The Dark Grey is not even close to black making EVERY SCENE look "MILKY", (DO NOT BUY QUEST 2) not as good as original quest

I emailed VR Cover today and they said ‘The thinner Standard foam is designed to bring you closer to the lens for a wider FOV. But the actual FOV experienced among users will ultimately be determined by one’s face shape and size so it is a bit tricky to give you an estimate’
I will be pre-ordering their interface once available.

FOV and comfort are everything to me. The LCD is also a downgrade from the OLED. In real life dark values are dark, so having all of the dark values lifted via the LCD also reduces the feeling of immersion imo.
The FOV being more narrow wouldn't be so terrible if it weren't for the very noticeable horizontal black lines, which completely take me out of the experience. I'm glad I'm not the only one with an IPD greater than 67. I keep trying it on the medium setting but it makes the text unreadable and my eyes strain a lot. If I want unreadable text I can stick to my original Quest 😉
I'm kinda in shock that Oculus allowed this product into the wild. It should never have been released. Narrow FOV means you have to look around more to see, and looking around all over the place makes you more nauseated. Especially for casual VR people. I feel like this unit could actually turn a lot of people off to VR which could be really bad for the industry.
There simply is nothing else like the Quest to purchase as an alternative. So really my only choice now is to wait for the Quest 3, or just give up on VR for a while since the original Quest will probably get bricked in the next year or two.
