Quest 2 disappointment

Hi,

So, I've just upgraded from CV1 to Quest 2, and launched Elite Dangerous. While I can't see the subpixels anymore due to increased resolution, I must admit that I'm quite disappointed by how it looks. Text still looks incredibly blurry.

Is this other people's experience, or is there a setting I've missed somewhere?

I'm using 10 gbps data link cable (well, it says 10 gbps but Oculus testing only said 2.5), and it's plugged into C port on my 6900 XT through Steam.

I run Horizons at SS 1.0 and HMDQuality 1.25 and text looks perfectly clear to me. In my Cobra the text on the keyboard to the left if easily legible, as is the text on the chair adjustment thing between the seats. In-game text isn’t blurry at all for me.

I tend to use AirLink now, but using the Link cable gave me similar performance.

Have you tried messing with the HUD brightness settings in the right-hand panel?

It is weird, because I used to have a lot of different headsets and the best I have at this moment for elite is the Quest 2 with Airlink. For me Airlink is way better than Link.

Something I've heard, and you may be interested in: It seems that, recently, a batch of Quest 2 have been released with some defect lenses which make the visual inside the quest 2 blurry not a lot but when you try 2 different headsets in the same time, it is very noticeable. A friend of mine used to have this issue and I have read some people on Reddit confirming this issue.

Maybe it is just simply your IPD which is not well-adjusted with the lenses, have you modified the position of the lenses?, What is your IPD?, maybe, you are simply out of the range covered by the 3 positions of the quest 2.

The quest 2 for elite can be very good, just to give you an idea, I used to try/have for elite :
Oculus cv1, HTC vive, Oculus rift S, Samsung odyssey, Oculus quest 1, Valve Index

Recently, I have done a lot of tests between my valve index and the quest 2 and after tweaking as I wanted my Quest 2 to get the audio and the fov of the index, I arrived to a conclusion that my index was not able to compete with the quest 2, and I sold it.

With the index I can see the screen door effect which I don't see with the quest 2 and the resolution is much clearer for me in elite especially the text, everything look way sharper for example in SS at 1 and HMD to 2.0 in Horizons.

my Quest 2 is now modified like that :
  • Elite strap with battery (5/6 hours of gameplay in elite wirelessly)
  • I'm using the valve index speaker, I sideloaded an android equalizer app to have the same audio quality of the valve index at the root of the Quest 2 not just in PC mode : here
  • I'm using the Minimal Foam Replacement Set for Quest 2. It gives me the same FOV horizontally, but not vertically (the index is a bit bigger)
And to finish in wireless with air link which is perfect for me on Wi-Fi 6, obviously. I'm using a RT-AX86U router

I figured out what was happening. SteamVR Res was still set to CV1 settings.

Glad you got it sorted 👍

Going AirLink wireless has been a revelation for me, and the screen is now good enough that I’ve started watching stuff in the virtual cinema - it’s been great to watch some of my favourite 70’s & 80’s movies on a big screen at last 😁

Sadly can't go AirLink as PC is wireless and I don't quite has the desire to go drilling holes in floors just to run network cable.
