I purchased a Vive pro 2 to try it as a monitor replacement for my CHG90, which is a 49in 3840 x 1080 display.
The vive 2 is 2448×2448 per eye, or 4896×4896 total.
It’s completely unusable for the purpose. Text is blurry and unreadable. The lenses are garbage. It’s sitting on a shelf now.
The vision pro is probably somewhere in the range of 3,391 x 3,391 per eye, although one guy calculated it to likely be 3660 x 3142.
That’s not that big of an improvement over the pro 2, and I doubt it would actually give enough clarity to use it as a high res display replacement.
I picked up the pro 2 for $350, and I feel like I may have even overpaid a bit for what I got. Unless the vision pro is a quantum leap in display quality over it, it’s going to be a non-starter at the 3,500 price point.

Bit more than "not that big", surely.
- radicaldreamer 3y agoIt's like pizza sizing, a large is substantially bigger than a medium despite the diameter seeming not all that different due to surface area. Coupled with the complexities of lensing within the device, I think people should wait to try Apple's headset before coming to conclusions based on other designs.
- sudosysgen 3y agoIt's not like a pizza. You care about linear resolution, not number of total pixels.
