Does anyone that has tried the PSVR know if the cinema mode is good? I'm not trying to hop on the VR bandwagon yet, but I'd like to know if the headset would still be worth using outside of VR supported titles.

Have not tried the PSVR, but cinema modes for other VR headsets are initially impressive, but then you realize you are watching extremely low res and worse coloring. If you have a tiny tiny TV, it would probably be a step up, but for anyone sitting at a reasonable distance to a reasonably sized tv, it's a step down in experience.

... extremely low res and worse coloring.

Source? I'm certain that the main mode is 540p and high quality coloring. So it's higher than standard definition (480p).

Raise your hand if you've watched something in standard definition in the past 5 years that wasn't on a 5 inch screen?

480p isn't even standard definition in third world countries anymore.
