/interface would be best, but in fact the narrow one fits me better. However, regardless of which gasket I use I still get that feeling and have been unable to get rid of it. Just a heads up
Lastly, this was my solution to the Elite headstrap being too hard at the rear head cup - I've since cut the frills off to ease use of headphones. Laugh all you like - it's now easily the comfiest headset I've used!
Well the Q2 was definitely the right choice, I can't believe how good it is! And...I've only played standalone so far
Cheers melmac!
Just played Vader Immortal, once the wife is prised away from it I'll get desktop installed and try some wireless streaming.

But, your images have stopped working since this morning.

Whew!! dodged a bullet there
The Quest 2 is awesome. I take it by your lack of replies since the 10th that you haven't managed to get it back off the wife yet?
Thanks for the suggestion. The headset is only days old so the USB-C socket should not really require cleaning. That said, I have had a look in the socket with a torch, I have blown air in it and I have had a gentle little poke around with a dental pick but there appears to be nothing obvious in the socket itself that might be causing the issue.
Compared to, for example, another headset, say a Reverb G2, it has a 4320x2160 resolution. How it works in this case, running a quest2 is a major sacrifice for pc when using the 1.7x render (since the resolution is 5408x2736) ?
