Yes, the horrible black (grey) levels of the Quest2 have not been addressed with this set, although people seem to suggest you might get slightly less terrible contrast. I ordered mine, but I hope they improve it for the Quest4…

Stop it Steve, that is just mean to tease me like that :) I'm kind of hoping Varjo beats them to it with an Aero 2... but that might just be wishful thinking on my part. What a great time to be a VR Enthusiast.

@@GYGOtv It is indeed my friend. Next year is gonna be another corker 😁

@@VRFlightSimGuyIt just keeps getting better and better my friend. Thanks so much for watching our stuff. I really appreciate it!

You and I think alike, I still don't like the company BUT this headset is revolutionary for the VR Industry IMO!

@@GYGOtv exactly

I really appreciate the compliment! Thank you for taking the time to watch! Its a lot of work, but comments like this make it worth it. Thanks again!

Well thank you for both trusting my opinion and also taking the time to write such a great comment. I completely agree with you on the Stand-Alone vs. PC! I just played the NFL Pro Era from my free 6 month subscription to Meta+ and the graphics felt like I was playing Madden 2001 or something on the PS2. It was still a really cool experience, but nowhere near PCVR! Have you tried Red Matter 2 yet on stand alone? It was actually very comparable to PCVR. I've also been playing Tales from Galaxies Edge and it is decent, probably in the PS3 range of graphics. But in the end you are right, PCVR if possible is the way to go. I still can't get over how good this thing works wirelessly! As for the Big Screen Beyond, I'm sure it still has the same glare as that is just the nature of pancake lenses that nobody ever seems to talk about. That is why I prefer aspheric, but you wouldn't have this form factor with those. I may try to reach out to Big Screen for a demo unit down the road because I certainly can't afford to buy another $1000 headset. Obviously you will get my honest opinion if I do get my hands on one. Stay tuned!

Thank you so much for the advice!!! I'm so appreciative of tips like this because like I mentioned I am a Noob when it comes to the Quest. It looks like you load it in the Quest Store just like any other app, am I correct?

@@GYGOtv no problem! I wish it was as easy as getting from the app store but it actually needs to be downloaded and purchased for 10 dollars USD from the interwebs. But with a quick and easy transaction, enabling developer mode ( I think, it's been a while so I forget) and then lastly downloading, extracting, and opening some auto-install zip files you're practically finished you're all finished. It's light work for anyone with minimal computer experience. Look up "Steveknows" quest games optimizer install video, he makes it super simple for anyone to do. Hope to hear your thoughts on how the tool helped your quest experiences!

@@platinumdm7099Thanks for the follow-up. I'll put it on my to do list... and honestly I'll need to buy some more Quest 3 games because right now I don't have that much software to even really take advantage of it. I'm mostly doing PCVR on the Quest 3 but will certainly look into using this software once I get a bigger Quest 3 library!

Glad to help, the wireless performance is stunning on this headset!!!

That is a fantastic way to reframe that... I never even considered using it for that but good to know. I still prefer to block the light out and it looks like DavidLee found a solution already amzn.to/40mvTXk. Thanks for watching.

Yep I'm hearing from a lot of Quest Pro owners that the Quest 3 isn't as good... but again price right. No thank you on the Quest Pro for me, I Hate the nose light leakage on the Quest 3 so imagine how much I would hate the openness of the Quest Pro. Thank you so much for your info, very valuable and I'm sure will help others thinking about the Quest Pro over the Quest 3. How would you say the Quest 3 compares to the Pico 4 since I can't get a Pico here in the States... well not officially anyway :)

@@GYGOtvMany Quest Pro owners may also be a bit pissed off their headset was first reduced in price and then replaced in relatively short time by a much cheaper headset with “some” far better features. I would be too. Other features were not improved but cancelled out, like the DFR that is largely compensated by the much faster processor.

@@jango71Yep they should have watched my Quest Pro video where I recommended you wait :) That is Meta doing Meta things... just one of the many reasons I don't like the company.

