- Here we are with a new Comparison! Welcome to another Through the Lenses Video! The series where we compare our VR headsets to see which one is the best, and which one is the right for you! This Episode is pretty special because we are gonna see with our eyes the new Meta Quest 3 pancake Lenses comparing it with the Meta Quest 2, the generational Jump and also the mid update, the Quest PRO
Is it time to upgrade? Is it worth the jump?
Well, let's discover it in this video!

Which one would you pick?
Excellent work! Much appreciated.
Quest 3 is such a great headset. Idk if it's a game changer or not yet. I think that'll depend on how much and how well Meta updates it with new features. If they stay on it and add features like with the Quest 2, it'll be an amazing platform.
Unfortunately, I have every Meta headset released. The Oculus stuff, too. It's exciting to see how far the tech is going, honestly. But I've spent too much money 😅.
Own Q2 and Q3, and amazingly happy with Q3. Totally worth the upgrade for me, and I also use PCVR. Very keen to see your PCVR comparison, please include Virtual Desktop because it is killing the other methods. Ciao.
meta quest 3
Absolutely PHENOMENAL video. Thank you for taking the extra time to make sure it was done right. This has sold me on the fact that I need to sell my Quest 2 immediately and upgrade to the Quest 3.
If I hadn't already bought one I would be doing the same after this video.
Quest 3 is supersharp and some game have pcvr or psvr2 grafik.
Sold my Q2 to pre-order Q3. 😁
Not for me. I'm sticking with Quest 2
EHHHHHHH, the specs should be increasing way faster, they holding back.
I'm really happy with the upgrade from Q2 to Q3 in terms of lenses. I did some of my own comparisons when I initally got my Q3 and haven't worn my Q2 since. In terms of visuals I feel like it was a very solid upgrade. I can even watch movies and tv in my Q3 now and not feel like I'm sacrificing. Thank you Tyriel for another great video!
I'd love a comparison with the Quest 1 since we don't get too much to base off of when upgrading. I get it takes work to make these videos so it's completely fine if not!
Quest 1 has been discontinued
Honestly the gap between the Quest 2 and Quest 3 is about the same as the Quest 1 and Quest 2. I get people love the oled displays, but they really aren't suited for vr imo. The screen door effect has always been horrid on those displays. That's where micro oled come in.
Why oled not suited for VR? You like to see everything in grayscale?@@ItDaBiz
What about the Rift s? 😅
They still make those 😅
Some Quest Pro owners said that the jump from the passthrough to Quest 3 was not very noticeable, but this video makes it clear that it IS noticeable.
I wonder why Quest Pro owners who paid $1500 for their headset said that? It's a real mystery.
@@dtz1000 exactly, the pain
I bought both. Right now, the mixed reality is where the biggest improvement can be seen. It's immediately noticeable and actually useable now. It is also much more powerful for mobile VR, although currently all games are looking and running identically pretty much as the Quest 3 for some reason still runs at a really low resolution in standalone, so you still see aliasing and shimmer. That should improve though.
I still prefer the Quest Pro as a wired PCVR headset, and returned the Quest 3 as its mixed reality, although much better than the Pro's useless effort, is still not good enough to really be anything more than a gimmick feature right now, but if I didn't have a Pro already I'd probably say the Quest 3 is the best headset on the market right now.
It's annoying that Meta has given us two great headsets, but both have shortcomings. Quest Pro really needs that XR2 Gen 2 chip and the depth sensor. But Quest 3 needs better QLED displays and local dimming, plus face and eye tracking.
Ultimately I still prefer the build quality, design and comfort of the Quest Pro so returned Quest 3. I'm hoping Meta announce a Pro refresh as that's really what I want, a Pro 2 or a Quest 3 Pro.
@@rangerkayla8824 I do have both. Well I did until today when I returned the Quest 3. No question Quest 3 is a great headset, but for wired PCVR, on a 13900K, 4090 going back and forth between the two for the last two weeks I just prefer Quest Pro for PCVR.
