In real terms, the Oculus Quest 2 looks fantastic. The RGB Stripe on the Quest 2 is a quality boost all by itself as we can’t see the spaces between the pixels, making for an overall clearer picture before you even get into the fact it’s also a higher resolution.
But more than that, the original model used a PenTile OLED display which means there are gaps as pixels don’t actually fit together in a grid entirely perfectly. The visual fidelity has been upgraded from a 1440×1600 resolution with a 60/72Hz refresh rate to a per eye 1832×1920 which is nearly 4K when combined, and a 72/90Hz refresh rate, and if you’re new to VR then know that a higher frame rate means you’re less likely to get motion sick. There have been improvements across the board for the Oculus Quest 2 on its predecessor. The crazy thing is that, as £299 for the 64GB storage model, it’s actually affordable, easy enough to set up that your Nan could get involved, and has a good enough library of games that I’m finally able to say this: if you’re interested in VR and have been tempted for a while, the Oculus Quest 2 is where you should jump in.
As someone who has tried just about all the VR there is to try, it may not be the most expensive, or even the most comfortable (that’s PSVR), but as an all-round device, I think I have a new favourite.