Great Comment and I agree 100% Thanks for the full body tracking info... I may have to experiment with that for motion compensation on the motion platform. I honestly can't believe I may choose the Quest 3 over the $1599 Pimax Crystal for roomscale but that might happen.

@@GYGOtv the only thing that’s a bit of a bummer is that you need to have a semi well lit environment, for things to stay seamless, but all in all it’s amazing. I think the ease of use is what’s really going to bring vr to the mainstream. Gone are the days of endless troubleshooting…well at least to the extent old headsets had, haha. Keep making your content! I really appreciate your videos.

@@roshirawrThank you so much. Yep I was just talking with a friend of mine about how you can basically just throw the Quest 3 on and go... vs the old days for sure. Quite a time to be a VR Enthusiast (FINALLY).

Great comment, I think the industry would have survived because of us stupid Enthusiasts but it certainly would still be a very small niche. Meta brings it mainstream for sure. It wouldn't surprise me if they are losing money on the Quest 3 or at least selling it at cost so what a great opportunity for everyone to get into VR. Thanks for watching.

​@@GYGOtvthere would be almost no games whatsoever

@@maegnificantI want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding you, are you saying Meta is responsible for most VR games? Do you know how many PCVR Games are out there? We don't need Meta for VR Games to exist, half the Meta games are weak PS2 quality level games anyway. VR games use to be amazing titles like Half-Life Alyx but Meta made it ok to bring quantity not quality. Don't get me wrong, there were PLENTY of bad PCVR games, but the ones that were good, were REALLY good. The only thing I feel that Meta does really well is lock down the really popular IPs so that more people can't play them. Just my opinion.

@@GYGOtv what I am saying is that most studios could not afford to develop their games if it were not for the Meta install base to buy them. Most games are built for standalone first and PCVR second. There are exceptions of course, but even then most studios will make a dedicated Quest Version of their game, because their is simply more money in it.

@@maegnificantNot to mention that Meta has bought up most of those developers, so I guess in that sense you are right! All I know is VR was doing fine before the Quest even became a thing and without them we might have fewer games, but I bet the ones we did have would be better. Also please keep in mind I'm a PCVR guy first... I'm just getting my feet wet in the Meta world and it doesn't really impress me much game wise. Again just my opinion.

Thanks so much. I always do my best to do exactly that. I know even 20min+ is a bit of a commitment so thank you for taking the time to watch.

Agreed, too much negativity lately! Thanks for the comment.

Certainly the Quest Pro is better visually BUT look at the pricetag. The Quest 3 is Obviously better than the Quest Pro for Mixed Reality apps, that Pro has terrible passthrough. I'm glad you like your Quest Pro, but for the price I'd put my money on the Quest 3, and if you want the absolute best in visuals then you go with the Pimax Crystal which from what I hear beats the Quest Pro hands down for Color, Local Dimming and all that. I do however appreciate your view and thank you for sharing.

That is what has me so excited about this headset. More people will get that edge to edge experience that I first enjoyed with the Aero. It really is a game changer for VR in my opinion. Please let me know how the comparison is with VD and your cable goes if you can when you try it. Thanks for the view and the comment.

Thanks so much for the Sub! I've been a loooong time VR enthusiast too :) Glad you are enjoying the video. Lots more content on the channel with lots of expensive headsets if you are interested. There is even a motion platform if you really want to get serious. Hope you continue to enjoy our stuff and thanks again for your support!

@@GYGOtv check Patron VR - a profrssional truck driver sim with hardware I did help to create :D My old YT channel: search "Deeraztoo DK2". Currently redoing a vr game in my spare time. Looking forward to awesome high end VR HW! Thank you again!

jango71 THANK YOU SO MUCH for taking the time to share your thoughts! Some really great info here. I was AMAZED at how good the wireless was... I really expected it to be just a little better than the compression from my old Vive Pro with WiGig but instead it ended up looking as good as my Display Port PCVR Headset... AND NO WIRE!!!! I also used my 3080ti for my roomscale and the quality was still the same as the 4090 so some really great encoding is going on and I'm sure that new XR2 chipset has a lot to do with it. That is why I'm worried about the Pimax being able to compete with the Quest 3 wirelessly because it has the previous generation XR2 in it, but I guess we will see. All this and I'm still using Wifi5 so I can imagine it would be even better with the new Wifi6E standard. Pretty unbelievable and again that is just one of the things that has impressed me so much about the Quest 3. Thanks for watching and thank you again for the comment.

