The AMOLED predecessor obviously had a big advantage here. The black value of 0.5 cd/m² is pretty high in our measurements (with a distance of a few cm) and only results in a contrast ratio of 211:1. We unfortunately did not find an option to adjust it manually for our measurements, but the 110 cd/m² we recorded are sufficient in the dark headset. The brightness is automatically adjusted via brightness sensor and PWM control. Other headsets like the HP Reverb G2 are supposed to have a wider sweet spot. However, this also depends on the user only the central area was really sharp for our test author. They offer a wide field of view of up to 120 degrees, but the image is much blurrier towards the edges. The blurriness and the distortions are a result of the lenses. Both screens have 2448 x 2448 pixels, which is sufficient to create a perfect image without screen-door effect. HTC now uses IPS panels with very high resolutions.

The displays are the biggest change compared to the Vive Pro 1. This is supposed to improve with some training and 3D shooters still make a lot of fun in VR. The movements via touchpad and without 'beaming' like in Half Life resulted in severe nausea after 15-30 minutes. Titles like Pavlov VR or Onward do not look very good and also require a good stomach. Half Life: Alyx, Beat Saber, Elite: Dangerous, No Man's Sky, Pistol Whip, and Super Hot VR were the most convincing titles and are basically must-have games. There is still a very limited number of blockbuster games. The stereo cameras at the front can be used to show the environment if you get to the limits of your predefined room - very handy.

Once you have set-up everything, the SteamVR dashboard is a good place to start Steam games or switch between titles. There were no problems during gaming and the setup was pretty easy as well, but there is still plenty of room for improvements. There are also some bugs and we occasionally had to restart the system and even encountered some blue screens (when activating and deactivating the headset). The combination of the two tools is very confusing at first since settings and calibration is distributed across the two systems. HTC uses a mixture of its own tools and Valve's SteamVR in terms of software. The more compact Steam Index Controller (only available directly via Steam) are therefore a better alternative for some games. You should still recharge them every couple of days via micro-USB port. The battery runtime is not great with the 960 mAh battery, but it is sufficient for very long sessions. The stick design is ideal for games like Beat Saber and the weight of the controllers enhances the fitness aspect of the game. They offer good hardware, but they are very bulky and they are annoying during gaming when you reload your virtual weapon in Pavlov VR or Onward, for example. HTC still uses their old Vive controllers. This costs quite a lot of money and it takes time to calibrate, but it convinces with very precise and gapless tracking. HTC uses SteamVR Lighthouse hardware for tracking. You can also get the optional VIVE Wireless Adapter for wireless connection, but it currently limits the resolution (full resolution is supposed to be supported later) and the refresh rate to 90 Hz. The cable management is good and it does not really affect the handling.

The design did not change a lot compared to the first generation only the front is now in a subtle black.

The Vive Pro 2 works well for customers in professional environments. The durability should still be good, because Schenker Technologies, where we purchased the headset, does not report a high failure rate.

The plastic in use here does not leave the highest quality impression and there are also noticeable creaking sounds when we twist the headset. According to HTC, the Vive Pro 2 is designed for professional use, so this has to be considered when you choose the materials and the build quality.
