I saw the price in Europe went up so out of curiosity, checked out HP's website on the G2. It sent me to connection.com or something like that. Their privacy terms put me off, very slimy.
Are you guys ordering from them or is there an alternative?

Yep, ships from Taiwan ~14 Oct. to distributors with expected delivery to pre-orders before the end of the month. I just hope I'm not expecting too much for desktop VR again. Jumped in too soon last time.

Latest is that HP has pushed delivery of pre-orders out to early November.

Saw that video the other day. Looking forward to trying it in AH.

Quest 2 doesn't run at full resolution/FPS on the Link cable yet. So those Quest graphics are only going to be "Quest 1" level.

Got it yesterday

The WMR is different as my vive pro did not use it

The headset is smaller and lighter than the pro

But it is not as deep and its eye well depth cannot be adjusted like the pro

Makes wearing my mr.magoo glasses very tight

Resolution is sharper but only if I look straight ahead and dont turm my head or the plane

But movement causes blurriness on the ground and planes making it harder to score hits

Its not a frame rate issue though I did try lower the res setting in wmr settings

Any of you WMR VR guys have a clue what causes this movement blur?

What kind of fps are you getting in Aces High, and what is your FOV set at?   It sounds like a performance issue.

How do you find the sweet spot compares in size to the Vive's?

To me the sweet spot is about the same size but the clarity is slightly better.

The right ear speaker has a loose connection - it goes in and out when you touch it or turn your head - so now I get to go down that rabbithole...

Frame rates were good > 60 at the worse over busy base

Cpu is a I9 and the gpu is a 2070

Good headset for the price point but not the replacement for the vive pro I thought it would be

I have just a 1080 video card, running my Reverb (1st gen) and my FR dips well below 60 at busy bases.    The unit I have now is a replacement under warranty (which was a pain to arrange with HPs support, but when I finally got through to the right dept/person, the exchange went smoothly).   I dont use the earphones - still use my headset with mic, over the top of the Reverb.   My youngest son was visiting and wanted to try it out, we found the new headset has a non-functional earphone.  Cant remember if right or left, but I don't need it anyway, and the warranty is over now besides.

I wish the sweet spot was larger - resolution great as you say, but only in the smallish sweet spot.   Everything outside of this is fuzzy or unfocused.   You learn to look directly at anything you need good clarity for.
