justsomedude101 I haven't noticed any screen door effect as of yet
It's probably there but you probably have to really rally look at it to notice it
I don't notice any SD on the Pico 4 with its pancake lense 
Is Quest 3 actually better?

No way, you can't trick me into looking for them. Once I spot them I'll never un-see them 
justsomedude101 lol yeah, my bad don't look for it 
justsomedude101 problem is though, now its in your brain, subconsciously you will look for it until you see it. 
I had this similar problem with my dead pixel on my first Q3 and I tried my best to not think about it but my eyes betrayed me and found the little bastard pixel every time I switched the unit on, pointed to it and said look here I am.

I have a question to the screen door effect. I checked if it is realy that bad and all I read is that it is way less then with Quest 2, some say that it is gone with Quest 3. Then I saw a post on Meta Forum with a guy asking, if the screen door effect in his Quest 3 is normal with no Kudos and no answers. So everything I hear about the Quest 3 is, that it is great and way better then Quest 3 in every regard. Are there maybe different displays?

Ssiebert204 I can see some screen door effect but it's very minimal and you mostly notice it when something is white. Doesn't bother me much and I'm very resolution and quality oriented. I guess everyone is different though.
It's a tradeoff for getting the increased FOV which I think is well worth it (some technique with canting the displays and what this means for the matrix can't quite remember the technical details).

But have you noticed washed darks... VR180 content is incredibly clear, but classic cinema and regular 2D films are unwatchable. My eyes hurt after using the device for more than 45 min. Have you used a device like Quest 1 with OLED panels?

Vrsumo2017 Are the God rays noticeable while watching vr videos?
The resolution is incredible. However, for watching films it's a significant downgrade from OLED at any level. It's like watching films through a cloud. It's as distracting as screendoor effect for watching films that have a lot of darks.
Quest 3 is much better than Quest 2, but it's only marginally better than GearVR at certain tasks.
[deleted] I hate the SDE with GearVR and the FOV is also very small.
Using it with S10.
Bit of a unique situation on my side, I had every oculus/quest headset up until the quest 1, then jumped on to the pimax 5k+ during the kickstarter back in the day. Have been using that headset since then and never tried any other modern headset release since then. Hate how buggy pimax can be but the resolution and FOV were more than enough for me. Since then I have been itching to try passthrough but only if the headset had a decent dual color camera system and finally decided to stop waiting for the next great 1000+ headset and get the quest 3. I am actually quite impressed, it actually looks more sharp than my pimax 5k headset, yes the FOV is smaller but I actually dont mind that at all even having been spoiled with a huge FOV all these years. The optics are super clear on the quest 3, the portability is awesome and the color passthrough is actually pretty impressive as long as your surroundings are well lit and the PT porn is absolutely incredible with this thing. Well worth the upgrade. I also love that I can still use oculus link and tether it to my PC if I want. The only thing I have left to figure out or setup is how to stream my downloaded media to my headset these days, so if anyone has any suggestions let me know.

Depends on the player I am using. With HS, I am using SMB shares. For DeoVR, I bought a DLNA server app. With Skybox, I prefer Airscreen which requires installing an additional Skybox client app.
SchnuppiLilac Thank you, do any of those support passthrough? So far I have only used the airlink option and it works good but it does not support PT. Also, I might be thinking of some old ass posts but I thought DLNA was no longer going to be supported on DeoVR?

I don't think it's worth upgrading from the Pico 4, to be honest. The Quest 3 does look sharper, and the passthrough, in my opinion, is not that much better; it's still grainy, but you can see the real world true to size, unlike the Pico 4. I'm dealing with two problems with the Quest 3: the binocular overlap and the headphone audio being really low, and when it comes to porn, you know it's a big deal!
metichemsi DeoVR supports DLNA but nothing else (like SMB). DeoVR is the only player that supports alpha PT and this, at least currently, does not work over DLNA. So there is no wireless streaming option for downloaded alpha PT videos at all. What will work with DeoVR and DLNA though is the chromakey PT.
metichemsi Seems like a lot of people make the mistake of only thinking about the hardware when buying and not giving any consideration to the software. There is zero possibility that some small Chinese company will be able to compete with the likes of Meta or Apple when it comes to the software.

I hope deovr supports smb soon, I could never get my deo dlna to work right. 
Vrsumo2017 whenever they get a Unity team right and it gets further down to-do list.

I'm very pleased with it so far. I've played a couple of enhanced games including Red Matter 2 and the improvement over the Quest 2 is significant. I'm keeping my PSVR2 for No Man's Sky and Gran Turismo 7 and the forlorn hope that Sony will release some more big titles one day but I expect to use the Quest 3 a lot more. I've watched a few adult videos on it and it handles 5K very nicely. Perhaps it's worth adding a 5K Quest 3 option to the video downloads?
I haven't noticed any screen door effect. Then again I never saw the mura on PSVR2. My eyes might not be the sharpest! My biggest complaint is the strap is awful. If you buy a Quest 3, factor in buying an elite strap or an alternative. You won't want to use the strap provided. Also buy the 512GB version. 128GB won't be sufficient for serious users. And battery life is about 2 hours no matter what I'm doing on it.

Vrsumo2017 What did you try so far to make DLNA work? My internet router has a built-in DLNA server which seems to be pretty decent but since it can only handle NTFS I am not using it. The software that I am using now was easy to set up and works fine with DeoVR (except that I usually have to restart it when I am using it every once in a while).
SchnuppiLilac just like a file sharing folder on my computer, I'd put sum videos in there but only a few would show, so say I put 20 videos maybe like 5 would only show sometimes not even show up at all, so I just gave up on it, plus I didn't like moving my files around
With skyboxvr it's simple, I just log into my computer and go to my folders where all my files at.
Hope deo gets that soon tho. I saw they were going to in some thread they mentioned it.
