If they made it any higher in resolution the result would be difficulty in getting games to run smoothly.

however since your vision is in stereo, while each eye is only seeing 960x1080, the full effect is a full 1080p image, the varied focal point causes the pixel overlap to never be absolutely perfect.

it's still a significant jump over the rift, when i tested their HD version of the devkit the difference was literally night and day quality wise.

If they used OLED instead of LCD (they wont of course) then the very minor gridding (less of an issue on 1080p units anyway, but a very clear issue with the first devkit), would be virtually non-existant and lend a much cleaner, vivid image.


do you expect a possibility of future versions to use OLED? im just asking your personal opinion, i understand if you cant answer. 

Doubtful unless OLED tech gets cheaper, its not a huge issue though, generally at 1080p shared across two eyes the pixel density is a nice ballance between clear and demanding too much power from the console, OLED would increase the cost somewhat, i can see it happening eventually but for launch they would want to attack the cheapest option agressively to increase initial adoption.

For me, its exciting and fun, but i am far more excited at the possibility of VR headsets becoming more common, as it increases the chances of much better units further down the line, even if that occurs in a future console generation.

We are at a point where increases in console tech make only so many differences on the average consumer display.