It really depends on what people play. Quest 3 is a little sharper, and the chip allows for higher bitrate encoding. I could hit 960 mb/s on Quest 3 whereas my Quest Pro gets intermittent audio stutter above 500 mb/s.
Crucially, for me though, in the games I care about MSFS primarily, PC to PCVR mods and single player narrative driven games like Red Matter 2, 7th Guest etc, I just prefer the Pro for its better colurs and blacks.
I might buy a Quest 3 again in a few weeks/months. But it's lacking enough premium features for me that the Pro has, that makes me want to wait for a Pro 2 rather than get the Quest 3.
Right now, it's a bit frustrating, as both headsets are better in different ways, and I want the best of both in a single headset.
@@kevinbrook7033 all kind of visions, thank you
This is the type of video we need to see. Thank you Tyriel. Fantastic job.
Pimax Crystal vs. Quest 3...hmmmmm would that be good? I have both and I am still in shock with how good the panckae lenses are in the Quest 3 in pcvr with a 4090 just saying.
Which do you like more and why
Is it any close to the Pimax Crystal?
I was thinking to buy the pimax crystal just for that good lenses but I didn’t know Q3 have good lenses too
Thanks for your video. People treated me like I was crazy (or worse) on Discord and Reddit for saying how the SDE is worse (more noticeable) on the Quest 3 compared to the Quest 2 and this video confirms that very clearly. Coming from the Quest 2 I was shocked to notice the SDE so easily on the Quest 3 (never noticed it on the Quest 2, never looked for it) and for a several days I thought my headset was defective given that pretty much everyone was saying that SDE was gone. Amazing how subjective or even misleading some reviewers are.
Thanks for your honesty, you're part of my trusted reviewers.
You can't see the SDE in Quest 2 because the image in Quest 2 is very blurry.
Lol... I just wrote what was basically the exact same post, and then read yours. yeah. I thought I was also going crazy being able to see a clear SDE on the Q3 and not seeing any on the Q2.
@@kevinpolicoff5398 oh man, I posted this so many times on Discord and Reddit, took TTL photos to show what I was seeing, etc. And to make it worse, I asked Meta support if this was normal, showed them the photos and they asked me to return it! I didn't even ask for a replacement, only was asking if it was normal....now waiting for my replacement and in the end everything was normal, what a waste of time lol.
I guess we can now forget about it and try to get used to it, finally!
SDE is subjective, not everyone can see it but SDE being almost non visible in the Q2 is easily contributed to the fact the overal image quality is blurry, so this could easily be hiding that SDE problem behind blur, Q3 more than likely has SDE but its only visible because the image clarity is a cut above the rest unless your going for Pimax stuff, Q3 still dumps all over the G2 and stuff for the price point.
Also what are you claiming is SDE? because many have this misconception that "just seeing pixels" is SDE which flat out isnt the case, SDE is seeing the space between pixels which ends up giving you an "odd pattern" or "grid array" that destracts from the image itself. its funny because higher resolution and the arrangement of the pixels being diagonal now not vertical/horizontal means the SDE on Q3 is actually lower than a Q2 and thats accounting for the clarity loss on the Q2s image. so chances are what your claiming is SDE is not SDE but visible pixels which ANYONE will see
I wish you kept the Elite Dangerous comparison. It does such a good job showing contrast and black levels.
THE ONE VIDEO I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR!!! THANKS TRYIEL!
Honestly.. since the quest 3 was announced and came out I told myself that I'm going to wait until Tyriel comes out with another "through the lens" video.. 😆.. So I really appreciate the work you put in for another.
You absolutely do the BEST through the lens comparisons. Thanks
💪🧐
Video we have been waiting for. Superb editing. Well made 👏 Good points made for customers. big Like 👍🏼
Great video as always Tyriel.
