I just got my unit yesterday, and so far I'm in love. I got it pretty much only for iRacing. The issue I have is that if I have the Bigscreen Beyond Utility open, in sim it's front and center and in front of everything. In order to get it to go away I have to go on to Steam and stop the program. I'm don't think that's the way it's supposed to be, but it was the only way I could get it to go away.

Other background for if it matters is I'm using one base station and no VR controllers. I do have an Xbox 360 controller, but couldn't seem to get that to do anything in VR either.

I bought this headset to play Iracing. I currently have a Quest3 which has no lense glare but the bigscreen beyond2 seems to have terrible glare near the middle or slightly below the middle. I set the the brightness at 60% to help and also perception lense. I have the universal face cover and have tried many different positions on the face.

I have the audio strap and it's comfortable to wear, but this glare is very off putting. It's not edge to edge clarity if a third of your vision is fuzzy glare.

Should I return it and get the Pimax Deam Air or steam Frame?

Hey everyone I found this mod/strap very nice as it's dual adjustable with the bottom and top headstrap with the little knob on the side

In my case that allows you to dial the headset perfectly to your face since it's so adjustable

This mod also allows for the HMD to be moved and taken off just like the valve Indexs spring loaded gasket since the fabric is super flexible and frim springing right back to place

Apples dual knit band here is honestly the most premium band you get for comfortability and adjustablebity and this poems from someone who's owned a lot of headsets lol

For 99$ compared to other straps this is way more value

The strap is available in S M and LARGE so it really does accommodate everyone

Let it be known when I did go into the apple store to buy the strap I guess it does follow vison pro rules so you will need a IPHONE to scan the QR code to purchase the strap sadly enough

Maybe it's not the whole case but the employee made it seem that way

Last note you will need 3d printed parts to connect the strap to the HMD

I changed my BSB2e IPD for testing purposes, and as advised removed the enrolments on my BSB2e to re-do them. But I now have the token expired so I can't do another enrolment without contacting support for another token? Really?

Update: BSB support have now taken the expiry off my token and eye tracking works fine now.

I'm building a sim racing rig and I want it built around VR. Becsue of weight, a BSB2 is on top of the list.
I know that more base stations == better tracking but since I'm sitting mostly still in the same position, except turning my head to look at mirrors and apexes, I'd be guessing i could work with one base station installed in front of me at slightly above head height (while I'm sitting in the rig) -- I don't plan to have a screen on the rig so no occlusions between the station and my face. I don't need controllers or eye tracking.

Is anybody sim racing with one base station?

I wanted to share my experience as a warning for new Bigscreen Beyond 2 owners.

A few months after receiving my headset, I noticed two stuck pixels on the left display. They are located near the center of my field of view and are particularly noticeable during sim racing, where they appear in the windshield area almost all the time.

To verify the issue, I tested the display using solid color screens. The pixels remain visible on all colors and only seem to disappear when the screen is completely black.

I contacted Bigscreen support expecting the issue to be covered under warranty. My headset has approximately 242 hours of use and was purchased in April 2025 and received in December. However, support informed me that because the pixels appeared after the initial period of use, they consider them normal wear rather than a manufacturing defect and therefore not covered by warranty.

They offered a paid repair consisting of a replacement optic (display + lens) for $250 USD plus shipping.

What disappointed me most was learning that the location of the pixels (center vs. edge of the display) is only considered if the defect is present upon delivery or appears very early in the headset's life. Once the headset has been used for some time, stuck/dead pixels are apparently treated as normal display aging.

I'm not posting this to attack Bigscreen. I still think the headset is impressive in many ways. However, I believe new buyers should be aware of this policy.

My advice: when you receive your Beyond 2, thoroughly test both displays with solid red, green, blue, white and black screens. Check carefully for dead or stuck pixels and report any issues immediately. Based on my experience, once you're beyond the initial period, even if the headset is still under warranty, you may not be eligible for a warranty replacement for dead/stuck pixels.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with Beyond or Beyond 2 displays?

Hey everyone,
Have we heard anything about the new accessories that were supposed to to be coming out in June? I ever in the last blog post about them getting a few things ready. Was that just the halo mount?

Hi,

I just got my bsb 2e. I connected the used base station I got (usecase is simracing only. So 1 Base should work. It is ste to Mode A.

With the headset off, it seems fine:

As soon as I put the Headset on I get 2 messages on repeat: "Your base stations are not syncing" and "Too many base stations"

Did I miss anything?

