Do you own a Quest 3? I disagree on a few points here.

> Beyond that, the Meta Quest 3 doesn't have the best screens, so things like watching video aren't actually very good.

Is it as good as a 4k OLED TV? Obviously no, but it is the by far the best screen watching experience I had away from a TV. So if you want to chill in bed or a travelling for work and spend a lot of times alone in hotels it is by far the best media consumption device.

Another point are immersive 3D VR videos which is a completely new dimension and let me tell you there are a few really great things to watch, which you cannot replicate on a TV.

> The reason to consider the Quest 3 is almost 100%, "do you want to play VR video games without breaking the bank?" That's it.

see above about watching stuff. Another point are social experiences like VR chat, which I would not consider games.




I do have a Quest 3.

I also have two OLED TVs, and no way I'd watch the Quest 3 over that. But I also own a 12.9-inch iPad Pro, and I'd much rather watch movies or a TV show on that. I'd also much rather watch on my desktop monitor.

The 3D videos are a nice diversion, and I do them from time to time.

I almost entirely play video games and workout apps on my Quest 3.
