HTC VIVE Focus Vision review

Focus Vision is HTC's all-in-one headset for people who want standalone VR and a proper wired PC connection in one box. HTC lists 2448 x 2448 pixels per eye on dual LCD panels and a field of view of up to 120 degrees, the widest figure on this list, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon XR2, 12 GB of RAM, 128 GB of storage and microSD expansion up to 2 TB. Eye tracking runs at 120 Hz and drives automatic IPD adjustment from 57 mm to 72 mm. The removable battery lasts up to 2 hours, and a built-in reserve gives up to 20 minutes of standby so you can swap packs without shutting down. One USB-C port supports DisplayPort, where HTC lists 120 Hz as Beta. The box includes both controllers, rated for up to 15 hours. At $999.00 it costs far more than the Quest models, uses LCD rather than OLED, and HTC's game store is smaller than Meta's.
