VR Headset
Here is a list of VR headsets that I think great with their main parameters:
| Product | Type | Connection | Resolution(per eye) | Refresh Rate(Hz) |
| HTC Vive | Tethered | HDMI, USB3.0 | 1280 x 1440 | 90 |
| Sony Playstation VR | Tethered | HDMI, USB2.0 | 1080 x 1200 | 120 |
| Nintendo Labo VR Kit | Mobile | — | 960 x 1080 | 60 |
| Oculus Quest | Standalone | — | 1440 x 1600 | 72 |
Among these VR headsets, personally I like HTC Vive most.
HTC Vive can provide the best immersive experiences with their eerily accurate room-tracking technology and smooth graphics. [1] Although it is tethered, which makes it less flexible when comparing to other types of VR equipments, I still think that the sense of immersions should be the most important thing when evaluating VR equipments. In my opinion, the biggest selling point of VR technology itself is exactly the immersive experiences provided. That’s why consumers would like to bother buying a VR headset instead of simply sitting in front of their own PC or a mobile phone.
Besides the delivery of a variety of thrills and chills via its room-tracking technology and touch-enabled controllers, HTC Vive can sit comfortably on user’s face, adding padding and softness to the headset and allowing user to wear it for longer. Valve’s experience with Steam and the wealth of options and social features within is another reason that I would like to recommend HTC Vive.

MR Headset
Here is a list of MR headsets that I think great with their main parameters:
| Product | Max Field of View | Resolution | Screen Type | Pixel Density(ppi) | Price |
| Samsung HMD Odyssey Mixed Reality | 110° | 2880 x 1600 | Amoled | 615 | $499 |
| Acer Windows Mixed Reality | 100° | 2880 x 1440 | LCD | 706 | $285.99 |
| Lenovo Explorer | 110° | 2880 x 1440 | LCD | unknown | $265 |
Among these MR headsets, I like Samsung HMD Odyssey Mixed Reality most (not only because it’s the most expensive one).
From the chart above, we can easily see that HMD Odyssey has the largest max field of view and resolution, and its screen type is Amoled instead of LCD. Additionally, Samsung has cut down on screen-door effect (SDE) with new technology that doubles the 616 pixels-per-inch (PPI) provided by the native resolution.
HMD Odyssey has been tweaked with a wider nose guard and eye box, and making it easier to wear for anyone with prescription frames.[2] This is also why I would like to suggest HMD Odyssey most among those MR devices in the market.
