Hands on Quest2 VR porn - It works!

Undecided on my Quest 2 being better than the Quest 1 as of yet. Strange field of view and less adjustability. I guess my expectations for VR video are too high at this point. Still somewhat blurry. Maybe not as much?
Also, that Facebook pop up mentioning no porn is a little concerning. Anyone have some insight on unknown sources and are they going to track our content and apps?

What FB pop up are you referring to? I haven't seen anything like that, but that would have me concerned too.

Nopatience Agreed... I think the loss of deep blacks due to the new LCD really diminishes the visual performance. Also, there's a lot of "noise" in the colors that I didn't encounter on the Q1. By that I mean a solidly red wall in the background looks like the pixels are continuously shimmering, shifting, or changing slightly, as well as more faded-out. I find it distracting and sort of artificial- and cheap-looking. There's debate about whether the higher res display (including less but still evident screen door effect) and all the other upgrades compensate for that, but I'm not convinced. 50% more pixels don't improve the experience if the pixels are of lower quality overall. I might actually prefer the Q1 and return the Q2, but not decided yet.

Install FB on the same phone you have the Oculus app.

It starts up a lot faster than the original Quest but I don't find it as comfortable. The original strap is awful but the Elite straps are nowhere to be found at the moment. It's difficult for me to find a comfortable position that is also optimal for the lenses. I think I will have to change the face mask too as the pressure points at the top of my nose are very uncomfortable. Running with the link cable to the PC is a lot better than I thought, but not the best option for SLR. The stand alove version on the Q2 gives a lot higher resolution choice (though I was getting the odd pause for a few seconds), than the offering on PC even though it is a fairly high end machine.

Still pleased with it but will be more so when all the little comfort quirks are ironed out.

What the situation with Facebook do you have to upload a photograph of yourself on to your Facebook page?, I have a Facebook account but I dont have any photos of myself, I read you cant use the Oculus quest 2 unless you have photo of yourself on your Facebook.

I created a new FB account (using a new but valid email address). No photos, no friends. So far no issues.

Redhulk50 You can delete them, unless that changed, but there are no pictures on my FB.

I have purchased a Q2 and here are my thoughts thus far:

I did create another FB account and so far no issues. I made sure to double check the privacy settings on the FB account and within Q2.

I used the regular strap. It's not good at all (much much worse than the Go strap). I bought the elite strap shortly after and experience is 10x better.

Not only is it more comfortable, but it positions the headset in a way that the weight of it is not causing it to lean forward. The image is much clearer too since it's evenly positioned on my face.

Personally this should have been included with the unit. I would have rather them charge me more outright and have it bundled.

Definitely better picture and playback quality.

DeoVR is available on the store.

Haven't tried side loading SLR app.

Has anyone had any issues doing that?

keylox23 I read that Facebook dont like inactivity, what worries me if your friends and public can see what apps you have visited on Facebook when using the Quest 2.

plantninja What's the battery life like ?

Yes, if you are used to LED display, LCD will look very washed. try increasing saturation 1 (maybe 2) notches during video playback. It's not gonna get rid of it, but you -might- prefer it.

My FB has been inactive for years (not deactivated, just me not using it)

Battery life, while watching video isn't bad, even charges up if plugged into the charger that comes with it. Connected to PC it will depend on your motherboard/port. If you have a "red" usbc port it technically should get extra charging power. You could also use a wall-powered USB hub I guess, preferably with a short cord. (Not personally tested)

I've also noticed the orientation of the official Link-cable can matter. If you have issues try flipping the plug connected to your PC. I'm more inclined to blame this on my motherboard. The USBc connector is sharing it's port with a USBa, which can't switch polarity.

-
People who don't have a USBc port can use a USBc to a adapter. Tried it myself, on a 3.0 port and worked fine. Just make sure it's USB3. Try to get a cordless one, or if you must, as short cord you can.

This is the exact one I tested with:

Redhulk50 about the same as the Quest 1, probably two or three hours
