So I stopped by best buy to demo the Samsung Gear VR with a Galaxy S6 phone, which apparently has a higher resolution than the HTC Vive and Oculus Rift.

I put it on, and the first thing I immediately noticed were a ton of tiny black dots that separated what I assume were individual pixels. The clarity just wasn't there.

At best, it's like watching a 1080p video maxed out on a 4k monitor. Or a 720p video maxed on a 2k monitor.

Maybe I'm too bent out of shape over graphics, but it seems to me that until they can get higher resolution, it's not going to take off.

I'd love to drop the cash on the HTC Vive, but if it's similar in quality to Gear VR, it's just not worth it imo.

Anyone try Gear VR + oculus or vive?
