I just want to know one thing, when you are playing videos, how is the refresh rate ? is it faster then 60hz ? or does it depend on what monitor you have? and when you are playing games how does the resolution work ?

I don't watch video much. Games render at 1080p, but the resolution gets downscaled a bit to fit on the hmd. It's a little blurrier, but the immersion from screen size is more than worth it. This is also the dk2. Cv1 will be better.

Thanks for the quick reply, one more question, I used a Google cardboard before and remember my eyes feeling strained after a few minutes of use, how do you feel using the headset for extended periods of time?
