[@ThisKory]

Thank you so much for watching, it means a lot, I hope you enjoyed this review as much as I enjoyed making it! 💜

[@izan6366]

just realised all you vr guys have it so easy because you can look at your script in your headset and nobody realises

[@ThisKory]

😂 I wasn't trying to hide the fact, but you're definitely right haha. It's exactly what I was doing. Sometimes I just use bullet points and riff off of that, too.

[@Impact_271]

and we have it good to iron man bat man and spider man vr games we eating out here

[@FERGX12]

True, it's surely hard to be a vr reviewer but trust me its harder for us "viewers"😅

[@jeffwyant36]

Thank you so much for making this review. I finally pulled the trigger on this HMD+ audio strap after watching!

[@ThisKory]

Glad to help you make the decision! What headset are you coming from? 😁

[@gremlinbadass14]

I've been wanting to get into VR for years and I'm glad that I've found this video along with a few others. The Bigscreen Beyond is looking like the headset that I'm going to get sometime in the future. Along with index controllers. Great video. Thank you.

[@Smilxy-music]

Thanks for this extremely in-depth review. I wasn't entirely sure about this but I've decided on getting it. Just gonna wait till I go to the eye doctor to remind myself what my prescription is lol

[@xXYannuschXx]

What I am a little worried about is, that Valve apparently stopped producing anything for the Ligthouse system; the base stations and the Knuckles. Also: what game was that at 28:30?

[@ThisKory]

Yeah that's a bummer, at least they're still being manufactured by other companies. It seems we will continue to get more VR products from Valve with their latest leaks for the new controllers, which is nice. That game was Automobilista 2 😁🏎️

[@xXYannuschXx]

@@ThisKory Yeah, I put away money already for the next Valve VR set. But sadly it seems it wont be an "Index 2" but rather a "VR Steamdeck". Dont get me wrong, I love the idea, but it seems they completely move away from lighthouse tracking (despite the 2022 leaks of lighthouse 3.0) and the finger tracking Knuckles. I still hope that the leaks arent complete and they do make higher end controllers and tracking solutions. Is HTC now making the base stations? At least those will still be made then. But we wont have the Knuckles sadly and the Vive Wands are... well they suck :D Thanks, will check it out.

[@ThisKory]

I agree with you entirely, and if Valve is ditching proper PCVR headsets and finger tracking of the knuckles altogether, then it'll be a sad day for VR. Let's hope that's not the case 🤞

[@Beardinc]

totally new to VR, looking to replace "screens" as Im moving onto my boat to live fulltime. Will be using the headset 99% of the time for video, so OLED is the way for me. This review was exactly the kind of info i was looking for. I'm glad the algorithm sent me your way!

[@lilitusilence]

Dang, that looks sick ngl, surprised that it lasted that long since mine rarely last that long (I move a lot, and they tend to fall-). The custom fit would definitely help, though... I do have concerns about prescriptions. I used vr rock for my previous prescriptions for other VR headsets, and it was the easiest to install and the cheapest, so do you think that would apply to the Beyond? Thanks for the info! (IF you reply, lmao)

[@Hdogss]

You can order prescription lenses from the manufacturers of the beyond directly.

[@Mido_]

I don't understand - why do we have to choose between 1920p at 90 hz and 2560p and 75 hz, if it's the PC doing the computations, not the goggles?

[@ThisKory]

It's a data bandwidth limitation with the cable from my understanding. VR pushes 2 displays, it's insanely high resolution, and it just can't push the data to perform at higher refresh rates.

[@charlesturner897]

Assuming the displays are 10-bit, 1920x1920 90Hz is 10Gb/s, bump that to 2560x2560 90Hz and it's 19Gb/s. Both require compressing the signal with DSC but 2560 90Hz will need it compressing almost twice as much, and I would guess the quality was just too poor. Either that or the chipset in the headset (the headset has to decompress and drive the displays) couldn't handle 19Gb/s (remember this is just for 1 screen)

[@alfiegordon9013]

​@@charlesturner897iirc it was the display controller in the headset, couldn't handle the bandwidth You'd think that for 1000 dollars they could use a better one but apparently they already aren't making great margins on it so fair enough

[@lifelesshawk5725]

It’s a limitation with the display port bandwidth, rather than a hardware or software restriction of the device itself. The image actually goes through a lossless compression so that you can even get 2560x2560 75hz at all. Only way to increase it, would be with a new display port standard, think usb 2 to usb 3 Disappointing, but with it being OLED the latency is roughly 10-30 times faster than traditional OLED, so the display will have the newest image possible vs led which might be much further off making it feel much smoother on the OLED than led despite led being refreshed many more times in a second than OLED. Doesn’t change that it’s only 75 hz, but you don’t notice nearly as bad as you would’ve with LED

[@rupert274]

@@ThisKory DisplayPort 2.0 when?

