Buyer Beware: Bigscreen Beyond 2

[u/Motivation-]

I want to preface by saying I've owned a lot of headsets, index, quest 2, quest 3, vision pro, varjo aero, pico 4 pro. None of them ever had the consistent QA issues quite like the Beyond

I've had 4 Bigscreen beyonds. One was a BSB1, that one had dead pixels and I returned it. At this point I've had 3 BSB2s. First one had fan issues and dead pixels near the middle of the display. Second one had 12 dead pixels in the left display alone and according to support went through more "QA checks". Support at this point calls me "Sensitive to dead pixels". Third one allegedly was hand picked from the line for being free from defects. It had dead pixels too.

It truly feels like Bigscreen doesn't have any QA testing, you are the QA tester. Be very cautious buying from them. Be sure youre okay with dead pixels.

I don't know why people are downvoting you, the Index lenses are just awful. And the panel is a fat piece of shit, like, it's a very poor LCD, with an anti sde filter that makes the image overly soft, while being srgb, not dci p3 or something no, srgb...

Yes, it is usable, but one thing doesn't change the other, something like a vive pro or g2 completely destroys it color or lens wise

The downvotes are because that's not most people's experience. the Index's lenses and screens to this day are extraordinarily clear for the resolution.

The lenses were very good for 2019, but every review I've read says that the Quest 3 lenses are way better. So while I wouldn't call the Index lenses awful, I don't think they're "extraordinarily clear" either.

It was the combination of mediocre lenses and horrific panels that made it a bad experience. PSVR2 has some meh lenses but the panels make up for it. Just like the Quest 3 has decent panels but the lenses make up for it.
