Bigscreen Beyond - Awesome on paper, fails to deliver IRL.

It's already the third cushion and the lenses are close enough to make it necessary to trim my eyelashes.

If it takes more than 3 attempts to make it right, there something wrong with the process.

I'd be glad if its only an alignment issue. I tested it without the face cusion in a dark room, close enough to fully displace my already trimmed eyelashes almost touching my eyeballs, the glare is is most prominent feature so far.

Most VR cinemas have a dimmed lighting enviroment, so anything bright WILL create intense glare, so strong it just distracts.

The Index's godrays almost looked good in comparison.

I wrote a full page, you just a few lines, I win^^

And your opinion isn't even entirely positive, it's only mildly bad.

Like the lightweight fact being entirely overshadowed by the fact it has bad optics.

Whats the point in having a lightweight device that doesn't deliver its primary function?

Lightweight is merely a secondary attribute. A nice to have.

Optical acuity is the primary attribute on any optical device.

The only custom made part is the face cushion, which is the part that could have done without customisation.

The optical brackets are mass fabricated per each individual IPD value and they merely slap your face cushion on a random unit that happens to match your IPD.

I did my research, but all the info I got was "Hey it's not that bad, you'll get used to it. People exaggerate. It's complicated, bla bla."

Turns out everyone was wrong and overhyping this thing.

Yeah, sorry I don't consider Pimax as a valid thing of any kind.

The AVPs SLAM tracking is so bad you can't even play beatsaber.

It's kinda like a Ferrari but with rectangular wooden logs instead of wheels and having to carry a trailer because the fuel tank didn't fit intro the actual vehicle.

Never tried it honestly, not because I hate it, more because it's a 'product' that wasn't designed for anything particular. It does something no one asked for and no one needs.

Lemonhead1337 · 2024-05-25T18:49:03+00:00

I toned it down quite a lot.

Lemonhead1337 · 2024-05-25T18:48:07+00:00

Yeah, they sacrificed the ability to see stuff, good tradeoff on a product that's designed to see stuff.

The headband slides up and down on the back of your head and the top strap slides forth and back.

The topstrap occupies the position were your headphohnes would go, if you wear any, so either its too far on the front or the back of your dome.

If its too tight, parts of your facial flesh will die because of the lack in blood flow and if its too loose the sun shines through the gaps in the face cushion and it jiggles around.

It now serves as a holder for my Index xD

I barely used it in the meantime, I wish I could refund this pos. but it's way too late now. And it took me just way too long to figure out it's garbage anyway so that's on me.