[@ChillUp1997]

Do you race with a motion system? I love playing vr but combined with all headset I had in the past it was not playable because the displays are just wobbling to bad in front of my eyes, when the simulator starts to shake. Would be pretty interesting for me how the beyond is in comparison for that use case

[@ThisKory]

Nah, no motion system here - I wish. The Beyond will be fine for a motion rig. Honestly, most VR headsets should be good for a motion rig that's tame. You must be really shaking around in there 😅

[@stretchy7]

very much needed review.. thank you

[@lildoggo5863]

Nice production quality bro!

[@Worldlyy]

In response to the "glare" bit at 15 minutes, I have a theory that this actually comes from the screen light hitting our eyes, and then bouncing back onto the screen, which you can then see as a glare or discoloration on the lens., awesome video, I wish I could afford one haha

[@christophercampbell6884]

Theory? Why not just look it up. It's caused from the light from the screen scattering off the edge.

[@Worldlyy]

​@@christophercampbell6884 it was just based on my own experience, don't take it too personally.

[@Sedokun]

11:12 How did you get a thin Interface? My is as thick as that banana you've eaten earlier.

[@ThisKory]

I almost choked reading that last sentence 🤣 You must ask them for a thin gasket, as thin as they can get it. If it is too thin, you can purchase tiny 3x1mm or 3x2mm magnets to add them to the gasket as spacers. That being said, I believe you get one free gasket adjustment - don't quote me on this. My first gasket I had comfort issues with, so when I had mine adjusted I requested it to be as thin as they could get it. Hit them up on the Bigscreen Beyond Discord server, they have a solid support team over there.

[@Viper6-MotoVlogger]

Seems like a pretty awesome device. That was quite the editing nightmare 😳

[@crimsom2977]

bad fov sadly so not really worth buying

[@ThisKory]

@Crimsom2977 Anything is worth buying if it's worth it to the buyer. Plenty of people will still enjoy lower FOV headsets if the trade-offs are worth it. I'd much rather use the Beyond which has amazing clarity and details, especially with the micro OLED displays, than any other heavy and clunky headset with LCD displays and a larger FOV.

[@Dub3God]

@@ThisKory agree. That is the thing with me. I play war thunder anywhere from sometimes 2 to 4 hours with a quest three. Well the game looks great and everything is all hunky-dory. The next strain from having what feels like a 5 pound weight strapped 2 inches from my face just kills me. I can feel it in my neck all the time. One of the reasons I am considering this headset. The lower field of view stinks, but having something that weighs like 80% less than the index was slightly less field of view, but nearly 2,000,000 more density and higher resolution with O lead and a custom fit definitely speaks to me. The only thing that would annoy me is if the IPD and the cushion weren’t right the first time you know, I guess it could take what? Four or five months from the time I first hit order until I get it right?

[@RaskusPOL]

16:23 its kinda true, sadly. OLED kinda makes it "like you are there" or "like you are looking through the window to a different world" Even fu****g og HTC VIve seems weirdly realistic because of those blacks and reaction time maybe? Same with old headsets with oled like Samsung odyssey +, or PSVR 2, even tho they have their cons, the image is weirdly realistic in a way.

[@NicoGamez]

after using a windows mixed reality headset as my first vr headset for the longest time, and then switching to the original htc vive after microsoft decided to kill off wmr, I experienced OLED VR for the first time, and I was so blown away by how good the colors looked, that I don't mind the lower resolution and more noticable screendoor effect at all! OLED is just simply way too good, and I was kinda dissapointed when I was looking for future headset upgrades to consider, and then finding out that there's pretty much no headsets with OLED screens apart from the vive pro 1, the bigscreen beyond and the psvr2. I was kind of out of the loop with VR until after I bought the vive, because I was fine with my wmr headset for the most part, so I didn't really keep up with vr headset releases, so I assumed the vr market advanced enough to where most headsets have high resolution and high refresh rate OLED screens nowadays, but it seems I assumed wrong

[@ThisKory]

Yeah it'll sure be nice when OLED displays become the norm. They're beautiful to look at in and out of VR.

[@ihavestds394]

oled screens aren't the norm yet because of it's absolutely ludicrous price and the terrible nit conversion (it's like 5000 thousand nits to whatever the beyond has which is around 100 lol), which makes it impractical for vr headsets like the quest 3 which would probably have to be over a thousand to have oled screens

[@Dub3God]

@@ihavestds394 surprisingly you’re incredibly mistaken. Wow if you consider something like that on like a TV screen, sure. But when you have a 100% sealed VR headset with no light bleed, no windows behind you and your family room, all of a sudden it’s not as big deal as you make it out to be. You’re entitled to your own opinion, but not your own set of facts.

