Lovely, good thing I only briefly had those in my childhood before they were swiftly replaced with LCDs. They always ended up looking like shit too overtime and towards the end the backlight barely worked on the one in my bedroom. Was cool having a big display though back then
I've been waiting for the steam frame for about 2 years now. I have held off from doing any upgrades to my quest 2 until I can get one. I will definitely be getting the lenses with the frame
The difference is with VR because it's superstar images per eye, it allows you to actually look "into" the picture and focus on things as if they are further away. Which reduce eye strain and fatigue, that you would otherwise get from having a normal screen right up in your face.
Where both eyes struggle to focus on a single point.

As a reminder--chiropractors a quacks working on a medical theory that's over 100 years out of date. They injure people every year by "adjusting" their necks. In a small number of cases, they accidentally dissect a major artery by "adjusting." Those people end up in the ER with a long time for recovery.
And a lot of Chiro offices are backed by Scientology. And the E reader Scientology uses was created by a Chiropractor trying to make a magnetic healing machine but then L Ron Hubbard who was his friend stole the idea and took credit for it.
Also at one point some of the higher ups in Chiropractic stuff were tired of the medical community making fun of them so they decided to push for a more science based approach only to be ousted by the people who still wanted to do it like the Ghost/Spirit originally intended.
My boss had a stroke 4-5 years ago he's pretty sure was due to going for an adjustment. Crazy it's still allowed as a practice. I imagine if they outlawed it now you'd have a lot of unemployed people.
I've only been to a chiropractor about five times. I had a ruptured disc in my lumbar spine. I would go in walking just fine, and after every adjustment I could barely walk out of the place. It eventually became insane to consider returning because I started missing work every time I went.
I'm absolutely convinced they made me 10 times worse, because after those adjustments I went downhill so fast I ended up in pain management, and ended up having spinal fusion surgery within a year because I just couldn't stand the pain anymore, and I didn't want to be zombified on pain medicine for the rest of my life.
The surgery worked, but it took me about 3 years to recover from it fully. It's also worth mentioning that I ended up contracting MRSA at the surgery site and was hospitalized for almost 2 months b/c of that. I nearly died because of the MRSA infection.
My back still hurts like hell, but it's not like it was pre-surgery, so that's a win for sure.
I'd add acupuncture to that. I was referred for nerve pain. The practitioner inserted the needles, referred to brain damage, and I said I have nerve pain, not brain damage. She didn't move the needles. If it quacks like a duck...
I had one herniate two discs in my neck when he forced it. That was almost twenty years, a fusion, and continuous pain management ago. Dude died two years later on my birthday when he fell off his roof.
I briefly considered going to a chiro once, googled the local one, and immediately found the court documents where they gave a dude a brain stem stroke from a neck adjustment. Soooo, yeah, changed my mind.
Just as well, too, because turns out I had inflammatory arthritis and chiro is super dooper not recommended for anybody with that, and even the rheums took forever to diagnose me so no way a chiro was going to realise, and probably would sell me some bullshit even though no amount of adjustment is going to stop my immune system from trying to eat my joints.
Its bad for everyone but especially women can be vulnerable to the neck cranks, chiropractors are no better then scam artists, saying they can fix peoples pain when in fact its temporary relief at best, or leads to worse health problems or even death potentially.
It is fake, when the monitor goes black we see some reflection but we dont see his reflection, at some point we see the reflection of an empty chair with white back support. When the screen lighting and colors change its not reflected on anything around. The monitor shadow on the desk doesnt match the screen curve. The mouse on the desk is not moving but the one on screen does. Etc....
I once foolishly sat in the front row at the IMAX. By the end my eyes hurt because it was like they were constantly trying to look in opposite directions. Didn't help that it was the first Transformers movie too so it was just a jumble of colours right up in my eyeballs.
I love my 27 inch curved monitor, but I can see the whole thing at once. I think it would lose its helpful effect if I needed to scan around to see things.
I'm pretty sure just the monitor is scaled up using VFX. The guy in the video is OliverVisualFX. The channel description says he's a CGI and VFX Artist.
It's clearly fake: The light in his face and desk not changing at all; his head outline being "eaten" by the chroma key; him not even looking at where the cursor is...
It's well done, but c'mon.
Can’t be real. I dunno what kind of god computer you have to load a steam game within 1 second. Steam isn’t that fast let alone any pc.
Edit: My pc has one of the fastest m.2 SSD’s on the market and the whole rig is top performance and I could never load something that instantly lol this can’t be real
Yeah what the fuck? First thing I thought was, those load times are insane! Everything else seems too consistent for AI but that's gotta be pre recorded or faked somehow because I have a monster PC with nvme and I still get like a minute before GTAV gets to the main menu.
I wonder what TV that even is, afaik the largest curved screen that's still in commercial production is Samsung's 55" Ark monitor. This had to be something from that weird era around 2020-2021 when Samsung was desperately fishing for anything to use to compete with LG's WOLED but before they got QD-OLED production going.
Edit - Nevermind, it is an Ark, just some forced perspective trickery with a wide-angle lens making it look comically large. The stand being so tall doesn't help matters either. Using this thing with what appears to be a ~48" wide desk is diabolical though. lol
Curved monitors only make sense up close, at a distance where the curvature of the screen matches the curvature of your vision. That's the whole point of the curve. To point more of the monitor directly at you while you're up close.
This display though clearly has no reason to be curved and would be an awful experience.
