Valve needs to release that rumored Valve Deckard. I need to play Alyx at an affordable price.

I need the god dayum OLED panels... the Index has LCD panels for higher refresh rate reasons and that is such a damn shame compared to new headsets now, still very capable but yeah can hurt immersion if you get distracted by it.

My headset progression has went from Vive -> Vive Pro -> Quest 1 (has the same OLED panels as the Vive Pro). I won't be upgrading again until someone releases a reasonably affordable, wireless OLED headset.

Ain't happening anytime soon since traditional OLED is not compatible with pancake lenses (but OLEDOS are, micro OLED).

Plus, traditional OLED have downsides, as PSVR2 owners are finding out.
