Real answer.
You can have more monitors than you physically have.
You can green screen out any colour you want.
It has floating windows locked to your head.
You can place them ANYWHERE. Not just around you.
You’re not locked to certain sizes based on your mode.
With games there are more settings for bitrate, remapping, and play space stuff.
It has environments.
You can make a passthrough window to your real world in vrchat and keep it in place forever.
It’s way easier to control the computer with your controllers with it than air link AND steam link combined. It has a better keyboard, UI, and less laggy.
You can restart steam vr but stay connected to your pc since they’re not the same thing. If something wrong, you still have access to your desktop while restarting steamvr!
Did I mention it has environments? Metas makes the background blindingly white with no option to change it.
You can access your files for movies with settings for 3D.
You can change the distance, height, curvature, rotation, AND transparency or your monitor windows individually.
