You won't know the lights are on in the HP Reverb because the nose thing totally blocks the outside light out. Anyways, if I do get it then it can easily go back if it's crap.

@RuneSR2 - The problem with adding a load of Super Sampling is that it's a resource hog. Having a higher resolution would be less of a resource hog then 200% ss, so you might just as well have a better resolution headset. I saw that someone was playing No Mans Sky using a HP Reverb and they were getting good fps.
It's indeed a ressource hog - I'm at Index ss 100% using NMS, maybe I can go higher, but Shadowmask72 seems to max out at ss 150% using a 2080 Ti, and the jaggies not ss are my main problem in NMS. I don't like the WMR controllers, and I love the giant fov on the Index - I can't go back to the scuba gear, so I don't consider Reverb a true contender to Index. I also like the awesome super-crisp 3D-like sound on the Index - and tracking is the most perfect I've ever tried.
If you're happy with the CV1 fov and don't need the WMR controllers, I think Reverb may be an awesome choice. Also 120 Hz is so much better than 90 Hz, but I need a faster gpu for 120 Hz - I consider the option of 120+ Hz important, it's another level of presence.
I don't mind Fov size the main things I don't like are glare, godrays and screen door. Once I pay off the HP Reverb, I plan on trying to hook up the HP Reverb to some light houses, but only if a better headset hasn't come out by then. Need the fricken HP Reverb to come out before all that though 😄
I also like to play in the dark, lol - having lights on for the tracking never was something I liked. Index does have some glare, but I don't notice it - my biggest problem is the lack of deep blacks, but neither Reverb nor Rift-S can fix that.

Maybe it's the equivalent of discussing if Lamborghini is better than Ferrari, lol. I'm into all sort of games, so controllers and tracking are really important to me. Also - and I know it's like some sort of gambling - I'm counting on Valve to deliver some truly spectacular VR content later this year. To me Index isn't all about what it's now, but what it may soon become, we'll see.

Just got the HP Reverb and have to say I'm blown away and there's no way this VR Headset is going back. They have fixed the flickering and blank displays at times and playing No Mans Sky at 180% SS in Steam VR looks as sharp as playing it on a 2D monitor. No way can I go lower resolution again now after seeing this.I thought the controllers would be terrible and while there certainly not as good as Oculus Controllers they are still very workable and I have no problems with them. I certainly wasn't expecting the resolution to look this good. I'm really lost for words how good it looks.

@Techy111 - I paid £564.86 because I got a 5% discount which HP does. That Sebastian guy that does YouTube videos did a video to say that HP had connected him about the HP Reverb and that it would be available all over Europe in the middle of Sept, so you shouldn't have long to wait. Maybe I got mine earlier because I complained.@RuneSR2- I'll be honest with any questions asked. The Fov is more square and not large like the Vavle index, but Fov has never bothered me, so I wasn't paying that much attention to it. I did notice I can see the bottom of the display, but I was that in awe of the resolution it didn't bother me. I don't see it as a distraction when playing games because the resolution is so good.I'll have another look at the Fov when I get home because I can't really compare it with CV1 yet. I think it might be slightly bigger then Rift S or the same though.