[@unotoli]

Great job! Sadly, they did not implement double DP cable, so 75/90/120hz would be possible in full resolution. It is very quiet on BigScreen2 (I hope they will pick a better name). Small team, great product.

[@ThisKory]

I never even thought about a double display port connection for VR headsets. I wonder if that would even work, to push each display individually 🤔 Thanks for the support! 💜

[@unotoli]

@ so, one cable would be enought ?

[@Layarion]

26:40 wait wait wait, how did they give you the wrong IPD with their face scan tech? also how did you know it was wrong?

[@ThisKory]

Sometimes things are not perfect, especially when ordering something that's custom built for your face. For most people they'll get the correct setup, but some might need some adjustments. This should be expected for a custom design, sometimes it's trial and error to get things right. I knew my facial gasket wasn't comfortable immediately, and too thick. The IPD I knew was not right as I tested it by lining up one eye perfectly center and then closing that eye and seeing if the other eye is aligned. There are methods you can use to find these issues. Since my original order I know they made improvements to the way they create facial gaskets (they're much smoother, and much more balanced with pressure on your face), so perhaps they've improved their face scan tech to better match IPD as well. Either way, it was a fairly quick fix.

[@ChrisCypher]

Great review. I would agree with most of your points and they're well visualized throughout the video. Where's the audio strap review?

[@ThisKory]

Thank you! I have quite a bit going on so the audio strap review is on a brief delay. Hopefully it'll be up by the end of the year.

[@kirbnt]

I have both the beyond audio strap as well as the HTC delux audio strap, and the HTC blows it out of the water.

[@ThisKory]

In what regard? Audio? Comfort? Material quality? All? I am curious about that one 🤔

[@Vespene]

Video made me want to set up my Index again and tinker with brightness levels to see if I can alleviate the god rays, so thank you. I can't believe I've never considered that, I thought it was an IPD issue. Can't comment on the BSB because I don't have an iPhone and they're 1200 to my location.. without the audio strap (they're just ksc75's, so it doesn't seem worth the price) or prescription lenses..

[@ThisKory]

You actually don't need to own an iPhone. I don't. You can use a friend or family members, or you can do what I did which was go into an Apple store and use one of the floor models. The entire process took only a few minutes, I was in and out of the store in no more than 5 minutes. But yeah the headset itself can be costly, that's for sure. I'm curious if you'll see a noticeable difference in glare with the Index by lowering the brightness as well, and it's something I didn't think of either haha.

[@moncimoov]

waiting for my new lens prescription and new ipd swap.. great headset but trust me.. u will want to tweek it more until its perfectly made for u and me

[@2jzwho]

I am coming from a quest 3, I am a sim racer and race on Iracing to practice for irl. And I am trying to get as close as possible to real life graphic wise. Is this a good vr headset for this or no. All I keep hearing is the glare is bad and the IPD is bad. Did I mess up buying this?

[@ThisKory]

That final question only you can answer. I am going to be honest, the first week or two with my Beyond I felt nervous because I wasn't totally convinced that the Beyond was good enough to justify the cost. The glare might be jarring at first, especially if you've only ever used a Quest 3 because that has very minimal glare. After a couple weeks using it I realized what the Beyond can do with its high res OLED displays, and it's awesome. There's pros and cons to every VR headset, and the Beyond definitely isn't perfect, but what it does is amazing and I am very happy with it and do not regret my purchase at all. Hope this helps 😁 I'm curious what your thoughts are when you receive yours, and what your thoughts are a couple weeks after using it.

[@2jzwho]

@ I bought mine and didn’t know I needed a base. I don’t want to wait a week for a base and I can’t find anyone with one in my area. The guy I bought the beyond from never used it and had my IPD and his face shape was similar to mine and fits great but I’m going to get it readjusted. He told me I didn’t need a base and I bought it today and got rid of my quest 3 prior and now I can’t race in my sim event sigh.

[@2jzwho]

@ also I was told by so many people you can get the IPD replaced and the eye cushion for free. Now support is saying I have to pay which is annoying but nothing I can do 🤷‍♂️.

[@ThisKory]

Yes, you need at least 1 base station to use the Beyond, for tracking. You can get an adjustment for free - I did at least, but I also purchased mine new, and had comfort issues so the adjustment was necessary. Since you bought yours used, I'd imagine these luxuries to have an adjustment done for free are not part of the deal, unfortunately. To be fair, most companies will not honor used product replacements, as proof of purchase is necessary. Research is important, especially when investing in a custom device like the Beyond. I'm sure you can get things sorted out with your facial gasket, but if a new IPD is needed, you may be out of luck since you bought it used. Definitely reach out to support via Discord, they have a good team working there to help, and if you're upfront then maybe an IPD adjustment can be done, but you'll probably be paying for shipping and the cost of the facial gasket adjustment as well. Good luck, and godspeed!