Looking forward to the PCVR comparison and also the Quest 3 vs Pico 4, maybe you should add the Reverb G2 in that comparison, kind of a Real PCVR HMD with DP connection VS the other two. I find the Quest 3's compression a lot better than the Q2 and Pico 4, it's darned close visually to the G2. :)
Wow. Amazing work!! the passthrough shot of the time mag cover really is the cherry on top of a great video
the pancake lenses on the q3 are game changing, i no longer have to move my head to look around, i can just move my eyes
im still in awe at the clarity of the q3, that alone would be worth the upgrade for me
It would be great to see the PICO 4 in the comparison
I have both. The P4 holds up well, IMO.
Not enough people have a Pico
Pancake to pancake, as it was destined to be?
@@rushmore3927Care to expand on that a little? The Pico 4 seems to be the best comparison
Why bother? Oculus has won out with every rendition compared to Pico lmao
Thank you so much for this incredibly passionate video about such a niche and nerdy topic. I just love love love it! Keep doing what you do!
Be aware; the Q3 has a VERY irritating effect due to the lenses and angled panels, the far left and right top corners, you get a 'vignette' effect. It's not so bad in dark scenes, but it's very obvious in brightly lit areas. You eventually get used to it, but it's always there. Think of it like your nose. You don't realise it, but it's always there. Close one eye, then look towards that eye - you see your nose taking up about 1/5th of your field of view. When you look through both eyes, your brain essentially erases it from your vision - bit like post processing for the optics. The same thing happens in the Q3, but it's far more obvious. I am going to guess that, over time and constant use, your brain will probably manage to compensate for it... but it IS there, and unfortunately not many reviewers I've seen have mentioned it.
It drove me crazy the first day I used it, but now I don't even notice it unless I look for it. Definitely one of those things similar to god rays that you just learn to ignore
@GOKU10SSJ Oddly I don't find it so bad...but then I came from the Rift, and Quest 1.. the God Rays were... special in those headsets! So I'm probably a little more tolerant. But yes, there is still a little glare on bright areas. I still think it's fairly minor though.
Just to be clear, the pancake lenses are game-changing. They have a huge sweetspot, and the fact the Q3 uses dual panels, as opposed to the Quest 2 Single panel, it just makes wearing it a joy. (assuming you're using a different headstrap... and put some xtra foam on the top of the interface... and you found a battery headstrap that actually works....)
You get used to it just like humans got used to the complete blind spot in the middle of their vision over time.
@GOKU10SSJ The crap-strap it comes with is somehow worse than the Q2... I use an old Kiwi Headstrap for the Q2 with a 3d printed adaptor, works well enough. I'll probably get the Kiwi M3 Pro when the battery issue is fixed.
@zKaltern The strap is amazing for me. I did hate the Quest 2 strap and immediately replaced it but with the Quest 3 I don't even think I'll need to replace it. For some strange reason it is just very comfortable for me.

I know Vision Pro might not have same games or app. But I hope you are able to show same printed pics or graphic through the lens to match all 3 (quest and others etc) ! Waiting for that 👏
Thanks for the test Tyriel, the Q3 seems to be a beast!
Do you plan to make a trhough the lense video on the usual tested games (Elite, Asseto, DCS, ...) ? Thanks in advance
That will bé great !
Yep! It will be next
Cringe
Just purchased a Q3. Interested in MR and a bigger sweet spot, which I found lacking in the G2.
Pancake lenses are what made me upgrade from the Quest 2. The sweet spot seems 3 times bigger, with 2x the clarity on the rest of the screen. FOV also seems better. Oddly I quickly started to miss the rings on the controllers though, especially when I want to briefly hold the controller in my other hand. Now I have let it hang on the strap, which is harder to get back in your hand after.
