As I noted in my last post, in the through-the-lens videos comparing the Index with the G2, the Index looks almost exactly like what I see through my Odyssey+ unit. The Index also looks to also be employing a diffusion filter, given the softness of the image.

The G2 image is so much better than the Odyssey+ that it's hard to put into words. When looking at things up close, The O+ is very nice, but that fall-off in clarity happens rapidly when any distance is added to the mix, and even at a short distance details are lost. This is 100% a function of the "numbers on paper" and there's no magic which can change that. Resolving power is a function of raw resolution. And, while neither the G2 or the Index can match the contrast and color of the O+, the G2 comes really, really close. Again, the videos show the Index to be pretty lacking in that regard.

I won't even attempt to compare controllers and tracking with the Index, but when it comes to displays, I'm struggling in the same way to understand how the two could be compared.

Here's another which talks about the image fidelity of the G2:

Ya Norm is the master of everything VR. I think in the early days I found out 80% of what was going on in VR industry through him. Did you notice he confirmed everything that was wrong with the tracking / battery life and stated he wished he could buy a headset without the controllers?

I used 2 fingers and pushed the headset closer to my face and that evens out the image a little more but I am still not convinced with this thing. I did already state the image is a little better than the index, my problem is the image is not big enough or an even quality throughout.

Watching this guys video to figure out how to use my index controllers with it.
First thing he says was hey you can hook up your old vive for the set up process. I am l like cool let me pull it out. It WILL not ---smurfing--- CONNECT to my PC no matter what I do. I finally brought in my media PC into my computer room which only has a 970 graphics card and everything works fine on that one. Funny I realized using the Vive with a 970 graphics card was basically the same as what I had in 2016 when I first got VR. I went into a steam Home and then went into a Half Life Alex room… OMG I know how it is supposed to look with a 1080-ti in the index and it legitimately looked like Half Life Alex running on a Quest 1, I could not believe how far we have already come. I am sure it will be even another step once we are able to get are 3080’s if they are ever in stock
