Another follow up: my brother recently purchased a JVC DLA-NZ900 Laser 8K Projector and so I was able to watch 3D movies on a $25K high-lumen projector. Although it was a much better 3D experience over my own JVC NX-5 due to the full brightness, I can say without any doubt that watching a 3D movie on a Quest 3 is still a hands-down visually better experience. There is zero ghosting, as good or better brightness than a $25K laser projector, resolution is every bit as good if not better due to upscaling, and it plays in whatever refresh rate you have your headset at, whereas a projector can only play at 24hz (which makes a noticeable difference). Not to mention, using Virtual Desktop Streamer you can make your virtual screen any size you want, at any distance you want – even as big as a 50 ft wide movie theater screen. Spending $500 to get a better 3D movie experience than a $25K projector is not a bad deal at all.

After having half a year to play with both connections, I find myself more often than not using Virtual Desktop Streamer. Mainly because Steam Link regularly won’t connect to my PC. I need to get into VDS (which always connects first try), start up SteamVR first, then Steam Link will work. If I’m already in VDS I’m not going to take the few extra seconds to exit out and then reconnect using Steam Link.

I can confirm – utilizing Steam Link and Virtual Desktop connected to the same PC, it is now possible to watch a movie in 3D with a friend using two VR headsets instead of 3D glasses. This is how 3D movies were meant to look!

Very interesting! I’ll try again.

good point!

That’s very cool!