@@GYGOtv WiFi 6E changes little as a fellow Spanish KZfaqr (chapeka y mas) has demonstrated. WiFi 6 AX3000 is the best, but using a dongle is better (I use a WiFi 6 AX1800 dongle because I have found no AX3000 dongles except on AliExpress, one is on the way). See my other comment, the router adds time to the signal.

Even with gigabit internet I would still get random drops, lags, compression over wireless when I had the quest 2. I was ready to return it but then I got a long USB C cable and it completely changed the experience.

@@CrunchyTireThe USB C cable didn't work well for me compared to the Wifi and Virtual Desktop. I think that new XR2 chip handles the decoding of the video signal a lot better than the old chip and of course it can handle Wifi 6E. The Gigabit internet speed shouldn't matter, it is your internal network speed that affects PCVR. Thanks for the comment.

You are welcome my friend!

Should work great, please share any different results you have so others can learn as well. So what I determined is 18W isn't quite enough but 29.6W is so the break even for positive charging while you use the Quest 3 is somewhere in between. If I had to guess I'd say 20W might do it but that is just a guess.

You and I had a similar mindset... In fact I didn't want to like the Quest 3, but it is so good it won me over. It is certainly the best value in VR in my opinion. Battery life seems to be the big issue but like you said, can be easily fixed with additional products. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment. Enjoy your Quest 3!

Thank you so much for watching and commenting... I don't know what it is about this little headset but it just is fun to use. It is such a drastic weight/size difference when I pick up the Crystal now, it is shocking that I put that on my head. Then you look at the price and it really is a no-brainer!

Where can we find it?

Thanks so much for the info. Here is the link for anyone interested amzn.to/40mvTXk I knew it wouldn't take long for something to come along!

I might have a big nose 😁 but I find I can shuffle the headset around and I'm able to block out the light completely.

@@dtrjonesGlad to hear you can make your work well. As most can see I certainly don't have a small nose but I still get a little light bleed... Of course remember I spent a little cash and a lot of time trying to come up with a fix for my old HP Reverb G2 way back when I started the channel, so I'm probably overly sensitive to light bleed... O'well we all have our things. Thanks for the comment and watching as always.

@@dtrjones I can too but then it lays too low for best optical performance.

Well thank you!!! Although I think there are a LOT more than 100 so you might want to check your math. Thanks for noticing.

@@GYGOtv Well 100 is probably the most I could bare to watch lol as they keep popping up daily on my general watch list and that’s not to mention all the videos on updates and mods and Games and experiences but at least it just goes to show how popular it is though . Also it’s nice to see a video coming from an older woman for a change rather than younger men so at least I know now that am not the only older person into vr lol 👍

Great tip, thanks!

Edit: the latency numbers do not change that much but the choppy behavior stops completely.

Funny I guess I'm not too sensitive to that... I can see it but honestly it isn't much worse than other headsets and I'd say probably better than on the Aero. That is the big trade off... everyone wants wider FOV but to do that without very specialized lenses you have to sacrifice some Overlap. I guess it is one more factor to consider when looking at a VR Headset. Thanks for the comment.

I completely agree with you willybilly! Just did a video about how the Quest 3 IS the headset for beginners! Let me know what you think of the BSB, I am intrigued by that headset but there is no way I can afford another $1000 for awhile!

Thanks for the SUB!!! To answer your question, you do not need any base stations at all, the headset tracks itself with onboard cameras so even with PCVR you are fine. This is also the case with any "inside-out" based headset like the Crystal or the HP Reverb G2 among others. Thank you for the question.

