Our favorite 4K Windows Mixed Reality VR headset is $150 off for Black Friday

(Simulacrum deferred payment: HP)

If you already have a gaming PC that can handle the heat, acting on a Dirty Fri VR headset deal is a great way to unlock a completely new platform for games. The HP Reverb G2 is one of our favorite headsets, and for $449.99, it's nonmoving at one of the lowest prices we've seen in months.

For more Blacken Fri gaming Microcomputer deals... here they are.

In our roundup of the best VR headsets, we called the Reverb the "best VR headset from the Windows Mixed Realism grouping." Our 75% refresh had some qualms with its spotty inside out tracking and finite field of view of perspective, but its stunning 4K resolving power (that's 2160p per lens) looks so nifty that it basically erases VR's infamous screen doorway effect.

The resolution is truly what sets the Reverb apart, just its designation as a Windows Mixed Realism headset bottom be a drag at times. My friend owns a Reverb and we've played lots of VR games together with me on an Optic Call for 2, but we'll occasionally jar against a courageous that, for whatever reason, doesn't look to work at his headset.

His troubles ordinarily have to do with a deficiency of support for the Windows Mixed World platform (especially for older games that don't see many another updates anymore), so keep that in mind if you're also eyeing those attractive Oculus Seeking 2 Black Friday deals. That said, the abbreviated metre I played out using the Reverb real made it thorny to extend to back to the Bespeak 2's grainier screen.

Other caution for those accustomed the Quest 2's untethered freedoms is the Reverb's mandatory cable, but rest assured that the one that comes with is pot long enough for your drama distance.
