Buying call

Buy the MeganeX 8K Mark II (shipped from Japan, so US buyers may owe import duty) only if you already own SteamVR base stations and controllers and wear glasses, because its built-in diopter adjustment from 0 to -7D lets many nearsighted users play without frames, which the Bigscreen Beyond 2 and Pimax Dream Air don't offer. Shiftall rates the main body at 179 g and lists 3552 x 3840 10-bit HDR Micro-OLED panels per eye at up to 90Hz, 95% DCI-P3 color and motorized 58 to 72 mm IPD. There's no eye tracking or built-in speakers, base stations and controllers aren't included, Shiftall publishes no field of view (UploadVR and Road to VR report roughly 90 to 100 degrees horizontal), and orders can't be canceled, returned or refunded once placed. Skip it if you don't need the diopter, since the Pimax Dream Air Lighthouse has the same resolution plus eye tracking and speakers, and the cheaper Bigscreen Beyond 2 is lighter at 107 g.

Best for