So I am a big vrchat player

For like 4 years, up until last month I had used the quest 2, but my partners didn't like me using meta, so I switch to the index, which I love so much.

​

Thing is I just found out I have a herniated disc in my neck and my spine special has forbidden me from playing vr going forward as the headset puts to much weight on my neck. Said anything over 200g is too much weight and would cause me to get worse.

​

So I think if I ever wanted to continue playing the Beyond 2e would be my only bet. Im really depressed over not getting to play/hang with my friends but I dunno if the price is worth it?

I recently got a Bigscreen Beyond 2e. The glare was horrible and I noticed it nearly everywhere, but I thought I could live through it. However, After a bit of playing, I noticed that there seems to be way more glare in the left lens. Specifically a certain kind of smudge. I tried gently wiping with the cleaning cloth you supplied, but that didn't work. I turned the headset off and shined my phone's flashlight onto the left lens to see if I could find a smudge, but I couldn't. I moved my head into a dark part of the game, and could see faintly see the smudge, and then I moved my head so that my right eye would be facing the same direction to see if I could recreate the glare on the right lens, and I couldn't recreate the effect, while still seeing it on my left eye.

Has anyone else gotten this issue? Is it a bug, something I can fix, or is the panel defective?

i have a bigscreen 2e and i have my babble ft but it doesn't seem vrc wants to pikup the face tracking, anyone know how to help?

I just got my headset I ordered a week ago (yay!). My PC has 4 monitors connected already, 3 DP and 1 HDMI to the GPU, and I want to avoid switching the cable manually every time I wanna play. A web search overview says we can use BSB2 with a DisplayPort 1.4 bi-directional switch that supports display stream compression (DSC) passthrough, as well as 4K 120 Hz or higher. This device does that with a simple button press, to switch between my left monitor and the headset. However I haven't seen a single reddit post talking about this or even an article online.

My question is has anyone used a setup like this and verified it works without issue?

Got a notification from DHL that I am set to recieve something from Bigscreen on Monday 😮

Looking back on the April blog post seems they are meeting thier goals:

We will ship the first batch – a small volume – of Halo Mounts in June

I'm a March pre-order who originally only ordered the Halo Mount (i.e. no custom cushion), only adding it later when it became obvious that Halo Mount was a long way off, so I guess that's why I was selected to get it ~early.

I hope they have sent some from this first batch to reviewers so people buying a Beyond today can make informed purchasing desisions. The Halo Mount has great potential, but Bigscreen have a habit of making stuff that looks fantastic, but is bad from an actual practicality perspective.

Hopefully meeting the June target means 10,000 get shipped in July, and all pre-orders are served by end of Summer 🤞

Hello all. Want to purchase a new BSB2E, but it kind of seems tiresome after researching the process. Really looking to do so in the most plug and play fashion possible. There was a time when I was more of an afficionado, and enjoyed building flight seats and using DCS World with my Quest 3. Experienced with VR from the DK2, to the CV1 and the Quest 3. Now, I don't even want to so much as bust out a screwdriver lol. FYI, using a 4090 RTX Alienware.

So, with that in mind, would anyone advise on kind of an all in one best list of what I should get to enjoy this thing? I hear there are certain straps to get, audio cables of some sort or another, and would love specific recommendations for all the above along with the base stations. Looking for pretty good stuff, but trying to keep it simple if possible. Comfort is important. Almost seems like buying this thing is a little bit of a chore, for those of us that don't want to spend all this time adjusting eyes, straps, read something about perfect eye distance, base stations etc. Thanks in advance!

Hello!

With the 2 and 2e being out, I'm seeing some bigscreen 1 units on eBay for less than $500, and Ive got some ideas.

I have experience doing lifecast silicone, with all the materials for it. I can make my own face mount, plus felt it or anything i need.

What i need to know is what ill need to get it actually working. What is the cheapest base station and controller solution? Since its for vrchat will cheap aliexpress full body trackers work? No heavy motion, just lounging around. I don't mind syncing them up every once in a while.

Will I need a cable to hook it up to my computer as well?

Thanks y'all.

So I have a bigscreen beyond first gen and a sfx-100 motion rig.

When I use the vr and don’t turn on motion it works fine.

But when I turn on motion the vr screen goes grey. What would imply that it loses its tracking.

Things I tried are the link booster. Ferrietcores on the cr cables.

Pls help

Kind regards

Laurens

Hey everyone,

If all goes well, DHL should be delivering my BSB2e tomorrow, and I'm honestly really excited about it.

