Well, unless you place the virtual canvas to fill practically your entire FoV, it will end up showing less than 4K in terms of pixels really depicting the movie (and, given the AVP has a non-standard ratio, it will never achieve full 4K no matter what).
With a proper home cinema setup youād get each pixel on your blueray to be projected accordingly on the canvas (well, I only have this kind of fake 4K projector, which uses shifting but I am speaking for those who have a full 4K projector). So I would expect it to be superior in terms of acuity.
And there are a number of other factors which make viewing a movie in a cinema, home cinema or headset three distinctly different experiences anyhow.
But itās still great that you can get a great experience in such a relatively small device. We should cherish what we get gifted rather than always debate why itās not yet completely replacing the other options.
100% agreed.
In the end itās about the experience a device offers and how much I enjoy using it, this gets forgotten too often when it is in fact what separates the successful from the unsuccessful devices.
This is gonna be fun!
So big announcement from Samsung next month.
Niceeeee!! Hopefully it can at least match the AVP quality. Although I really enjoy my AVP, of course Iād buy a similar headset that DOES support steamVR in a heartbeat! Really looking forward to this!
Canāt wait for for Google to suck all the air out of the room, upending and splitting the entire market, and then growing bored and consigning the whole thing to their vast project graveyard a few months down the line, joining every other toy they have ever had a passing interest inā¦ 
EDIT: Okā¦ I think Iāll add this, which may sound crazy, but I am absolutely seriousā¦:
Any ālittle guyā being offered a big fat cheque by any of the industry elephants; Do take the f-u money, by any means ā donāt miss the opportunity to enrich yourself from the machine, but please be careful to avoid any no-compete clauses, and irrevocably signing away exclusive rights to any technology. Iād hate for any possibility of rebuilding VR after the giants have trampled everything and moved on, to be blocked by patent-trollingā¦
Could end up that way but I think this time with Apple, Meta/LG and Sony going all in on VR it makes sense to at leaset be on the bus. Google Daydream was cute but PCVR killed it before Qualcomm put the boot in.
I think mobile phones and VR could make a come back at some point. Plug a BSB into a Steam Deck affair.
If nothing else Samsung will want to undercut Apple at every turn and LG will want to out do Sony when it comes to panels. Weāre heading into the real era of mainstream VR.
Though I wonāt put a lot stock was n LG til they do something. The LG360VR was a wasted buy for any that did. The LG Ultragear ended up only hyped but never released and was originally going to be Valveās next endorsed headset after HTC
But yeah should be interesting to see what may come.