What timing, I'm planning on doing a video that includes the PSVR2 in the near future. Can you tell me what you like about it and what makes it better than the Quest 3? I'm genuinely interested in learning more since I don't have a PS5 or a PSVR2. I'd appreciate the info.

Awesome, I'm just learning that now. Question for you, Do you have to calibrate it every time? Or is there a way to have it remember?

I bet you feel like a kid waiting for Christmas Morning to get here!!! I can tell you it will be worth the wait, I absolutely love mine. You might want to try to get your BinBok battery headstrap now too... I guess they are getting hard to get as well. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the tip, I did do that, set it to 960 and still had artifacting compared to wireless. It is so weird because the cable should work better, but it doesn't, at least for me.

Hmmm thats weird! Im gonna do some testing aswell once i get my hands on the Q3 - great review otherwise!

@@HakenModsThanks, and please let us know what you find out... I'm just one guy only testing the equipment that I bought, so I'm happy to hear from others and their results!

You might be right, but honestly I don't think many of the new headsets are going to be able to complete with the Quest 3's price. (except maybe Pico, but those aren't officially available in the states). IMO the Quest 3 is more than just the newest thing, because getting those pancake lenses in an affordable headset means a much better experience for the average consumer. As for Deckard, we have been waiting a LONG time and no promises it will even be coming soon. I can guarantee it will cost more than $499! The BSB is amazing too but its double the price and needs lighthouses. As for the lack of displayport... not a big deal it seems in the Quest 3, the graphics look fantastic even on wireless so maybe that new XR Gen 2 chipset it able to handle the load and honestly for the masses it works just fine. Us enthusiasts will likely keep buying the expensive stuff but I think the Quest 3 will usher in a new wave of VR users and hopefully grow the industry. Time will tell I guess. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and leaving the comment.

Hi dharkbizkit, I don't think you could really make a headset "between" those? The Quest 3 is pretty damn close to the experience in the high end so there really isn't a need for one in between. What specifically are you looking for?

@@GYGOtv in short: a bigscreen Beyond with 110 fov and adjustable ipd. Or Put into different words. sde visability on ps5vr2 Levels or better. No standalone Hardware which is Just wasted Money If you have a good PC instead Put the moneys worth from an xr2 into eye Tracking.. i wanna Share the Headset with my wife (56mm ipd vs 64mm so big Screen ist Out due to that ) i dont mind cables and prefer cable and lossless over freedom of movement but having compression which really blows in Vegetation. From what ive Seen and Heard so far quest3 lenses are so clear that asde in q3 was more visible then in q2 which is a step Backwards and the tilted lcd Always Produce aliasing even in supersampling. Both of These Sound very Last Gen Low Tier to me but granted i havent tried the Headset yet ive only Seen through the lense footage and cant Tell how that compares to real eyes. The only Headset i ever tried is the ps5vr and that Set the Standard,so what IAM looking for should be on Par or a Bit better. But If the next step into better means 3x the price ITS Not worth it. Thats why iam saying: IAM looking for that 1000 system on a Level that was the Index Pack in 2019. i mean, if the q3 is near the pimax crystal, how can pimax still justify threffold higher price so a similar set? (by that i mean, both are inside out tracking with controllers in the pack)

That is not a dumb question at all. SO the first question is do you already have lighthouses and controllers? The next question is what is more important to you? If visual clarity is most important then choose Aero. If Vertical FOV and Cost are considerations then go Quest 3. If you want both, go with the Pimax Crystal. I hope that helps. One last thing, whichever you choose, if you want to help the channel, please use one of our affiliate links in the description :) Thanks for watching.

@@GYGOtv Thank you for the reply! I do not have lighthouses or controllers, visual clarity is very important to me but I just wish I had an idea of how small the vertical field of view is on the aero since I’m new to VR. I have tried a demo of the quest 3 just not sure how I feel about picture quality as a pc gamer. $1200 is probably my budget. I will be sure to use your affiliate links, thank you.

