How sick of Pi's VR hype are you?

While we wait, a nice little post on reddit about why the PSVR full-RGB OLED screen is divine:

Most people tend to go into PSVR with a biased attitude expecting it to be inferior to PCVR. First of all it has a lower resolution right? Well the PSVR screen does have fewer pixels that can be directly manipulated, but it makes up for that gap with having 50% more sub-pixels for each pixel. Samsung's Pentile technology is really good for smartphone and other screens and images look vibrant on them because they use an alternative layout of sub-pixels that unnaturally enhances the colour green. The colour most distinguishable by humans. Pentile display uses: RG-BG pattern for 2 consecutive pixels, RGB display uses : RGB-RGB pattern for 2 pixels So, for the same amount pixels PSVR has more sub-pixels by 2:3. Now, let's have a look at the resolution and see which display has more sub-pixels. 2160x1200x2 = 5,184,000 | 1920x1080x3 = 6,220,800 (20% higher) Consider the fact that all three displays have almost the same FOV. They may even run some of the same games. The top one will have a higher resolution and therefore be able to define fine detail on objects and text and will also have a relative increase in processing power requirement. The increase in resolution alone is merely 25%. The second however has the advantage of having more sub pixels crammed in to produce a higher density image. It uses this to alleviate screen door effect instead of increasing the resolution and having to require more processing power. Consider the DK2: 1920x1080x2 = 4,147,200 Oculus have managed to increase the pixel density by 25% with the consumer version in order to minimize the screen door effect. While PSVR manages an increase of 50% in sub-pixel density over the DK2. There's a lot more to technology than reading off the back of the box.
