[@Hedgewalkers]

Personally, ive had many problems with my Oculus Rift S. The major problem this far is in adjusting its height feature on in the guardian settings. I am wheelchair bound and cannot stand, much less flail around on my feet for more than a few minutes. It took my by surprise (unlike my older Rift), that I could not set the system to accommodate sitting without being 3' tall in the Vr environment. That being said, I am a long time Oculus/vr user and up until the Rift S, a big fan. If they could correct both the height issue and maybe a be a little more reliable as far as tracking and controller function, it would be a great step forward.

The Pimax Artisan VR's screen refresh rate is 120hrz. The screen resolution is adjustable in the settings application and has quite a range of adjustment. I'm guessing it's a bit like resolution scale, where you can force say 4k from a 1080p screen. The Artisan defaults to somewhere between 1080p to 2kish, and can be doubled using an on-screen slider, however it puts loads of extra strain on your PC obviously.

This was the first VR headset I have ever worn, and the only one. I have to say, I didn't notice any of the problems you pointed out. The battery panels didn't fall off, heck I didn't know it had any until my friend had to change the batteries. The video and the audio was perfect, I didn't see any problem with the built in audio, it was surperb. The fact that it doesn't need all that external tracking is a HUGE selling point for me. I'll definitely be grabbing one after trying it at my friend's place. It was an amazing experience. The video quality was really something. The only concern I have is if my system can handle it, something you didn't hit on AT ALL. Some minimum video card specs would have been nice to hear for this.

The reason the display looks sharper is due to the LCD screen. Each pixel on an LCD display has 3 subpixels rather than the 2 subpixels of OLED. That's why even the Valve Index looks sharper than the Vive Pro despite having the same resolution.

[@ChrisD__]

2? Did you steal all the blue subpixels to make your fursona?

[@tylerweigand8875]

Saying OLEDs have 2 subpixels that's not entirely accurate either. Most just use an RGBG subpixels layout which means there are twice as mean G pixels as R or B but they count the resolution as the G's so yes, if you do the math on there are twice as many total sub pixels as pixels but it's not quite as simple as that, and the weird subpixel layout means that vertical/horizontal lines aren't as sharp as on an RGB subpixel layout but diagonal lines tend to be better
