If you don't mind playing around with settings (a lot) and spending a few weeks optimising everything, then I would recommend the Pico 4. You can run this on medium or high with acceptable results allowing virtual desktop to upscale to ultra (about 2800 pixels) via the headset. I have an rtx 4070 and can run a Pico 4 on godlike with FSR 130% in openxr toolkit which gives me a steady 72fps in most situations. However it is very demanding on your GPU as it is high res and needs extra power for encoding and decoding. The Pico 4 is overall better with a very good resolution. It's an old headset but still produces great results, especially if you supersample to about 2160 pixels. The rift is a bit easier to set up and less demanding. Sorry for the wall of text, and many thanks in advance for any help. I'd like to request your assistance, read your opinions and experiences with any of these (or with all, if you went through them all already!), or other VR headsets that you can recommend for my budget (400€). The PICO4 seems the most capable all around for the money (for my budget) but I also read that it's a no-go for the ubber system it requires for a good experience. I also read that the QUEST2 is utterly uncomfortable, requires extras on top of the initial purchase (Elite strap, etc) and image comparos show some problems with colors. these are "Standalone VR", they don't use Display Port cable, but a USB instead (WiFi is "meh" at my place) and, with that compression story, the image quality is generally worse and performance is a bit impacted, because of all that encoding and decoding processing. That said, might as well buy a brand new out of the box PICO4 or QUEST 2 for that money and, with that, the guarantee that all is fine and well (plus warranty, etc).or is it? Regardless, the Reverb G2 seem the most recommended.even if used? Plus, I read about a lot of problems with cables on the Reverb G1 and the Reverb G2 v1 as well (seems okay in the G2 v2 model of 2021, it seems?), replacements being zero on the G1, and prohibitive on the G2. The problem with the HP Reverb (G1 or G2) is that I can't buy them new, and even the 2nd hand prices are too high for a two+ year VR headset (be it G1 or G2, or any other for that matter). I know as well about the very tiny sweet spot and restricted FOV, though the image does seem the most praised of all I listed? (Reverb G2) I read that the Reverb G1 and G2 are the only ones on my list with a DisplayPort cable (PCVR dedicated), so no compression (better clarity) and a bit less stress in the system as there's no processing part of encoding and decoding. (1€ = 1.10$USD = 0.85£) where the price on these things gets inflated like a balloon. I know this will be remarkably different for those in other countries/continents. any other equivalent VR headset recommendation(s) for 400€ maximum that I don't know about? Reverb G2 (used, no warranty) - over 350€ for G2 v1, over 500€ for G2 v2. Reverb G1 (used, no warranty) - there is none below 250€ Now, took some reading, here and out there, watched videos (etc), it seems that I've got four choices for the VR Headset: I got it well tweaked, satisfied at the moment (but now wanna dive into VR!!). I currently run DCS at 4K resolution (on 43'' inch screen, with head-tracking) at fairly high settings. I'm not scared of that at all (no problem, I'm used to it) but I don't want to get into something that, in the end, just doesn't work okay (performance wise, bugs/issues wise, or comfort wise), and then all this was for nothing. I'm well aware, through a close friend (has Oculus Rift-S, which I already tested DCS with), that the tweaking is a constant, in pursuit of a performance/quality holy grail. This will be more like a "let's see if I can get into it" purchase and, therefore, investing above a certain budget is completely out of question (400€ maximum). I'll start by saying that my use case for VR will be flight-sims (DCS primarily, but not only), maybe some ocasional sim-racing.