@@vivid_clarityThanks for joining us on the Livestream today, hope we got your questions answered. For those following this comment... the best way I could come up with describing it was to say it's like the normal view you have walking around, and then you put a baseball cap on and can't see up anymore, that is kind of how the VFOV on the Aero feels. Hope that helps explain it better.

So I'm not putting planetary gears in the Quest 3 :) Joking aside, the flanges I ordered did not work so I'm working with Robert on another solution. Might be a while before we get it changed over but that is still the plan.

Wow that is a can of worms :) There are probably a lot of people far more experienced with the Quest than I am... remember I'm a newbie on the Meta stuff. It will be some time before I'm comfortable enough and knowledgeable enough about this that I would feel I'd have something to offer. I'll keep it in mind but honestly you are probably better off to seek advice from a Quest veteran, which certainly isn't me. Thanks for the request though... I'll see what I can do.

AWESOME, can you share which cable you are using? I have other viewers who are asking for a good cable and obviously I only have the one. Thanks in advance.

That is a great question, and the answer is no, I buy all my VR Headsets with my own money. What's more is I don't even like Meta (here is my rant from 2021 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qapdfNdykpbDdYE.html ) So I'm as surprised as anyone that I like this headset so much! It really is just that good! Thanks for the question.

Thank you for taking the time to watch, really appreciate it!

It was this one... amzn.to/47jYvmy but my understanding was it was as good as any with its bandwidth?

@@GYGOtv The price is very different. I ask to my self WHY. Is the official link cable TOO expensive, or the quality is the best? I don't known...

@@blustringsrl3238The official uses an optic cable... but the transfer rate isn't any better so I'm not sure why you would pay extra for it when there are plenty of other options out there that work just as well. Kind of the same concept Meta has with everything... overcharge for official accessories even though the marketplace is full of equally good items at a much lower cost. Got to love Meta.

Thanks for the question. The BinBok gets you about 3ish hours each, and it has 2 so you should easily be good for 6 hours + the 2 hours you would get from the headset itself. If you haven't yet, watch my review of the headstrap... I go into more detail there. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftZxfrNjnde-iKs.html

@@GYGOtv great, thank you for the clear response, appreciated

The Glare and Godrays were what always kept me from buying the Index. I can imagine the experience is amazing coming from the Index (which to its credit had a great run since 2016 I think?) The Quest 3 is so much easier to use and just convenient in general. Glad you are enjoying it and thank you for the comment.

Thank you for watching!

Wow, thank you! Appreciate you Steve! Obviously let me know if you have any other questions and thank you for the support.

I'm confused by your question? The BinBok is what is connected to my Quest 3 in this video. Where are you seeing the BOBOVR M1?

I wish I could help more, I can say my Wifi5 router is playing smooth on my 3080ti but I also haven't tried Alyx yet. I'll let you know if I come across a solution... in the mean time, anyone else have any ideas?

Virtual Desktop is working GREAT on mine for PCVR so it is possible. You just need a good computer and a good (uncongested) router and you should be fine. Played a ton of PCVR and it was just like I was playing it on a wired connection. Good Luck.

So the Vertical FOV is better on the Quest 3, very similar to the Pimax Crystal BUT it is more rounded at the top than the Crystal, so you don't see as wide the more you look up. It is much better than the Aero. Honestly if Vertical FOV is one of your concerns you probably would not be happy with the Aero. Thanks for the question.

Welcome to VR!!! So what are you mainly planning to do in VR? Are you thinking sit down games like racing or flying, or are you thinking about "roomscale" where you move around a lot?

@@GYGOtv Well at this point I own a CV1 which is of course outdated, but I have just ordered Quest 3 that will arrive in a week. I am a PC gamer having a 4090 high end rig and my most important goal is to play games reaching the best visuals possible. I will play Elite Dangerous, HL:Alyx, MSFS and stuff like that. So I will need to solve the battery issue to max out the timeframe I can play in one session. I was thinking about either buying a 20-30000 MAh powerbank or try to plug the headset right into the wall connector. That is why I was so happy when you mentioned this option, because youtubers don't really speak about this in their videos. Thank you!