As always: great work! Thanks for your effort over all the years! Always highly professional content! Keep on going
I swear I hear everyone say the screen door effect is gone every generation. It either is or it isn't. For me, I haven't noticed it at all even on the Quest 2. It's never bothered me, and the resolution and clarity on Quest 3 is fantastic for me. I really don't have anything to complain about in that department.
its like every console generation thinking graphics wont get any better than this
If you haven't noticed screen door effect on Quest 2 I suggest you check your sight at the local optician :D but seriously, you can clearly see it if you're looking at small details, especially in bright scenes. But during normal gaming you forget about it. Certainly not enough to bother. But with increased clarity of Pancake lenses I'm not a little worried if this will be a major distraction on Quest 3.
Thanks for the great video. Just missing any reference to vignetting on the pancake lenses and how effects clearity to the edges. So edge to edge clarity is certainly not true!
I wish there was a version with Quest 3 screens and lenses but with Quest 2 passthrough because it would be cheaper and perfect for VR-only experience.
I use not to see the SDE with my Quest 2, now with the Quest 3 I can clearly see the grid... That's a huge step back for me. I also have mura with my quest 3 that was near invisible on my quest 2.
I just want to précise that orherwise everything is better on quest 3. Even the tracking and I didn’t expect that
Having used all 3 for PCVR, I end up ever so slightly using the Pro because of the gorgeous colors and local dimming. I also found my Quest 3 had noticeable mura which was a bit jarring. The resolution bump was super nice though
Mura?
Why do you have the pro and 3
@@The_MEMEphis probably because he bought them both
@@CORNZILAA That's quite an assumption... he could have stolen it. 🙂
@@swishasweetrold yrah, people continue to mention "mura effect" in the wrong way... Mura is an oled thing...
If Meta comes out with a "Quest3 PRO" (the love child of both headsets) that has all the features of the Quest Pro such as the local dimming and better headset shell and head clamp, but with all the Quest3's features, then an upgrade is definitely in order from my Q2.
For now, I am still awaiting what comes of the power drain trouble that the Q3 has and also curious about what the BigscreenVR headset would offer in value versus Q3 as I am more a PCVR person.
Thanks for your top quality critique and and very scientific through the lens videos. You helped me decide a purchase when I got the Q2 back when it came out.
the beyond is not really a headset, its just a hmd with some really good pancake lenses and absurd resolution micro oled panels and nothing else. youre basically spending 1400€ for just those panels so obviously the quality will not even be comparable to standalone headsets
Right now I'm waiting for Sony to make the Psvr compatibility for PC... If they do that this year I know what I buy next...
Imo, i think it would be really interesting to see a comparison between the quest 3 and the reverb g2 and see if hp still holds up with this newer headsets
I was impressed with the Q3 pass-thought, quite a improvement.
I however will be waiting until VR gets Mini-OLED or similar tech at affordable prices. Say $1000 or less.
I may make an exception for Valve's next VR headset if it is actually any good. But if they go the bay station route again then I'll keep passing on that one, can't setup those.
Also no reference to the awfull internal reflections on the pancake lenses in high contrast scenes making some applications like bigscreen in some situations impossible to use
A through the lenses with ReverbG2 for resolution comparison would be savage. I thought Q3 would be a match but... Anyway lenses and controllers are way better on Q3 so..
Crank the resolution and crank the bit rate. I upgraded from a Reverb G2 too, and am loving the Q3
@@victormaniaci2104 Yeah I was told that Q3 is limited on that. Would you say that the Q3 resolution perfectly matches G2? (Well, knowing that Q3 lenses outplays completely already hehe)
@@MaNeo01 Hardware wise the Q3 is higher, it has 25 PPD, while the G2 has 24PPD. To take advantage of the full resolution, if you are using airlink or link cable, go into the Oculus PC software and increase your resolution to 1.5. This will give you native resolution after the barrel distortion losses. If you are using Virtual Desktop you have to set it to God Like to get do the same.
Getting the bit rate as high as possible will help with any compression artifacts you see.
