Varjo XR-4 Verdict
Varjo XR-4 is a professional XR system, not a mainstream buyer pick. It belongs in the ranking because serious simulation and enterprise shoppers compare it, but most consumers should ignore it.
Exceptional resolution and pixel density
Professional mixed-reality passthrough
200 Hz eye tracking
Not a consumer gaming headset
Very expensive once configured
VIVE Pro 2 Verdict
VIVE Pro 2 remains relevant for Lighthouse users who want a high-resolution PC VR headset, but most new buyers should compare newer PC VR options before committing to the full kit.
High-resolution PC VR panels
SteamVR Lighthouse tracking
Works with Vive and Index tracking ecosystems
Fresnel lens glare and sweet spot are dated
Requires base stations and a gaming PC
