Heed my mistakes, and you'll do fine.
7 of 7 found this helpful I hate giving star ratings. Either I recommend something, or I don't. So, do I recommend the Samsung Odyssey Plus? In a word: Yes. But it comes with some potential bumps.
I get the device, and set up took far longer than advertised. That's my own failing. Be smart, and trust the software. Once I did that, I stopped having problems with it on that side. Once ready, I put the headset on, and it's what I've been waiting for. The resolution is high enough, and the anti-Screen Door Effect technology they're using works. This product will last me until VR tech really hits its strides in the next 3 years. It's pretty comfortable, but I don't really have enough experience with VR to compare it one way or another to the competition.
The controller tracking was much better than I originally thought. It tracks as well as the Rift Touch or Vive Wands, without the expensive cameras/basestations. Be a little patient with them if your controller is pulled back under your chin, or out of sight of the Headset's cameras. I'll upgrade them one day, but for now, they work fine enough.
Now the bumps in the road I mentioned. I put on my headset, and I'm greeted to a great display, and horrendous electrical screams. This is because the provided cable is too short. It's the USB extender that caused the noise. I spent the next week trying to solve the issue with different USB extension cables, a USB power hub, even a second instance of this product. Same issue. What I needed was a USB repeating cable. Yes. It's worth the $25 and extra 6' you don't need. If you have the problem I'm describing, get that cable. Don't hesitate. I also spent that 7 days with ear damage, brought on by that screaming. I had the volume set to 20%, and then 5%, and it still hurt my ear. I got better, but I didn't think I needed to suffer that much for a f****** $500 product.
Conclusion: I recommend this device for anyone who wants a "Good enough" VR headset that you don't need two 2080TIs SLIed to power. My higher-end setup is good enough to get some decent super sampling out of the games I've played, and that makes the already great looking display even better! So avoid my pitfalls. You'll do fine.
Also, I bought it here, because I wanted the warranty Ebay and Amazon offers. I could've gotten it $200 cheaper, but I would've had to pay $20 monthly to have the same accident protection. It's VR people. You're going to smash your controller into something eventually. Get a flipping warranty.
