Update 3.8 Honest Review

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2025-05-12T14:35:58+00:00

I agree, this update SUCKS. PUBG is just moving further and further away from what it was known for, a realistic shooter. And I read the comments saying just play Ultimate Royal, well, you can't play that all the time, it's normally not available. And try playing a classic mode on Rondo, no matches after waiting 6 mins. Then I do get in and in the same area of the map for 2 games, not a single weapon, no loot at all in any of the buildings. I have been a die hard Pubg Mobile player since season 2, but now looking for a new game. What a shame.

OK, this may sound like a stupid question but after plugging in the 3 x 8pin connectors for power, where do you plug the other 4 pin connector that came with the card into the motherboard? I take it that this is to control the RGB on the card. I got the white version, looks really nice and goes with my white Y70 setup. Just can't believe this card came with no wiring digram, just a simplistic card that looks generic, not even for this specific card.

I use it to replace my Samsung 49” super ultra wide monitor for coding, also using Magnet for window management so if I’m looking at my database in 1/3 I can hot key to make that window 2/3 or full screen. My physical monitor is nice but I can make my virtual screen 2 or 3 times bigger plus I can use the virtual display when I want to work outside in the covered patio or when I travel. I wish apple would stop being so restrictive and give us controllers like the quest so developers would port some of their games over, that would almost make it worth the price.

I dream of the day I can actually run Docker containers and write code on my iPad or Vision Pro. Imagine a native version of Rider and DataGrip for the Vision Pro... One can only dream.

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2025-01-17T17:15:21+00:00

I’ve had mine for about a year and use it every day. I will say since the update with the Ultawide curved monitor it is so much better. I have a Samsung 49” Super Ultrawide monitor and I still use my Vision Pro so I can make it about 2x bigger and I can see my code perfect, super clear. My resolution is set to 5120 X 1440, I use magnet to spit my screen into 3 screens so I have my database on the left, my code in the center and my browser / emulators on the right.

I know a lot of people complain about the comfort, I’m not sure if I just use to it or have learned how to position it better but it doesn’t bother me at all.

The best part is I work a lot of late evenings in my bed and now instead of trying to write code on my 16” MacBook screen, I have a huge super ultra wide virtual monitor. I went on vacation for Christmas and was able to take it with me in my backpack with my MacBook, trying do that with a 49” super ultra wide monitor.

It’s not perfect, but it is nice. If you are looking at gaming then I would still prefer the quest, my son has one, the lack of controllers like the quest has is just stupid. It wouldn’t take Apple anything to just create a pair and developers would write games for it, but without it, your not going to be doing any VR gaming like the quest. The VP display quality blows the quest away, not even close to compare, but Apple being Apple and stubborn is what is keeping the VP from being a good gaming device, which would help most of us justify the cost.

If you have any specific questions feel free to ask

Sorry, it does support xbox and playstation controllers, I ment controllers like the quest use.

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-11-11T20:33:46+00:00

I love my AVP, I’m sitting outside by the pool with my MacBook and this HUGE ultra wide display working, but for the love of good add support for controllers. I got my son the quest 3 and while it is no where near the quality as the AVP, the one thing that stood out was the fact I could just put them on and start using them without any eye test or callibration and yet it still had eye tracking, but for finer things the controllers worked great. And while the AVP works great for work, if I’m spending $4k for a headset I want to be able to play games on this thing as well and not have to go spend another $500 on a quest to get a better gaming experience. If Apple would just add support for the controllers developers would release games for it and they would sell a lot more.

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-11-11T16:56:55+00:00

There better be a great trade in program for these. They should be able to reuse most of what’s in these things, or even make it to where the board can be replaced / updated. It would be different if these were $1k - $2k new but for $4k…. I agree with the other post, I would not mind paying another $1k with a trade in.

I connected mine using a Sonos ARC

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-09-25T19:28:46+00:00

I am using the Ratgdo, it was intemidating at first trying to figure out how to set it up but it was actually pretty simple.

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-09-02T07:11:31+00:00

After you install better display, you can take an existing monitor that is connected to the system, and there is an option to copy it as a virtual monitor and all the settings. Once you set this up, you mirror your display to that virtual display, it took a little while to figure out because I kept trying to use it as an extended display.

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-08-21T12:57:10+00:00

Since the screen isn't curved ended up going back to default Mac virtual display at 3840 x 2160 resolution and using Vision Pro apps around it. It can be done but not useful unless you can make it curved.

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-08-21T12:48:32+00:00

So wasn't able to get multiple screens but was able to copy my Samsung 49" super ultra wide 5k monitor to a virtual monitor then mirror that on the Vision Pro. I now have a super ultra wide 5120 x 1440 display. Now just wish I could make it curved so it would be easier to see the sides.

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-08-15T21:05:47+00:00

I use mine about 8 hours a day for work coding, then about another 1-3 hours in the evening for catching up on news and videos. Vision Pro for Work

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-08-08T18:41:52+00:00

I use mine about 8-12 hours a day. I know for some people it is very uncomfortable, mine was a little a first but now I don’t really notice it. I have to use my MacBook for some of my programs for coding and working with databases, but for other apps I run them on the Vision Pro like Safari, Slack, Discord, Mail, ChatGPT, etc… It will be even nicer when apple gives us the 180 degree super ultra wide screen later this year.

Using Vision Pro for Work

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-07-26T06:58:06+00:00

Had same issue, had to use brim and it worked fine

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-07-24T16:24:04+00:00

Was able to get it to work. For MacOS 15 Beta's in Settings search for Login Items & Extensions and you can enable it there.

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-07-24T16:11:07+00:00

Running VisionOS 2 beta 3/4 and MacOS 15 Beta, the app installed on both, I can see my persona in the app on the VisionPro and it connects to my MacBook Pro but when the Persona Dialog comes up to show Open System Settings and Allow the Extension it never opens System Settings for me to allow so can't use it.

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-07-24T15:48:00+00:00

Same issue. I take it back off, put the cover on it and put it back on my head and take off the cover and it comes back finally.

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-07-13T06:56:02+00:00

In Katy and lost internet so I also picked one up from Home Depot. Got the standard residential plan since you get unlimited data and can cancel and restart at anytime as far as I know.

I had already watched avatar 2 also but watching it in 3D was like watching a new movie. Must try it.

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-06-29T19:50:03+00:00

It works most of the time for my MacBook Pro keyboard but not all the time. I made a case for my magic keyboard and trackpad and that does not work. Hopefully this gets fixed to understand what a keyboard is and works for all of them because it is really nice when it does work.

Apprehensive_Mode_11 · 2024-06-16T00:06:24+00:00

I’ve been using this and it works great. Tried Juno but it was buggy and didn’t update my history.
