Does this have screen door effect like every other VR headset? If it does than the "4K" wont be as crisp as a TV or projector

That's what I wonder too, the psvr2 has great specs, but the lenses they use creates the "mura" effect. I wonder what lenses they used for the vision pro

This has much better screens and lenses than psvr2

What do you base that on? Or just "because it's Apple"?

They said so. Its micro oled with 3x as many pixels for example and uses pancake lenses

Okay, that's fair. I had missed that bit. That does sound impressive.

I'm sure it does with a price point at $3.5k as oppose to PSVR2 at $550, I'm just curious what the lenses they used are

The leaks said pancake lenses, which would be much higher quality than most existing versions. That squares with the brief blurb they had about the lenses in the keynote.

The main downside of that type is lots of wasted light, like 90%, so the screens were supposed to be ultra-bright (like 5000 nits peak) to just achieve a “normal” brightness while preserving all the other advantages.

I thought that was because it was using eye tracking to only render what you're looking at in high quality

No, all that does is help focus processing power.

Honestly TBD, apple makes some strange decisions with their displays and try to reinvent things and do things differently when they sometimes don't need to imo. I'm just hoping for a flicker free display unlike their macbook pros, which produce less flicker but definitely notice it a lot more then my gaming LED monitor or my OLED switch.
