Bigscreen Beyond 2 review

Beyond 2 is built for people who already play PC VR for hours and want the lightest headset they can get. Bigscreen lists it at 107 grams, 20 grams lighter than the first Beyond, with dual 1-inch micro-OLED displays at 5120 x 2560 combined and a 7.2 micron pixel pitch. Bigscreen measures the field of view at 116° diagonal and 108° horizontal through new pancake optics, and each eye has its own IPD adjustment. Fit is the selling point: you scan your face with an iPhone and Bigscreen makes a Custom-fit Cushion to match. The catch is that it is only a headset. You need a PC, at least one Valve Index Base Station and SteamVR controllers, none of which come in the box, and refresh rates stop at 75Hz and 90Hz. The base model starts at $1019, ships in 1 to 3 days and has 14-day returns. The Beyond 2e adds eyetracking and dynamic foveated rendering from $1219.
