PICO 4 Ultra 256GB - VR and Mixed Reality Headset

Upgraded from a wired Oculus Rift S gen 1, and the difference is night and day, really I didnt believe the advertising before that its more comfortable and provides a better image or that it can do streaming from pc wirelessly without issues.Well all those came true, streaming is awesone no hiccups with av1 decoding/encoding, games work perfectly virtually no lag, its almost not noticeable, beat saber does have a bigger delay but with adjustment its almost the same, and the best part if you want it to be the same, just grab a type c cable and use it wired!Screen and ipd adjustment are amazing, in the rift s i could clearly see the pixels with this its way less noticeable. The clarity is great and the colors are well oled cannot be beaten, no more grey darks, and no more yellow whites.Pico connect app works fine, sone settibg tweaking is required for better quality but it still is a great streaming app, and yes it works with youtube and with sbs movies.There is a pico app store and some games can be found on it but i still prefer streaming from steam.Updates are pushed fairly often and all settings are adjustable, developer mode is easy to unlock and adb debugging is also available. As for other settings Hand control is also great, no controllers required! Its a bit of a weird mess but when the lighting is good it works amazingly.Definitely my new favorite.

I bought this after a few tube reviews, particularly Simhanger and VR Flightsim opinions which are based on the Pico4 not ultra.For FS2020 the Pico Ultra beats the G2 on the clarity, increased clearer view. Using the Pico connect app this gives you the option to tether via USB cable to the PC, the untethered method via Wifi worked surprisingly well too, but I think its more stable wired for FS2020.Their software also gives you tweaking options for resolution and colour etc. which have enhanced FS2020 for me.Weight, comfortably balanced on the head with the battery at the back, far better than the bricks of the G2&Quest 2.A fan in-built to the HMD which is quiet but does stop my face melting as it did with the G2. This was the deal maker .There maybe better headsets out there but my retirement of the much vouched G2&Q2 may stand for something.Suffice to say for VR in FS2020 you still need a powerful PC.Also its a good standalone headset as per Quests .

the device itself is great. works brilliantly, but at the moment there aren’t many games that makes use of it.

Great lenses, great high resolution panel, really good tracking, good camera for passthrough. The software setup is also really good.Sadly quite a few games on the Pico Store don't work on it, doesn't have jack connection for earphones and the PC connectivity without any option to use Displayport, like on the Pico Neo3 Link makes this a much worse option even though the hardware got better in a lot of areas.I really hope their next VR headsets will have Displayport / HDMI support, as the standalone and wireless connection options are orders of magnitude worse : (

The media could not be loaded. Great headset, confortabil to wear and modern design and the battery life seems to be decent, perfect as a first VR headset, you get a few free games plus another one when you send feedback.If you have already the Pico 4 don't upgrade,no significant/visible improvement, wait for the next model.Downsides: store content and no monthly subscription compared to competitors.

Excellent build quality and although they might not have as many games as the Quest 3 the mixed reality is better and they feel more comfortable especially when watching 3D movies etc.

I went into these trackers expecting them to be somewhat decent but probably have bad tracking and some videos online definitely had me wondering if I had made the right decision to buy them but once I got my hands on them and used them myself I can say that most of the stuff they complained about was false and also straight up not true at all and I love these trackers they work great :)

What a lazy upgrade this is, hardly any improvements especially in the resolution department and the enormous amount of glare and reflection you get just by wearing the headset, when I first put the headset on I thought the sticky lense protector had smeared the screen but nope this is how it is!! Sometimes you can see multiple reflections just from holding the controllers.The spatial camera is an absolute joke ( I own 2 3d cameras) and the resolution of the photos are terrible with lots of grain and noise on the photos and believe me you won't want to show them to anyone. Instead of silly unnecessary gimmicks like the spatial camera they should have focused on improvements to the lenses and sort out the glare issues, the sweet spot is also very narrow and as soon as you look left or right everything becomes blurred!!The colours looked washed out and dull when playing Vr games or watching videos.The lack of a 3.5mm jack is also a mistake, they could have taken the cameras away and replaced with this to save money?The Pico store has always been more expensive than the Meta store so be aware of that but I actually bought this headset for pcvr ( rtx 4070ti) and in the odd game it looked ok but nothing that gave you that " wow" moment and again it's because... THEY COULDN'T BE BOTHERED UPGRADE THE LENSES!All I can even if you are considering the Pico 4 ultra for pc vr the glare & the blurry images are bad enough to look elsewhere.One point we all know and thats what Bytedance also know is the design is great with the even weight distribution making the headset more comfortable.I am sure the only reason the Pico 4 ultra exists is they must have lots of spares from making the original Pico 4? As I mentioned such a lazy uninspiring upgrade and with that I cannot recommend this Pico 4 Ultra ( I got it on sale and still feel ripped off)
