Bigscreen Beyond 2 Verdict

Bigscreen Beyond 2 is the boutique PC VR pick for people who care most about weight and OLED contrast. It is not a plug-and-play mainstream headset, but it is one of the most appealing high-end SteamVR upgrades.

Extremely light headset body

Micro-OLED contrast and sharpness

Modern compact PC VR design

Requires a VR-ready PC and Lighthouse tracking

Audio and strap choices can add cost
