What the brand claims

No published claims on file for this product yet.

What owners report

  • “[...] I bought a Bigscreen Beyond 2 + 5090 gpu basically just to play DCS (Digital Combat Simulator, a flight sim with full fidelity figher jets that you can even fly in PvP multiplayer) and it's the coolest thing VR has to offer for me. [...]”

  • “I am able to take my real, physical media that I possess, and turn them into working objects in VR I can enjoy, and watch on a TV I wish I owned, in my dream room, in an intuitive way Bigscreen Beyond just doesn't support this easily.”

  • “[...] Wireless headsets also suck for simulators and productivity - where a battery only adds weights and a wire is not noticable. Personally, I would love to see a wired headset that resembles the bigscreen beyond but with inside out tracking and a universal face gasket. For wireless experiences, I'd love to be able to plug my phone in, put it in my back pocket and use it that way. That sort of "head mounted display"-first approach would make it practical to use the device for productivity / screen replacement while gaming would be dependant on your phone or computer.”

  • “[...] For example, there's no way I could do an 8 hour work day inside a Quest - but I imagine a cool lightweight bigscreen beyond would be fine. I used to love shooting games in my G2, I got the Quest and, despite having a similar resolution, I could hardly make out distant targets whether wired or not. [...]”