@@Szabby999Perfect, thanks for the info that really helps. So this is the cable I used in my test amzn.to/47jYvmy but any high quality cable with two USB-C connectors on both sides that meet USB 3.0 or higher should work fine. You will just use the wall puck that comes with your Quest 3. For Roomscale like HL:Alex you will probably want a battery pack option. You obviously can plug a cable in and put the pack in your pocket, or you can use a strap that has a battery integrated in it. I recommend the BinBok kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftZxfrNjnde-iKs.html but I hear it is hard to find now. The biggest thing is to get a Pack that supports around 30 Watt output (the BinBok is 29.6) and is 5v/3amp or more. 8000 to 10,000 mAh seems to last pretty well and will give you hours of extra play time. Hope that helps, please let me know if you have any more questions... and one last thing... You are going to be blown away by the Quest 3 coming from the CV1!!! Congrats!

@@GYGOtv Thank you so much for your answer! Well, actually I would have some more questions if you be so kind to answer. As my knowledge is quite low in many subjects, forgive me if I ask utterly dumb questions...:)) 1. Do you recommend me the additional battery or powerbank for the reason that it gives more freedom in moving freely, f.e. in room scale games like HL:Alyx? If yes, so due to the fact I will play a lot sitting in a chair, maybe if I buy a really long USB-C cable that I plug into the wall adapter - just as you recommend in the video - would be just as fine in extending playtime? 2. Do I understand it right, that using a Link cable (official Meta version or either aftermarket) that makes connection between the HMD and the PC will not give me even slightly better visuals compared to the wireless connection? Just because my biggest concern previously was, that a wireless connection could never give me such sharp and detailed images as a cable could that I plug directly into my graphics card... 3. Next one will be a really stupid question, but please help me to understand the wireless connection in this situation. So I understand, that I will need WiFi connection to use Q3 in wireless mode. I have an old 2,4 Ghz router at home (was set up by one of my friends, because I don't have any knowledge about this stuff), this gives Wifi to my cellphone and laptop, and is linked into my PC with a cable, that provides internet to it. Now I want the best possible wireless connection for my Q3, so I would like to have a WiFi6e router. At the same time I use an Asus Z790-H motherboard that has got built in WiFi6e. So my question is, can I use this motherboard wifi somehow, or is it better to buy a dedicated new router or wifi dongle set up specially to the headset? 4. I was very much in headache to buy or not to buy Crystal, because I really wanted to get the best possible visual quality HMD. But honestly, with all needed accessories it would come above 2000 eur cost, so I decided not to buy. In your opinion how much is the difference between Q3 and Crystal in image quality? Would I regret my purchase of Q3 if I would have the chance to peak into Crystal? Thank you so much for your efforts, I really appreciate. So you have a new subscriber, greetings from Hungary :))