@@victormaniaci2104 Amazing mate, cheers.
Absolutely impressive results. It shows how incredibly good the new Quest 3 is compared to its predecessors.
It's meh compared to the quest pro.
In fact I'd say it's worse.
We compared quest pro and quest 3 with a mate and while the pass through is better, it's not as good as in this video.
But the resolution is very similar, especially in pcvr, and the lack of local dimming really hurts the quest 3, especially in pcvr.
I would say the quest is a slight overall upgrade over the quest pro, and a slight downgrade in pcvr
It's literally better than the Quest Pro in all the tests here, you clearly own a Quest Pro and that's too bad for you, but don't try to lie to others, because you can't handle the truth yourself. Yikes@@Tom--Ace
@@Somtric when you compare in real live (doing it with my mate too, he brought quest 3, and i have quest pro), then you really see that quest pro in PCVR is better in colorful and black colors, and it more comfortable to wear + more FOV if wear it little angled. Mate agreed with me when compare those two HMDs.
Price to more value ratio is way off. Quest 3 is the winner.@@IEagleoneI
Being a Quest 2 owner with the Quest 3 on the way, and knowing how it looks whenever i tried to show my friends how it was through my phone makes the comparison between the two so astoundingly clear to me. That is an absolutely stunning difference, almost night and day between the two clarities, and seeing how much better it looks actually going in the Quest 2 has me so excited about the Quest 3
hey I'm a quest 2 owner do you reccomend the upgrade to me? :)
@@Glitchyy64 I'll have to wait and see since it's not here yet, but from what I've seen and heard, as far as visual clarity, weight distribution (since it isn't exactly Lighter but smaller), pass-through, and other features, it may not be worth $500 imo, but it's worth getting, i would say to wait a few months though to iron out the issues that occur
@@Glitchyy64 100% so long you can keep the Q3 charged (at least a 9v/3a output charging bank) then you should see huge improvements visually
@@123TheCloop thank you
Damn Quest 3 is sharp!
Its sharper... but is 400+ worth the slight sharpness up from Q2 I beg to wonder...
I would say yes in a heartbeat.
@@999jay999
@@999jay999 "slight" might wanna get your eyes check because not only is the sweet like 80% larger vs the Q2, colours are much better in the Q3 and Q3 has a larger FOV. if you think thats "slight" then maybe dont give subjective reasoning when on paper the clarity is superior by a large margin and almost anyone who had a Q2 upgraded to Q3 has said clarity is vastly improved
@@123TheCloop I probably do need my eyes checking *haha*, I tried the view in a demo one at Currys the other day actually, it was great and all but I still was not blown away considering the price. If the price comes down, sure I shall upgrade then and that's a fact.
Been waiting for this video since I bought the Q3... I thought I was going crazy when I was seeing that diagonal screen door, but all the people reviewing it kept saying it was flawless. I was even saying that the Q2 had really almost no SDE, and it made no sense. But I also apreciate the explaination of why there's a screen door effect (due to the lenses making it visible), and even with it, things do look crisper than the Q2. it's certainly an odd tradeoff.
Some people say that the diagonal lines were really visible before they exchanged for a new product, but it got better after they exchanged it. So I don't know if it's normal for the diagonal lines to be clearly visible.
@@weirdgivenbull
I find it funny that people claim that the quest 3 doesn't have any screen door effect. Although, it is much better, the screen door effect is definitely there. It is still not a replacement for a monitor or tv in my opinion.
thought the same thing. no clue why people say that, maybe they dont know what to look for but what iam seeing here, feels so disappointing, that i reconsider buying it. problem is: theres nothing in between this headset and the enthusiast level headsets if it comes to current gen tech. and thats a shame, because the 2 markets at the moment are standalone folks with lower demands or enthusiasts
@@dharkbizkit the lenses and extra power are nice, but I was really hoping for less screen door effect.
The affiliate income makes CZcamsrs lie.
