Bought this and am trying it now:

Also followed @AQfumes advice.
Nothing. No video in the headset, the programs (Google Earth VR, bigscreen) either crash or don't even start.
This junk is going back.
And yes, I know it's all my fault because I bought a laptop that meets the minimum specs and the Oculus compatibility tool said the computer would work.

MSI laptop, Windows 10 64 bit, GTX 1050Ti graphics, 16GB memory
Downloaded the software and started to install. Was told that even though the HDMI cable was connected, to use a different port for best results. My laptop has 1 HDMI port, no more.
Continued to install. XBox controller would not sync no matter how many times I tried, put in new batteries, etc. Hopeless. Finally decided to skip the damn controller and continue.
Finished installing and connecting everything. And guess what? Audio, but no video at all in the glasses.
Sending this back tomorrow. Can't understand why they sell a "consumer" version if it doesn't work so frequently. For $500 I expect a hassle-free fun experience, not the headache I have now.

Well, guess I was wrong.
NewEgg won't give me a refund. So now I've wasted $500 on something that is useless to me.
What a great deal. Good old Facebook *uckerberg strikes again.
