Consensus: In our review, we noted that "The HTC Vive Pro 2’s hi-res screen and speedy refresh rate make it worth your time." We thought its RRP was a little high but this deal takes care of that.
Buy if: You have a top end PC and want a gorgeous high-resolution VR experience. Even compared to the Valve Index, its image quality is top notch.
Don't buy if: Your PC is a little dated or if you want a standalone, PC-free VR headset
