- 🚨SHOULD YOU UPGRADE YOUR HP REVERB G2 TO THE DPVR E4 IN 2023? 200HRS LATER❗️
🔍 Are you considering upgrading your VR headset? Look no further! In this comprehensive review, we dive deep into the comparison between the HP Reverb G2 and the DPVR E4, two of the hottest PC-powered VR headsets on the market in 2023! After 200 hours of testing, we bring you an in-depth analysis of graphics, comfort, lenses, specifications, and our personal experience with both headsets.
👓 Optics and Display
The HP Reverb G2 and DPVR E4 both feature Fresnel lenses, ensuring crystal-clear visuals for your virtual adventures. However, there are notable differences in their display setups. The HP Reverb G2 sports a single LCD binocular display with a resolution of 1832x1920 per eye and a refresh rate of 120 Hz, while the DPVR E4 boasts a higher resolution of 2160x2160 per eye and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. We explore how these specs translate into an immersive gaming experience.
🛋️ Comfort and Feel
Comfort is crucial during those long VR sessions, and we'll provide a detailed breakdown of how the headsets differ in their design and build. The HP Reverb G2's plastic and silicone facial interface faces off against the DPVR E4's plastic and foam facial interface. We'll discuss how these materials impact the headset's weight and overall feel, with the HP Reverb G2 weighing in at 280g (without headstrap) and the DPVR E4 at 498g (with headstrap).
👀 Field of View and Pixel Density
A wide field of view can make or break your VR experience. The HP Reverb G2 offers 95° horizontal, 95° vertical, and 115° diagonal FOV, while the DPVR E4 provides 98° horizontal, 90° vertical, and 107° diagonal FOV. We'll delve into how these FOV differences affect your sense of immersion. Additionally, we'll break down pixel density to help you understand how much detail each headset can deliver.
🎮 Controllers and Tracking
The controllers play a vital role in VR interactions. We'll compare the 2 x DPVR E4 controllers with the 2 x WMR controllers (second generation) in terms of their weight, input methods, haptics, and battery life. Both headsets utilize inside-out tracking via 4 integrated cameras, but we'll analyze their tracking frequency and precision.
📱 Connectivity and Ports
Having the right ports and wireless options can simplify your VR setup. We'll examine the wired video options of DisplayPort 1.4 and USB 2.3 on the HP Reverb G2 and DisplayPort 1.3 and USB 3.0 on the DPVR E4. Additionally, we'll check if there's any support for wireless video, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth connectivity.
💰 Price and Release Dates
Knowing the retail prices and release dates is essential for any upgrade decision. The HP Reverb G2 and DPVR E4 come at $549 and $599, respectively, with controllers. We'll provide insight into whether the extra investment is worth it for the DPVR E4, considering its release on November 1, 2020, and the HP Reverb G2's launch on February 10, 2023.
👍 Our Verdict
After spending extensive time with both headsets, we'll deliver our verdict on whether you should make the leap from the HP Reverb G2 to the DPVR E4. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision based on your preferences and VR needs.

Thanks for watching today's video if you should upgrade from the HP Reverb G2 to the DPVR E4? What are your thoughts about this subject? Watch my first impressions about the PIMAX CRYSTAL here czcams.com/video/ESxCnjTZEwo/video.html
Anyone ever compare the lenses of the reverb g2 and the E4 side by side? I need to know how close together the E4's lenses are compared to the reverbs when they're adjusted closest to each other because E4's lenses are well fixed in place
I've got a big head and valve index and hp reverb g2 were both too tight on head strap and facial interface. Quest 2 with vr cover interface and bobovr m2 plus fits nicely, but no displayport there. planning to get quest 3 for pancake lenses and smaller quest / less weight / better balanced.
Hey my friend can I use Reverb g2 on Apple retina laptops with display port to use this pcvr as a second monitor only to watch my own movie from the hard drive of this same apple laptop?
Hi, I like your video comparing vr headset. I am still having occulus cv1 and I am looking to buy a new set and the G2 seems to be also my target. G2 v2 is just arriving to Europe but price still a bit to high (700€). I am looking forward to get one during black friday in november but i am just scared about HP stock going down as product will be discontinuated in the future. What are your best advice should i wait for better price or go for it now?
Contact HP see what they have to say
I would wait , also consider that many people will second hand sell their sets .
So not everyone will want to buy new, above all if the brand is gonna disapear from the vr world, sadly.
Hi, is there a way to connect additional outside sensors and connect them to Reverb G2? the controllers sometimes lose tracking.
Good question!
No Manually IPD adjustment = Major Eye Strain, Still no Pancake Lenses so no.
Fair enough
Glad to see I made the right choice with the G2.
Yep 👍
Really want to upgrade my Rift S to something else but man, it's a dire space out there for PCVR hardware. Very tempted by the G2 V2 but put off by the tracking as I play a lot of shooters. This is tempting but sounds identical to the Pico 3 link, which I had and returned.
Hello friend, how was pico 3 link compared to rift s?
was chromatic abberation visible, how was edge to edge clarity and fov on the pico 3 link? there isn't adequate information about the pico 3 link on the internet.
so i would like to hear you perspective if you do not mind.
i am currently struggling on which pcvr headset i should upgrade to from the rift s, refurbished valve index for $700 inc taxes and shipping fee, or pico 3 link, reverb g2 v2 or dpvr e4.
Thank you in advance.
i also thought about getting the reverb G2 with valve index knuckles and steam vr 2.0 base station, if i can find reasonable prices for them.
Vr essential, i would like to hear your opinion as well if you don't mind, my brother.
No issue with tracking anymore for more than a year or two already
@@vressentials So you recommend G2 V2 over pico neo 3 link and valve index?
Thank you for replying and helping me choose a PCVR headset!
Pico 4 enterprise or quest 3
G2 👍
Good choice
imho the quest 3 is the best choice for PCVR, it looks better then the E4 and can also play games standalone. only downside i can see is the lack of a display port.
Quest3 has LCD panels with NO local dimming. It's 2023. Hard pass.
In that price range, maybe. Still need to see how it stacks up against Pico 4 quality wise, though. Granted, Quest has a much larger game library on standalone.
At higher price ranges, though, I'd say Quest Pro, Pimax Crystal and Varjo Aero are all far better headsets for PCVR.
@@khaledassaf6356 Varjo Aero requires base stations so that's a no for me. as for the crystakl model from pimax, it costs $1500 without the fancy new chip quest 3 uses. guess it's better to wait for a propper new headset.
really need to move so much when filming ?
No comment 😅
I'm extremely disappointed that not a single Reverb G2 review addresses the severe latency of the G2, which characteristic is so prominent it destroys the sense of presence in the VR space; people really just get used to junk VR and don't realize what's missing. My G2 is still within its 30-day return period and my DPVR E4 arrives tomorrow. The only real way to compare headsets is to experience them yourself because reviewers are only as good as their VR pallette which it turns out can be as degraded as asking an 8 year old to review restaurants; he's gonna tell you the chicken nuggets are "the best!"
There’s no latency , u need to adjust ur SteamVR video graphic settings. That’s why no one has mentioned latency issues. Let’s clear that up!