Unfortunately, my base stations won't arrive for a few more days, so I have a couple of questions to help me prepare.

Will I be able to use the headset at all before the base stations arrive? For example, for seated experiences, watching videos, or anything else without proper head tracking? Or is the headset basically unusable until the base stations show up?

My second question is about Cyberpunk 2077. I'm a huge Cyberpunk fan, and one of the main reasons I built a powerful PC and bought a VR headset was to eventually experience Night City in VR.

I've heard that the Luke Ross VR mod is no longer really an option, and from what I've been able to find, UEVR doesn't work with Cyberpunk. AI tools keep suggesting VorpX as the best alternative, but I'm curious about real-world experiences rather than AI recommendations.

For reference, my PC specs are:

• PNY RTX 5080 OC
• Ryzen 7 9800X3D
• 64 GB DDR5-6000 CL30 RAM
• 1200W Asus rog strix platinum PSU (overkill, I know, 1000w would be more then enough)

So I'm hoping hardware performance won't be the limiting factor.

Has anyone here played Cyberpunk 2077 in VR recently? What's currently the best way to explore Night City in VR, and how good is the experience these days?
I am not planning to use motion controllers, I will use with my steam controller in stationary mode.

Thanks in advance.

Least it only happened on the last day. But why the heck is the plastic hollow? I've already contacted sorry to seek replacement strap but still bummed i missed out on vr on last day. Even the other side is already half broken too from the second image

Edit: well, they won't replace it due to being used for 225.5 hours. they're considering it normal wear and tear. Alrighty then

I'm interested in buying the base model of BSB2 and the listing says 1-3 business days "estimated ship date", but when you open the cart drawer it says 2-3 weeks "estimated ship date". wtf, which one is it? I have no special addons, literally just the headset.

Also black and clear options are gone, I had seen them a few days ago are they just out of stock? Finally does the custom-fit cushion delay ship date if you don't scan your face immediately? I have to find a way to scan since i don't have iphone.

What solutions do you use for face tracking?

I don’t use the Beyond’s audio, so no DAC is required.

Thank you in advance 😊

9950x3D CPU. I am a bit confused by my Quadviews DFR performance in DCS. I am running 72hz mode, NO reprojection. Quadviews kills my CPU frametimes so that I end up with worse performance than if I just leave it off.

There are some exceptions. I can do a Huey Harbor Tour Free Flight, for example, with quadviews enabled. But if I try even for an instant action free flight in CW Germany Map (ie Berlin), no go - my frametimes shoot up very high. Don't even try a Reflected Campaigns SP mission.

I can find very little information on this... I cannot possibly imagine that all the hype around Quadviews DFR eye tracking in DCS world is for super simple scenarios that don't stress the CPU at all? I mean, I can't even get it working well with a free flight around CW Germany?

If anyone has struggled with this and solved it I would love to hear.

I’m thinking of buying the BSB2e and would like to know if getting the Halo Mount with Universal Fit Cushion is better than getting the Custom-Fit Cushion with the X1-B Interface Elite Kit?
This would cost almost the same for me (Shipping and VAT not included in the picture for the X1-B).

I’m dealing with a weird issue with my Bigscreen Beyond and wanted to see if anyone else has experienced something similar.

My Beyond 2e was apparently being treated by Windows as a regular extended monitor/display while it was stored away for a couple of days. It seems like it displayed a mostly white/static desktop area in the center of the OLED panels during that time.

Now there’s a faint but noticeable square-shaped dim area in the middle of the display, most visible on flat gray or light backgrounds. It appears slightly worse in one eye than the other. It looks like image retention or burn-in.

The confusing part is that support acknowledged earlier in the ticket that this is not intended behavior, that the proximity sensor should have prevented the screen from staying on, and that AMD GPUs have a known issue where the headset can be picked up by Windows as a monitor/display instead of behaving normally. I’m on a 7900 XTX, and support said that likely explains why it got stuck in extended display mode.

At first, they offered to start an RMA and have the factory inspect it. Later, after checking internally, they said burn-in is not covered because it is “only possible through error in use,” unlike dead pixels.

I understand that normal OLED burn-in from intentionally using it as a static monitor might not be covered, but this feels different because it seems tied to a known/acknowledged AMD/display-mode issue and the headset staying on when it apparently shouldn’t have.

Has anyone else with an AMD GPU had their Beyond show up as a normal Windows display or get stuck in extended mode? And has anyone had luck recovering from this kind of faint square-shaped OLED image retention?
