    Valve Index Impressions from a 4 Headset Owner - submitted 10 hours ago * by IRobertus

    Screen Door Effect

    Another easy win for the Valve Index. The display has almost no SDE and the pixel fill gives it an edge over the Vive Pro SDE.



    reads like the first reviews of DK2. Or CV1. Sometimes i wonder if all reviewers have bad eyes. Even the Reverb has visible screendoor (i would say "almost none" though ;-) ).

    I was afraid of that with the colors. I still question why Oculus and Valve decided to use LCD's, especially on a high end headset like the Index.

    maybe because you get 50% more resolution at no aditional rendering cost?

    Yeah, the hyperbole train is defiantly travelling to all places Index at the moment - and I think it will be difficult to get a definitive position on how good it is. CV1 owners will be best placed to give a hands-on report as they are using the best system at the moment (next to the Quests own optics).

    I am pretty sure its way better then the CV1. Hopefully i can try the index in August myself.

    I've been using the CV1 all week and I plan to jump into the Index straight from it tomorrow. I'll give my initial opinion on that Tomorrow or Saturday. 

    I actually prefer the O+ overall to CV1 but it has some big drawbacks. SDE bothers me more than most and that is the only reason I prefer O+. For the average person though I think CV1 is better overall and I've said that before.

    Now I'm curious to see where Index falls. Going from the vibrant colors of OLED to LCD is probably going to be a shock at first as I have Rift, O+ and Quest and Psvr... All of which are OLED.

    Looking forward to your review and the SDE is also my biggest CV1 problem. Strange with so many box shots on Reddit Index and almost no reviews. One German dude bricked his Index when a firmware update didn't work - be careful!  :)

    With the regards to SDE it might be worth remembering that anyone coming from a Vive to the Index will be more glowing with praise than someone coming from the Rift to the Index. The SDE on the Vive is GODAWFUL so they'll be more enthusiastic about it.

    From Oculus to Valve but the dude writing below didn't say which Oculus HMD he used before...