[@badbo4life1]

Great video, I agree with your point on brightness, many people are having their first in depth experience with OLEDs without realizing how much more light is seen on LCD panels plus the extra darkness from the face seal. Do you have prescription lenses? Haven't seen anyone review them yet. Just ordered the B.S.Beyond and the option for prescription lenses was one of the major selling points for someone with poor eyesight. Without wearing contacts things in VR look blurry even if the displays are good. For years I thought the Valve Index was overrated because I never thought about visual depth of field for displays an inch from my eyes. Tried it with contacts and had a second awakening in VR. But contacts are a pain to use and it makes VR this big process of getting ready just to play VR instead of just grabbing the headset and controllers and playing.

[@ThisKory]

I've been using the VR ROCK prescription lenses - which do have you needing to adjust the facial interface to be a bit thicker (with magnet spacers) since the lenses push your eyes away from the lenses a bit, so you lose some FOV. I'd imagine the ones you can purchase directly from BB to be on par. They look very similar, but seem to be a bit more expensive. I have a link in the description to the VR ROCK lenses, if you're interested.

I tried lower brightness levels and skies start to look dim, like you're constantly wearing sunglasses. 45% is the sweet spot for me where I'm still getting bright enough levels that convince me I'm outdoors in these scenarios.

[@fendrel8871]

Something that concerns me is the durability. And I've found very little on the subject. I'm clumsy and forgetful when in vr and I know I'm gonna smash it into something

[@ThisKory]

If you're constantly smashing into things while using VR then you're doing something wrong haha 😂 There are tons of ways to prevent this, from in-VR software like play space boundaries, center markers, and even sounds and alerts when you get to the edge of your play space, to small rugs you can put on the ground IRL to make sure you stay where you need to be. There are many things you can do to prevent the issue of smashing into things. Sit down in a swivel chair while you become accustomed to VR so you don't go running into walls head first haha. I don't think durability for the VR headset is a concern, and you should be concerned about fixing the issue of smashing into things in the first place 😅 Any VR headset is susceptible to breaking if smashed into a wall..

[@fendrel8871]

@ThisKory yeah i got a center mat, boundaries, fan, etc. But it's wearable tech and slip ups can happen. I've had my index since launch and it's still holding up. Thanks for the review btw very thorough! Looking forward to my beyond

[@ThisKory]

Saaaame! I'd plug it in for simulators and highly competitive games where latency matters, and I'd love to go wireless when playing more casual games like Walkabout Mini Golf or single player games. A wireless option would be awesome, but I still wouldn't sacrifice a proper display port cable for it.

[@MrTechcat]

Switching from a dim display headset to a normal brightness one will blow your mind, that all the same game levels you thought were rendered as late evening are actually mid day, just your headset were rendering those way too dark. This is exactly how switching to a Quest Pro felt like, the one headset having really bright displays and good black too. Switching to the Quest 3 will not make a difference because screens are barely more brighter and all you notice are just those washed out colors.

[@ThisKory]

I'm not so sure about that, going from my Beyond to my Quest 3 doesn't blow my mind at all, and it's quite the opposite, really. Everyone will have different desires though, and that's what's great about having so many options now with VR headsets 😁

[@MrTechcat]

@@ThisKory You need Quest Pro to see the difference. Quest 3 is barely brighter over BSB and washes colors so bad at max brightness too.

PSVR2 is also much brighter than the BSB and it's OLED. Shame about the resolution though. Quest Pro has even lower resolution.

[@ThisKory]

Nah I'm good, I'd rather take the little time to get something custom made for me. It's way more comfortable than anything I've tried, and I've already tried 6 other VR headsets. The Beyond is worth going through the hassle for the comfort alone. I don't own an iPhone, I just went to the Apple store and used one of theirs. It was nice to get out of the house, and it took like 3 minutes to scan my face. But that's my opinion, to each their own ✌ I love my Quest 3 as well, but if it was as light and comfortable, and had high res OLED displays like the Beyond, then I'd love it even more 😅

[@dtz1000]

PSVR2 is another good option as it's OLED and has a higher fov than the BSB. I prefer it to Quest 3 for PCVR even though it is a pain to set up. OLED is just way better than LCD.

Haha I started thinking about that as soon as I ordered the Beyond. I figured it will be harder to recognize as a VR channel since it'll be so small and hardly noticeable. I will keep the Index profile pic for a bit longer since it represents VR headsets better, and it holds a soft spot in my heart with it being my first VR headset.

the comfort can be fixed

[@ThisKory]

If the Quest 3 had OLED panels, holy moly it would be nice.. but no, the Quest 3 is not the end-game PCVR headset, simply due to the compression without a proper display port connector, and latency/connectivity/compression issues if you're wireless. Also no, the comfort on the Quest cannot be fixed. The headset itself already weighs 394g (without a strap), and the sheer size makes it impossible to bring the same comfort as the Beyond.
