The success of the Vive Pro 2 really depended on one condition: that its 5K/120 Hz screens kept their promise. And this is indeed the case: never before have we seen such a fine, natural and immersive image with a consumer virtual reality headset. Otherwise, the Vive Pro 2 is, apart from a few details, a Vive Pro like any other, with its strengths and its few weaknesses.
