I already have the v920..
Which makes the vr920 kind of hard to justify. However, this monitor (and yes, it’s a monitor, you wear it on your face)(insert geordi la forge jokes here) is the newer version of the one i already have.

In many ways they’re the same device, which doesn’t help its case.
It’s cheaper! but still expensive considering.. and there’s the DV920 which looks exactly like the v920, but up in price. (wtf?)
They’re all 640×480 still.. a fact that i have never been in love with. but the V920 has performed a lot better than i’d expected, especially handling the screen at a virtual 1024×768.
the VR920 has a better field of vision. Imagine an even larger monitor that only you could see.. that’s a plus really.
And the final nail in the coffin of my hopes ambitions and dreams? I don’t use the one I have that often.. This is mostly due to inconvenient ergonomics, and as nice as it performs, 640×480 is only limitedly useful.
So alas, I will endure the crossed arms, tapping foot, and scowl of the imaginary fiancee; and avoid it from the real life one by cheerfully not mentioning it.