No it doesn't have, don't confuse games that are limited by XR2 chip vs near 0 compression PCVR.... Take it to PCVR with AV1 10bit max bitrate and Wifo 6 or 6E you will definitely not be able to notice screen door effect at all
@@TRX25EX you are absolutely wrong.
Wow this is a great comparison. You always the best in terms of comparison between headsets. I can't wait for more comparison between quest 3 and other headsets. Also I see you don't test those pcvr games like car race or that space game or inside the airplane you always test in your pervious comparisons. Please test those too on your next comparison.. 😃👍
I would also have liked to see the difference with the pico 4 but thank you
Great Video, thank you for the effort Tyriel!
Do you plan to do a comparison to high end headsets like the Varjo 3, Bigscreen Beyond, Pimax Crystal or the upcoming Pico 5 Models?
Would love to see how the Quest 3 does in comparison to these :D
I got Q3, but still use Q2 because Q3 don't have good controller attachment to play Golf+ and iB Cricket. Evey time I put Q2, I have a hard time finding sweetspot...
Thank you so much for this. I already have my Quest 3 and been playing around with it a bit. One thing I really noticed was that in standing still (not turning my head) was the distortion if I move my eyes left or right on the Quest 2. (Honestly, never noticed that as much as I normally turn my head...) On the Quest 3, image is sharp in a much larger area.
I don't think I'm going to see much difference in the power of the Quest 3 till more game updates are pushed out and buying new games that take advantage of it. Though I just purchased "Into the Radius" and am swapping between the two to compare.
Your "through the camera" videos are excellent and really help me to see the differences. I love that this is your specialty. Thanks for sharing your findings.
Main thing I noticed from Q2 to Q3 is the edge to edge clarity due to the pancake lenses. That is something I notice a lot in my Q2 and can't wait to upgrade to Q3!!
I already ordered Quest 3 and can finally sell by Oculus Rift S. This video persuaded me once again that I made the right choice.
Songs:
1:46 Lupus Nocte - Astrophage
5:10 Ben Elson - Polygon
I have been waiting for this video for a long time. Thank you 👍👌✌
Really hope you do a wired pcvr comparison.
The best ever through the lens videos are made by our boy Tyriel!!🔥🔥
Whats crazy is that when I first got my Q3 and I went on reddit and said that I could still see the screen door effect, they acted like I was lying. It is definitely there and clearly visible.
Yes
This confirms my feeling that the Quest 3 actually has a little more screen door effect than Quest 2... only because the Quest 2 is a bit blurry, so it's disguised. Would take the Quest 3 visuals hands down though.
How does it confirm anything of the sort? I am seeing the opposite
@@xblur17 in the video you can see the pixels of the Q3, whereas the Q2 is blurred. You can also see the Q2 pixels are horizontal and the Q3 are on an angle.
@@HarveyTASremember our eyes see differently than a camera.
@@marcog9842 well I was saying that I do see the screen door effect more in the Q3 if I look for it. It's just so much clearer that you can see the pixels if you look at a solid color.
Actually screendoor effect is shockingly noticable on q3! I guess it is due to diagonal pixel setup. Not nice.
Amazing video as usual! 👏🏻 Now, how about one with PSVR 2 vs Quest 3. 🙏🏻💪🏻👍🏻 Thanks
Can you show Half Life Alyx in your PCVR version through the lenses?
Going from the Quest Pro to the Quest 3 in Cubism was a stark change. Made me "holy shit" out loud, haha.
quiero las quest 3 para juegos de simulacion, podrias comparar aseto corssa por ejemplo o msfs2020?
No sirven .las devolví me quedo mis hp reverb g2 .a esperar una versión con display port. Necesitas una 4090 o 4080 para jugar decentemente.
I'm definitely returning my Q2 and getting the Q3
in your video the blacks look REALLY GOOD in Q3
It could be the exposure settings. This is why I don't trust these types of videos.