@@Szabby999So for the record, none of your questions are dumb, they are actually pretty good. Even if they were dumb, I want to help as many people as I can get into and enjoy VR and Immersive gaming, so you came to the right place. SO on to the answers. 1. Yes the big reason for the battery bank is for mobility so if you don't plan to run around the room, a high quality cable will be just fine instead of a battery bank. If you ever do decide you want to be more mobile, you can always get a battery later if you have that need. 2. SO the Quest (and any headset without a display port) operate differently by encoding the video signal and sending it to the headset as a data stream vs. just sending the raw video signal like you would to a monitor. I go into depth on this in my First Impressions video which you can watch here, all cued up for you ( kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLiifZqguqeynZs.html ). SO basically the cable should give you the best results either way... but because the Oculus software that the cable uses to decode the signal is outdated, you actually get better results from Virtual Desktop wirelessly. I hope that makes sense. 3. This is actually a really good question. As for the 2.4 Ghz it WILL NOT work for the Quest 3. I tried mine just to see what it would do and it was REALLY BAD. I honestly don't know if you can just use your computer's wifi6E but I would certainly try it before buying a new router. Please let us know if that works because I don't really have a way to test it, but in theory sounds promising. 4. So the simple fact that you are coming from a CV1 means you are going be blown away by either one. IF you absolutely want the BEST visuals then the Crystal is the way to go... but that comes with a lot of tradeoffs like comfort, price, ease of use, etc. The Quest 3 is noticeably worse than the Crystal, but just barley. I personally didn't mind the slightly worse visuals and have enjoyed my flights in the Quest 3. I can't speak for if you'd be disappointed but at 25% of the cost of the Crystal I don't think you get 4x the improvement by choosing the Crystal. I hope that helps. SO thanks again for taking the time to write such detailed questions and Thank You very much for the Sub. Don't forget you can also try out the Super Thanks button if you like what we do and want to donate to the channel... but I'm here to help you out either way.

Should not be too bad, you may need to reduce the VR settings in-game, not too many on ULTRA. get a WiFi 6 ax1800 dongle on top.

I would say you would get the same performance that your are basically seeing now, depending on what VR headset you are currently using... I don't have a 3070 so I can't test it, but I know Steve the VRFlightSimGuy runs tests on various video cards so you could see if he has anything. I would tell you that your router/wireless setup is the important part of getting the wireless performance out of the headset. Basically what you are trying to reduce in wireless mode is the artifacting and compression and lag, it really won't impact the graphics that the computer can do but you might have to turn the graphics down to fix the above mentioned factors. Basically in Virtual Desktop there are presets for the graphics card you are using and the recommended setting for a 3070 is "High" so I'd imagine it would do ok. Hope that helps.

​@@jango71I don't have Wi-Fi 6 router :-(

@@nashfan1000 Buy a dongle it is cheap.

Great question, just like everything else it wasn't as good but it was pretty dang close. I could read the gauges well, I just couldn't quite see the carrier as far out as I can in the other headsets. I actually preferred the Quest 3 to the Aero because it has a better vertical FOV even with the slightly lower visuals. The only thing I haven't worked out yet is the Motion Compensation for it, so if you have a motion platform that is still a work in progress for me. Thanks for watching.

@@GYGOtv Try ASW reprojection with DCS. It is a lot smoother than the Varjo one and it really makes a difference in DCS.

@@AlejandroLopez-wy2stI'll try it but I don't really like reprojection in general. I was getting great frame rates (40 to 70) without it and was happy with that.

@@GYGOtvi just cant understand why quest pro was bad when we got it year ago? I checked all video before about pro how bad it is for flight sim an got quest 3 to replace my quest pro, but quest pro is really better than quest 3 in comparison pcvr. I can say it immediately when i compare qpro and q3. A bit less resolution, but pictures much better in qpro!

@@khramovantonahI don't know about the Quest Pro as I haven't ever used one, and if you are saying the Quest Pro is better for PCVR, I certainly can't argue with you having never tried it. One thing to consider is you might be seeing the effect of the local dimming that is making it look better? I personally doubt the Quest Pro is better because I think it is the new XR Gen 2 chipset that is giving the Quest 3 such amazing wireless PCVR performance but again I don't know for sure, that is just a guess. Thanks for sharing.

LOL I'm still using a Wifi 5 and it is working amazingly! If it's not a congested network your Wifi 6 should do just fine. Just make sure you use the 5Ghz mode. If it does give you issues, other viewers are saying get a Wifi6E dongle and setup a hotspot so maybe that is an option if you end up having trouble. Thanks for watching.

@@GYGOtv USB WiFi dongles rely on Windows to handle the network traffic. This can result in hiccups because Windows is also doing literally everything else on your computer at the same time. WiFi routers run their operating system that's designed from the ground up to do nothing but handle network traffic. Often the performance of the latter will easily outclass the results of the former.

