Beyond Comfort: What Else Do We Value?
Key Insights
Testing the ergonomics of the Bigscreen Beyond headset. Is it really the smallest PCVR headset available?
Introduction
The Bigscreen Beyond is designed to be the ultimate comfort device. Because each unit is custom-molded to the user's specific face shape based on a scan,
it promises an unprecedented fit. We tested whether this custom approach lives up to the hype.
Specifications and Design
- Display: Micro-OLED.
- Weight: Approximately 127 grams.
- Fit: Custom-molded facial interface.
- Connection: Proprietary cable.
Performance and Experience
Because it is custom-molded, the headset disappears after a few minutes of use. The OLED panels offer deep blacks and vibrant contrast, making it excellent
for immersive gaming. The trade-off for this size is that the unit is entirely fixed; it cannot be adjusted if someone else wants to try it, and the cable
connection requires careful handling.
Ergonomics and Comfort
The comfort is unmatched. There is no facial pressure, as the weight is distributed exactly across the area matched to your skin. The heat management is
decent, though the proximity to the screen means you will feel some warmth eventually.
Pros and Cons
Pros:
1. Incredible form factor and weight.
2. Superior OLED visual quality.
3. Custom fit removes all facial pressure.
Cons:
1. Not shareable due to custom face mold.
2. Proprietary cable is delicate.
3. Requires external base stations and controllers.
Conclusion
This headset is a miracle of modern VR engineering for the dedicated individual enthusiast. It provides a level of comfort that conventional headsets
simply cannot match.
