Doug puts the HP Reverb G2 to the test in this hands-on review. This VR headset boasts 4320 x 2160 Total Resolution, Dual 2.89″ LCD Screens, 90 Hz Refresh …
What are your thoughts on this virtual reality headset?
I can't believe this dude spent all this time and effort just to show off beatsaber and SWsquadrons on the G2, smh. Use the high res as intended for games like HLA, DCS, PC2, H3VR, Saints & sinners, you know, games that really compliment the high res. Not apps that any VR HMD does the same in.
Is the USB cable just for powering the headset? Can it be fed with a cellphone charger instead of plugging it to the computer?
the visual quality is very good but after near 20 minutes of usage I measured 45C on lenses – I feel the dangerous heat with my eyes – you can boil your eyeballs with this device
Do not buy this if you have the X570 motherboard. It is a great headset otherwise
This headset sits in a place where it would be dumb to buy. Everyone is buying the Oculus Quest 2, and has already become the best selling VR headset within the last couple months, or going to the best with the Valve Index. The only people I've seen buy this are hardcore VR enthusiasts who buy every headset anyway.
DCS is a free game that supports VR. I haven't tried "SQUADRONS" yet, but DCS is AMAZING! You look out the cockpit at your wings, you look back at your gauges, and it really feels like you are in an aircraft. Also, you can get prescription lenses for 70.00 that twist onto the lenses of the REVERB G2. I love them. Watching movies in them is like watching movies in a movie theater.
Excellent review – I'm considering upgrading my Rift CV1 headset to this. What was the Bluetooth receiver for that you mentioned?
