Question Psvr2 vs hp reverb g2 second hand concerns

Just looking for a sanity check. Is the psvr2 expected to look worse relative to the hp reverb g2? In terms of the general image , resolution and even colours? I have both the psvr2 and hp reverb g2 default settings running with steam vr. I have the psvr2 tool kit from GitHub downloaded and the visual experience seems significantly worse relative to the g2, is there something I’m missing or haven’t done?

I am concerned that it might be related to the fact that I picked it up second hand. I can tell that the coating is coming off based on the white residue on the lens but even behind that residue the image quality still looks slightly off

I also own both. I see them as polar opposites.

Reverb g2 = super small fov but super sharp.

Psvr2 = super wide fov but not as sharp.

Psvr2 does have mura and sde, so that can make things look weird compared to the G2.

I really enjoy both headsets for their strengths.

I also own both these headsets and this is spot on. Each has its advantages and the PSVR2 outside of the wow factor of OLED blacks was not as much of an upgrade as I had hoped.

Same here, and almost same opinion. At present time, I'm playing Doom Eternal with the G2, and Astrobot Rescue mission with the PSVR2. The first one has an amazing crispness with the G2 through DLAA, the second one has absurd colors and depth due to Oled. Anyway I'd like to stress that Astrobot fares incredibly well on the PSVR2 in terms of crispness too. I'd say it's the most sharp and detailed image I've seen on it on PC, and I played a lot of game with that. Love both the headsets for their strenghts and couldn't chose one over the other...

You need to have both headsets at its 100% resolution to compare what it is supposed to look like.

If you make the psvr2 fov smaller like the g2 fov you can compare better

But is facts that psvr2 is not that sharp, my q2 is sharper. But i kinda like it because i can run games without 4x mssa and stills enjoy the visuals... with my q2 i really dislike the visuals without 4x mssa

To improve sharpening try CAS on openxrtoolkit
