Owning a Vive since mid November 2016
I would highly recomend to wait for the next gerneration of VR headsets
or till the screenresolution will be upped by a bit.
and
!!!DO NOT ORDER A VR HEADSET IF YOU HAVE NEVER TRIED IT!!!
currently Vive and Oculus are giving you 1080x1200ish pixels per eye. (2160x1200 total)
Strap that screen ~1-ish inch away from your eyes and put a magnifying lense inbetween and imagine the image you get.. and now you know why neither oculus nor valve marketed their product for movies.
However, i am not bashing either of those headsets and for what they are, true first gen products, they are stunningly good, but i am very critical person and to fully enjoy VR i need a better resolution,
e.xoEven some cardboard VR have better resolution than those lol. I have a Sony Xperia Z5 Premium with 4K screen and a Zeiss VR One. So the resolution is 3840x2160, which is almost 4 times more pixels.
e.xoI know cardboard VRs are no way near the experience of Vive or Oculus Rift. I'm just saying that it's not impossible for them to put a screen with much higher resolution into their next gen products.
