Google & LG’s high-res VR display is official now

Google and LG supposedly have the most high-res VR display in the world:

Google says the upper bounds of human vision exist at 9600 x 9000, 2,183 ppi, and 160 x 150-degree field of view — so it’s not too far off, which is both fascinating and terrifying. If you want to compare current VR products, the HTC Vive has a smaller 3.6-inch 1080 x 1200 display with 448 pixels-per-inch, while the improved Vive Pro’s 3.5-inch 1440 x 1600 panel only has 615 ppi. Both VR headsets only have measly 90Hz refresh rates and 110-degree fields of view.

Even though Google has shared the specifics of its prototype display, the tech giant is yet to reveal when we can expect to see it being utilized in real-life headsets.  This solution is currently most appropriate for desktop VR. Despite the announcement, Google and LG don’t have retail availability for this display since it’s still in the prototype stage, but we’ll update you once the information is available. Most modern VR headsets cannot match this prototype panel, with HTC’s Vive and Vive Pro headsets averaging at just 2MP. While the former sports a 3.6-inch 1080 x 1200p (448 ppi) display for each eye, the latter’s 3.5-inch Quad-HD (1440 x 1600p, 615 ppi) display is not too extraordinary as well.

It’s an incredibly pixel-rich, 18-megapixel OLED display at 1443 ppi, with a 120Hz refresh rate contained on a 4.3-inch screen with a 120 x 96 field of view
