I bought one, I also returned mine. I’ve written about this extensively on my blog [0] but the TL;DR is:
It’s an amazing device, blows the Meta headsets out of the water, but it’s still not “there” yet. The camera/passthrough needs to get better. The Mac Virtual Display is too blurry. And right now, due to software limitations, it’s essentially an iPad in capabilities. Apple was right to release this now (need to get it in developer’s hands in the same way AR/VRKit came out years before the headset) but it doesn’t solve enough problems for me. It’s a cool media consumption device but not worth $4K. If I could replace my external monitors with it then I would probably have kept it but it’s 1-2+ generations away from that. I have no doubt I’ll be interested in buying a future version when those things get better but I constantly felt like “Ok, now let me take this off and do some real work”.

- colpomy 3y agoChange your 5k display to 4k so it won't be downscaled
- joshstrange 3y agoMy existing displays are 2K, I tried that resolution (as well as 1080) and both looks bad in the AVP.
