Buying call

Buy the Beyond 2 at Bigscreen's $959 starting price (Oct 7, 2026, with the Universal-Fit cushion; it launched at $1,019) if you already own SteamVR base stations and controllers and want the lightest high-end PC VR headset for sim racing, flight sims or VRChat. MRTV measured a 106-degree horizontal and 92-degree vertical field of view and praised its 2,560 x 2,560 micro-OLED panels, low glare and nearly distortion-free lenses, and Bigscreen says orders ship in one to seven business days. Skip it if you're new to PC VR, because there's no standalone mode, base stations and controllers cost extra, and the eye-tracked Beyond 2e costs $200 more at $1,159. MRTV also found that 90Hz mode upscales a 1,980 x 1,980 signal, binocular overlap is just 73%, and there's no built-in audio without the optional strap.
