This will be the VR headset to buy right now

Lack of second camera for positional tracking is an oversight in my opinion but suppose that can easily be changed from here until launch.

Looking forward to more competition in this space though.
 
LCD Screen....NOPE

Also a single camera is not a great tracking system, as Oculus have shown us (and they absolutely don't recommend 1 for headset + controllers, 2 minimum).

If it was OLED at that res, and they'd licensed the lighthouse tech (which anyone can do now), then I'd be interested.
 
I think all of these systems are going to suddenly feel very dated when inside out tracking is established properly. I'm interested to see how the Microsoft designs work out.
 
While competition is good in the marketplace, it's products like this that will kill VR. People will buy it because it looks like a Vive but is half the price. They will try it and find the experience to be junk and there to be no content for it and then write off VR as rubbish.

Why, is LCD screen not good?

LCD can't respond/refresh quickly enough, and can't do 'global update/refresh'.

Basically you need to have a combination of VERY fast pixel colour switching, and the ability to 'turn off' every pixel in-between each frame, and the ability to turn-on/colour switch EVERY pixel simultaneously (as opposed to progressive/interlaced, or any other 'scan' update system).

LCD cannot do all of this. So any LCD based VR headset will always provide an inferior experience to an OLED one.