In the video, the Quest 3 seems better, but in reality, comparing them in the headset, it's definitely better on the pro.
Nobody ever talks about the outer third of the Quest3's pancake lenses getting a dark vignetting effect. Is it only mine or do others have that effect too? On the Quest2 it was the same brightness all the way to the edge.
That's the pancake lenses
Getting closer to the lenses might decrease that..
It could be because the binocular overlap is terrible on the Quest Pro.
@@BoltRM I just removed the facecover alltogether and put the quest3 directly in front of my eyes, it greatly reduced the effect. Hopefully there will be some thirdparty facecover which is less thick.
@@dtz1000 no, if i close one eye, the effect is still there.
Nice comparison. It is nice that you mentioned the visible image processing on the Quest 3 camera images. It was clearly noticeable around the 7:00 mark on the video, where the Pro is "worse" but at the same time looks to preserve more information (even at lower resolution). And hopefully in the future, the next systems will actually show better real-world (source) images instead of generated.
OMG! Thx for this video! You are the best!!!
Quest 3 vs pico 4, DO IT!!!! DOOOO IT!!!!
Oh I miss the elite dangerous comparison :(
Soon ✌️
Great video. Don't think I'd seen the colour and contrast benefits of the Quest Pro in comparison to the Quest 3 and Quest 2 before.
I’ve had a Quest 2 for over a month and it’s good, but I just upgraded and this video confirms what I thought. Looks much clearer and that’s good for me since I wear glasses. Nice vid sir 👍🏿
Hi , I own the oculus Rift S and I like the effect of immersion in racing games and especially truck simulator but I did not like the experience of the video quality which is blurry so I now use 3 monitor... I would like to know if the quality of the quest 3 is much better even higher near 2k or if it is even better to wait for much more improved models ? Thanks for ur comment
Great video. My pass through on Q3 doesn’t look anywhere near as crisp as that. Gameplay looks great though. I didn’t know beat saber could look so shiny! 😂
This is the one we’ve been waiting for!
Outstanding video, with great editing.
Great comparison vid. It would also be informative to show the difference between a Q3 running at default res & a Q3 w/ Quest Optimizer installed. The upgrade in image quality is considerably more than it was w/ the Q2 or Pro running Quest Optimizer.
What's quest optimizer?
this is not in pc link mode? cuz when i link my quest 2 to my pc it looks a lot better.
Amazing video!!! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you for making this video with all the details and visuals. SUBSCRIBED!
hi, I have a problem with both my quest pros, they both have graphical glitches in the meta menus, but one of them also goes from 72fps to 64 fps or 90 fps to 64fps every few seconds, the other one is fine in pcvr, but the thing concerning is the menu and micro stutter in games. does yours do the same?
Thanks a lot for the video.... the most useful test i have seen so far on youtube about Quest 3. This convinced me even more to buy this one. 😀
Great Video! I Love the Q3 so much, it was a fantastic Upgrade. Every Time i see the Homescreen, i be blown away, because it is so sharp!
Thank you for your video and your time, really wanted to see a good visual comparison between quest 2 and 3
Very good job, as always ! You are the only one to do this comparisons, thank you
This is the best comparison video I've seen on this topic. Amazing effort. Subbed.
alright i need to know, how much should i list a quest 2 thats been purchased in 2021 for $300, somewhat regularly used, still in good condition, with one new touch controller for?
I still have meta quest 2.. I was wondering if the quest has the same problem. Like while watching a video u feel like u are using binoculars,. Black edges around the screen while watching stuff. I wanna a VR where u put the googles and u see the whole thing.
This is FOV ( field of view ) and it is quite small on the Quests
Wow, just wow! Impressive job and thank you very much for such great comparison! 👍 I really appreciate it.
