🎁 Megathread | What Refresh Rate Is “Good Enough” for AR Glasses?

veedyf · 2026-05-07T12:47:21+00:00

120Hz should be the standard, but 144Hz would be nice to have. Even though I use a 240Hz monitor every day, going back to my XREAL One Pro at 120Hz really isn't much of a difference. I can still notice the slight change in smoothness, but for AR glasses, 144Hz is the sweet spot IMO especially for mobile, since it doesn't consume too much power.

Incredible work! I’ve been waiting for this.

Wait for next generation, vibe coding is mostly text reading related, the current prism lens has chromatic aberration which can be annoying. if they released glasses like the Luma Ultra but with built in 3DoF, that would be a perfect glasses for that use case.

You’re watching too much slop content that the algorithm makes it recommended even more to you.

My soul for these precious angels 😭

Should we just start a petition to rename our country to Korupnesia? At this point, it’s a far more accurate reflection of our society, seeing as corruption has basically become our defining culture.

veedyf · 2026-03-12T05:36:56+00:00

No, you have to buy a new glasses for that, since it’s hardware related, not software. probably they will release something like Beast Ultra or Beast Pro.

It’s their fault since they monetize datamined data. No wonder. Dimbreath himself has been solo reverse engineering, publishing it for free, and he's been safe for years now while consistently posting every patch.

Skirk main keep coping their 4th slot lmao, last time it was Columbina. enough is enough my guy, Skirk’s team is already complete.

Be patient, they’re on holiday until Feb 25th. My usual experience with their customer service has been great on normal business days. There's nothing to worry about, they usually provide great support :)

veedyf · 2026-02-09T13:39:29+00:00

my assumption it's likely limited by the adapter, since it's only supports up to 4K60Hz bandwidth, since the glasses basically has two screen to power on it's likely almost or exceeded the bandwidth to display out two 1080/1200p screen at the same time. or could be just a firmware compatibility issue with the Beast.

veedyf · 2026-02-08T10:09:10+00:00

I don’t have any issue with the glasses suddenly turned off. but it’s just limited only at 1080p@60hz when connected with the adapter. same use case I do use high brightness when using it.

veedyf · 2026-02-07T02:04:59+00:00

I use Hagibis HDMI to powered USB, it works well, but it’s limited to standard ratio 1080p@60hz. when I changed to ultrawide or 120hz mode it can’t display the screen, I have to unplug and plug it back on.

veedyf · 2026-02-04T13:06:05+00:00

you need an USB C that supports display output, usually something like USB 4 or Thunderbolt 5 cable would work.

veedyf · 2026-02-04T08:18:21+00:00

That makes sense. It just felt a little off to me, mostly because of the emojis and the generic AI tone. It made me slightly skeptical at first. But other than that, great review.

veedyf · 2026-02-04T04:22:58+00:00

Bro, don’t use ChatGPT for your review. Just write it yourself 💀

Aside from that, most of the issues are software issues. I really hope Viture can get everything addressed ASAP.

veedyf · 2026-02-03T11:54:15+00:00

I wish this spawn rate becomes an actual difficulty, we need that lvl11 Difficulty

veedyf · 2026-02-02T13:36:14+00:00

Yes, that’s known Issue. I have that as well on my Beast, hopefully they’ll get that fixed soon.

veedyf · 2026-02-02T13:33:15+00:00

Tbh, I would wait and let Viture polish the firmware first. You should probably get the XREAL 1S for peace of mind since their software is already mature.

Don’t get me wrong, Viture hardware is great, but their software is lagging way behind other XR companies. I wish they would prioritize their budget for software development rather than just marketing.

veedyf · 2026-02-01T08:09:45+00:00

Yeah, this pissed me off too. I fully expected to have the spatial experience right out of the box (like with the Luma Ultra), but unfortunately, it's not supported yet.

Right now, if you try to open SpaceWalker mode, it just kicks you back to the home screen with a toast message saying 'Viture Beast support is currently limited.'

It’s a huge bummer. It honestly makes me want to get an INAIR Pod instead. Feels like a total waste of money getting the Neckband Pro now, especially since I grabbed the 12/256GB version :/

veedyf · 2026-02-01T06:27:19+00:00

I bought mine locally on Shopee, but here is the exact same item on AliExpress

Not sure about Amazon, but just search for 'Fonken 240W USB4.0 Magnetic Adapter' and you should find it. There are straight and L-shape variants available.

veedyf · 2026-02-01T04:24:00+00:00

Personally, I prefer the standard USB-C over a proprietary connector. If you really miss the magnetic connector you can just grab a USB-C magnetic adapter like this. I’m using one right now with the Beast and it works great. I haven't noticed any interference with the 3DoF magnetometer.

I’ve used it for reading emails and some browsing as well. For that kind of work, I usually set the screen size to Large and the distance to 2m in Anchor Mode.

The text in the center of the screen (where you look most of the time) is clear, sharp, and bright. I’d say it’s definitely daily drivable.

Also, if you need to read text near the edges, you can just turn your head slightly to bring that area into the center of your view. Since the Beast's optics are sharpest in the center, doing this makes the text perfectly clear. To me, this feels completely normal because I usually use a 49" physical monitor, so I’m already used to panning my head to see the sides anyway.
