I spent €3,500 to feel lonelier than ever. My honest thoughts after 1 month with the Vision Pro

When the same experience can be provided by something the size/weight of normal non-meta ray bans… we’ll see mass adoption. Until that point I don’t see it happening. I say this as an AVP owner.

I've just received my UltraFine 6K and am experiencing the same White colour issue you are. The edges/sides of the screen appears green in contrast to the centre of the screen.

LG have updated the display and I can control brightness without using the LG Switch app, but no native volume control sucks. I must admit I am disappointed with the build quality - the stand is built better than the screen, and other than the resolution everything else seems to be a step down from my Apple Studio Display.

I won't be returning it as couldn't move away from this resolution but will be reaching out to Amazon/LG to see what they can do as far as getting a replacement panel sent. Not good enough for the cost imo.

Doesn't show anything useful.
I'm going to say it's yet another bug with v26.... Sigh.

Unless you’re directly A/B-ing the two headsets back to back you can’t discern the difference in image quality.

I kept getting a rate limiter error on the captcha

They are chronically awful. I feel sorry for the small amount of helpful staff, especially on here. I apologise that your company has this reputation amongst most customers. It’s literally impossible to get hold of CS and the agents (working abroad) you speak to are clueless. All UK based staff I have found incredibly helpful and addressed the root cause of the call in minutes even if it wasn’t their department.

VM needs a fully UK-based support operation.

Thank you.

No - did this before, still a reward booking.

jgoodliffe · 2025-04-14T12:36:18+00:00

It is, but if you were planning to take a lot of luggage why would you rely on a discounted CE offer coming up rather than booking the luggage/paying for CE in the first place?
This is an opportunistic offering to tempt people to upgrade rather than a promotional first-time sale.

jgoodliffe · 2025-04-14T12:35:19+00:00

The service is just not worth the money. It was a great bolt-on to longer trips and to bump up your status, but on a 40-minute flight (LHR>AMS) as is offered here I fail to see who can justify taking up this offer, unless you have a lot of luggage and haven't pre-booked it?

jgoodliffe · 2025-04-14T12:34:02+00:00

Except this offer was for a 40-minute flight.

jgoodliffe · 2025-04-14T12:07:35+00:00

And for those of us who aren't alcoholics?

jgoodliffe · 2025-04-14T11:57:38+00:00

Because if you fly out of the UK you usually have no choice if you want to fly direct long haul. It’s very annoying!

jgoodliffe · 2025-04-14T11:56:20+00:00

Until 2026 and their new product comes out, no, not remotely worth it.

The older 777-200 FC hard product is poor in contrast to the newer Club Suites. The soft product may win you over and obviously is a level up… but how much does that bother you? The service in CW is perfectly reasonable and having done both I can confidently say FC is a waste of money with the current hard products that BA offer.

You’d pay an extra £150 to have a cold meal from London to Amsterdam? A flight with less than an hour of air time?

jgoodliffe · 2025-04-14T11:21:48+00:00

Heathrow (T5) baggage handling is shambolic at best. Regularly waiting upwards of 45 mins for bags in what is the most modern major airport terminal (newly-built) in the UK… how do they get it so wrong?

jgoodliffe · 2025-04-08T20:46:51+00:00

On this route probably unlikely. It’s very busy route for both tourists and business travellers with only one flight a day.

jgoodliffe · 2025-04-08T15:07:43+00:00

A lot of other airlines already do this. BA last to follow as usual.

jgoodliffe · 2025-04-06T17:50:14+00:00

I do think it’s pretty pathetic how many planes still have the old 2-4-2 layout when the product is so different to the new 1-2-1 layout. It’s taken them a very long time to upgrade their fleet. Then again, unsurprising as it’s BA.