Great video. I have both the Pro and Quest 3. One surprising thing, after using the Quest 3 for the past few weeks, I miss the open face design of the Pro. Not having a facial interface is much more comfortable. It doesn’t break immersion in my opinion. I hope someone makes a strap that allows me to wear the Quest 3 like the Pro.
Totally agree. It's strange how the open face design is something that went from being, "will I be able to handle that?" to "actually this is perfectly fine" to "I never want to be closed in my headset again"
@@johnadams9314 Yeah, I actually returned Quest 3 over it. I just prefer using my Pro.
Dude you can totaly remove the facial interface of quest 3 and use it with a halo style strap like bobo vr 😉
@@aurelAli1919 yeah you can. I just preferred the Quest Pro overall though. Much better controllers, and I prefer the QLED colours and local dimming blacks plus eye tracked foveated rendering, I'm a flight simmer.
I think Q3 is a great device but aside from the better encoding performance on link the other enhancements (mobile gaming and mobile MR) are for low end VR that I don't care about. I sent it back after a couple weeks. I'd love the XR2 Gen 2 chip in my Pro but I didn't really like the Quest 3. Going back to regular LCD panels and headset tracked controllers was a bigger downgrade than the better chip was an upgrade if that makes sense.
I can't wait for Quest Pro 2.
Ok, cool. I'll give it a try. Thanks@@aurelAli1919
Pretty much the only issue on the Quest3 is the screen glow, black is a dark gray.
cleaning the lenses helps alot
Absolutely, that's why we need OLED. I do think the examples in Tyriel's video show that Q3 is already a step up from Q2 in that respect as well.
It's bizarre as I don't see any screen door effect on my Pro. I saw your video before on the Pro before I got mine and it worried me but no matter what app on standalone or PC VR, I do not see any screen door. Strange.
Yes, it's just not about the lenses it's also about the processing power of the Quest 3 that gives it that extra bump. For me the Quest 3 looks better than the pro for sure.
lol
who cares about the power of the quest 3 lol, unless your a little kid, PC VR is where it's at
I don’t usually comment but thank god I found you. I just wanted a straight comparison I got the quest 2 but only played it a few times because I couldn’t get over the blurriness and it gave me a headache. Your video gives me hope I hope it works well with pcvr
Thanks for another great video! I am very interested in seeing how it stacks up using maximum allowable bandwidth vs the valve index. I look forward to it.
I'm sorry but I think the camera he used did not go too well with the screens of the quest pro, because I know from other reviews it does not look like that, especially in the passthrough...
Its strange that the quest 2 got less black lines between pixels in this comparison vs the quest 3 because i seen them all the time with q2 but rarely with q3
ma man ma man! was waiting for this video forever now. you are my go to person for VR cuz u are the only one who actually shows the lens and let me really figure out if its worth buying a headset. Was a bit impatient and went ahead and ordered a quest 3 just today. I guess from your video, I haven't made a wrong decision. Btw would love to see how PCVR fare. like Assetto Corsa Competitione, MSFS, DCS
Thank you so much, you made me finally go for the upgrade, i heard so many people complain about the pass-through to the point i was thinking it was like quest 2 but in colour lol. Through the lens comparison is exactly what i as looking for
Niiice video editing! Really clear comparisons
Hi Tyriel, why not also head-to-head compare with Pico 4? Which one has a bigger visual quality and sweet spot? Thanks.
I have a lot of glare in the lenses of the Quest 3. How can I fix this or limit the glare?
Does anyone know how the quality of locally transferred movies look on the Quest 3 compared to the Quest 2? Is it worth an upgrade from the Quest 2?
the best VR channel for making these videos
The difference between 2 and 3 seems gigantic. Can someone that upgraded confirm that the impact is so huge in practical use? If so, I will buy the 3 immediately.
Thanks for the video Tyriel, this videdo is exactly what I was looking for.
I just got a quest 2 because I’m not sure if I’ll like it or not but hopefully I do
Such an *excellent* review! Very, very helpful. Thank you!
