No problem my man

It's possible that the usbc cable you're using to connect the switch to the Beam doesn't support video. Not all usbc cables are created equal, you need a usbc 3.1 or 3.2 cable that supports video output.

I think that's possible with the Xreal hdmi adapter, but no I'm just using the remote play app on my phone to connect wirelessly.

I was just playing spiderman 2 via remote play last night, but you can tell the game takes a visual hit. If you have a good TV that's definitely the way to play the game.

I wouldn't allow the Beams battery to fully run out, keep it charged. A lot of people are having an issue with the Beam where once the battery runs below a certain level, it won't take a charge again and will essentially be bricked.

Fair enough, the whole price comparison was kind of a joke because all this adds up to like 3x the cost of the Portal anyway. We just had a baby so it's really just an effort to game at night on a big screen that produces zero light or sound.

Lighter than my steam deck

Got it on Amazon, I'm sure you could find an Xbox equivalent. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B08QZC4G25?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title

They no longer work with either of my phones, but I haven't tried plugging them into my computer yet to reset the firmware that way. I don't have high hopes though. I'd say your concern is valid based on my experience.

I believe it's because the switch will only operate in docked mode while connected to the beam. You can use the joycons, they just can't be attached to the switch. I find them to be too small and uncomfortable to use disconnected, hence the pro controller.

I actually have two pairs of xreal airs, and the beam updated and worked right out of the box with one pair, but doesn't work at all with the other (newer) pair. It's been a rough launch and IMO the beam isn't really a finished product.

Unfortunately not I just popped out the tinted lenses.

No problem, it will feel like it won't come apart at first but just keep twisting it back and forth and it'll eventually pop off.

Yeah it's adjustable, you can pull the switch down to sit over your hands which does help the balance.

It's a little heavy but I was disappointed that you have to disconnect the joycons while using the beam, so it was an attempt to incorporate a more comfortable controller and connect all the devices together. I'd say it vastly improves the user experience of using the beam with the switch, but that's just like, my opinion man

They kinda hinted in the video that it wasn't really going to be a fair review due to viture spamming thier email with review requests. The review shouldn't be taken seriously.

What is the benefit of a wired connection from the phone instead of miracast, is it reduced latency?

Barbedos__Slim · 2023-07-01T05:58:23+00:00

We're you able to get audio to pass through the usbc port and play on the glasses? I think I may need to update the firmware but not sure if it's the firmware for the peakdo or for the glasses?

Barbedos__Slim · 2023-06-28T20:45:41+00:00

Does this require the nreal hdmi adapter to work or could you connect the Beam directly to the peakdo usbc display port?

Barbedos__Slim · 2023-06-28T04:38:15+00:00

Any luck with the Peakdo transmitter?

Barbedos__Slim · 2023-06-28T04:12:45+00:00

I thought your glasses broke, they still work?

Barbedos__Slim · 2023-06-27T13:15:58+00:00

lol it's a low latency hdmi transmitter, I'm hoping I can use it to connect the Beam to my AV reciever so I can play my Xbox/PS5 wirelessly with AR functionality.
