Fair assessment. It’s got all the bells and whistles except OLED. Makes me wonder if they’re planning on an OLED model in a year or two like they did with the Deck. They know there will be plenty of double dippers.
Apparently OLED has issues with brightness. VR lenses tend to cut out an awful lot of light (I’ve seen a lot of unhelpful diagrams with lines on them that try to explain the problem) so you need a system that outputs a lot of light or you need to use much more expensive lenses.
My guess is valve had a price point and using the better lenses would significantly cut into that.
It’s worth pointing out that I’m pretty sure the PlayStation VR uses the same lenses. I’ve never had a problem with that so I doubt it’ll be a major issue.

Makes sense. Personally the lack of OLED isn’t a deal breaker for me. It’s a big upgrade in every way from my ancient Index
I waited long enough. Just gonna go ahead and get the psvr2 with the pc adapter.
