Can some of you please advise me of how the Quest 1 compares to the Quest 2 (from personal experience)? I had a Quest 1 and sold it, in anticipation of the Quest 2.
My initial reasons for holding off on the Quest 2 are the lack of a full IPD slider and the Facebook login requirement. I find myself missing VR and I would like to know if the Quest 2 is worth my consideration.
- are the new IPD settings lack luster?
- is the increased resolution and 90 Hz significantly noticeable/better (is Link better now)?
I heavily debated the Quest 1, but it was always a bit too expensive and didn't seem to have enough power. Got the Quest 2 on launch day, so I can't really compare. - IPD settings are not perfect. I have IPD of around 66mm so I'm right in between to settings. You can put the Lenses in between two settings though and that works best for me. - I personally don't really feel the difference between 72hz and 90hz. I have to use 72hz most of the time and lower than native resolution, but it's nice to know I still have headroom for when I upgrade my PC. And 90hz does feel smoother. It's just more "subtle" for me, where other people describe it as night and day. - can't say, but comfort is great with Elite Strap. - cannot comment on FOV difference. - Facebook has not been an issue for me at all. I set up a new profile for my Quest 2 and turned off all social features. I completely forget that FB is even involved...
The biggest thing I imagine, is the screen and new Link. When you use native resolution and bump up encode bitrate in a well optimized game like HL:Alyx it looks like a perfect high definition TV. Everything is sharp, you don't see any pixels...