@@Chris-oj7roThank you so much for the info, there are so many people way smarter than me so I'm glad you all are willing to share your knowledge here. Like I said, I'm having fantastic results with my Wifi 5 Router so that is all I can speak to with any confidence. Appreciate the comment Chris.

Ha... Air is over rated, I need my immersion man!!! :) Joking aside, I prefer the fully enclosed method. I just ordered the nose blocker that DavidLee recommended so I guess I will find out. Good comment however and certainly something to take into consideration. Thanks for watching.

Shouldn't fog up that much, the default fabric facial cover is breathable and there is a fan and the headset is vented around the exterior. Certainly I've not run into any issues, the G2 used to fog up all the time. The head tracking is amazing as well, something else the G2 wasn't great at, I now don't have to turn on every light in the room to get the headset tracked.

@@dtrjonesMan you are not kidding on the G2 Fogging... I fought that all the time! Yep the low light tracking was pretty amazing... I had the lights pretty low to watch a movie in the headset (Ready Player One, of course ) and the headset tracked just fine. Lost the hand tracking pretty quickly but that is to be expected. Glad you are enjoying the Quest 3 as much as I am.

@@rangerkayla8824I've been interested in possibly trying that.. In fact I actually saw a headstrap that had the IR light built into it. Maybe I'll give it a shot someday, but since I plan to start putting more roomscale content on the channel, I'll need lights on anyway. Appreciate the suggestion!

light bleed is a no go for any headset, sorry

This topic is up for debate, but I talked about how I feel about it on the Initial Impressions Video here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nLiifZqguqeynZs.html Basically if you can afford it, I'd buy the 512GB version. That is the one I chose. Links are in the description if you want to help support the channel with your purchase. Thanks for watching.

@GYGOtv can you give a rough game size like largest to smallest. How long does it take to install a big game?

@@m4tr1xh4xk3rRight now games are around 10GB or so with the biggest being around 40GB. BUT I'd imagine you are going to see 40 and 50GB becoming more the normal size as developers push the abilities of the Quest 3. If money is a concern, you certainly can opt for the 128GB but if you can I recommend the 512GB because that is one thing you can't upgrade in the future. You are stuck with whatever you choose for as long as you own the headset. As for download speed, it depends on your internet of course but it should be about what you get from downloading any file of those sizes to your computer. Thanks for the question.

@GYGOtv it's 200 more here for the 512 lol. I could get a ps5 bundle for the same price or cheaper.

@@m4tr1xh4xk3rThe PS5 isn't a VR device unless you also buy the PSVR2 which should be a lot more expensive. It all depends if you want VR or not I guess.

Ya but you won't get that for $499. You are more in the Enthusiast Class and I don't think we will see mOLED used again for a long time (which really bums me out). If you are not in the USA, keep an eye out for the Pico 5 Pro Max rumored to come out in about a year. It sounds like it will check most of the boxes on your list but it won't be cheap so start saving now. Thanks for the comment.

@@GYGOtv Yes, hopefully the Pico 5 is really coming. I think we will see more and more mOLED Screens in the future. The blacks of LCD are really not good for VR

@@patfish3291Man I HOPE you are right about that... I SO miss my OLED screens! I've said repeatedly on my channel that I AM AN OLED SNOB! I feel like the Pico is going to be a real thing, it is the next logical step and a year out seems about right timing wise. Still LCD screens in it though from what the leaks say.

@@GYGOtv Yes, but Pico has problems with Bytedance at the moment, and we will see what the future will bring. I still hope for a Valve Deckard - Valve is the only one who really knows how PCVR should look, and feel in 2023/24

@@patfish3291I don't think you are the only one waiting for Deckard :) Been a long time, but sure seems like they have been up to something recently with all their updates to SteamVR. Time will tell I guess.

Yep, battery drain is a serious issue for this thing. You almost need additional power if you are doing anything more than just goofing around for a bit. I'm generally getting about 2 hours if I'm not in Mixed Reality.
