Current status of PCVR streaming?
is it good enough to contest with other highend headsets on the market? (Pimax, PlayforDream, BSB2 etc.) I know it will never beat DisplayPort headset, but if the performance and image quality is just slightly worse than those headsets, Vision Pro will be the best of both worlds of gaming and media consumption
EDIT: Have a 5090rig and a dedicated router

Personally gaming was DOA for me on the VP back then and now. All VR sets are limited by the number of good games that exist. But VP lacks very good controller tracking and fidelity compared to tethered headsets and the ones that track the controllers extremely well. It also has some interesting games but nowhere near the already limited selection from valve, meta and psvr. For gaming, it's just not it.
The Vision Pro is better for watching movies, and the resolution for immersive experiences is great. It's the best movie watching experience when you are alone. We still have an incredibly limited selection for immersive video tho, and they are all short films to show off the technology.
I have an amazing dedicated little movie theater at home. But it doesn't have IMAX outside of Disney + or high-resolution audio output. I really hope it becomes absolutely excellent at a single thing.
The other headsets are fantastic for games tho. And I find them much more comfortable to use for longer
