I am extremely excited for real, accessible VR technology since I was a little kid.
However, I do NOT want compromises. Screen door effect, low resolution etc..is the main reason I am waiting for CV1. It's difficult, I admit...but I simply won't and can't blow, say €350 on a set and then accept flaws like low resolution and SDE. I want the real thing that is as good as it gets. Luckey himself said that CV1 will be way, way better than DK2 and he literally did NOT recommend to get the DK2 "except if you're a developer".

I think the idea that it's a development kit so nobody should have negative opinions on it is nonsensical.

If you really want no compromises, then CV1 may not be what you are looking for. While greatly improved, it will still have a visible SDE. There is no way at this time that the CV1 will have a 4K display (really the minimum resolution where the SDE *might* be completely removed).
I don't see full screen clarity until at least the second or even third public versions of the Rift.![]()
