Maybe in 5 years it’ll be great but I found the Quest 2 to be very blurry and “streaky” compared to a decent monitor. It also still gives me nausea if I play a game for a few hours which I like to do

When is the last time you tried an extended session? It is now possible to do 120Hz on the quest for some games and on PCVR. Earlier versions were limited to 72Hz. There have been other improvements too. Maybe update your headset, tweak some settings, find games that will work at 120Hz and give it another go.

Also, the Quest 2 is kind of old now, newer headsets are vastly superior with regards to blur and streaks.

I find the Quest Pro lenses and screen to be a significant improvement over Quest 2 in terms of clarity. You’ll find many other people saying the same thing. So your 5-year timeline seems off to me.

The quest pro costs as much as a gaming pc. So I guess I’ll have to wait. Also disappointing they didn’t increase the resolution. I’m not looking to pay 5x for marginally better lenses

Yes the value to cost isn’t there if you’re not very invested in XR. But I wouldn’t discount the local display dimming, eye tracking (for foveated rendering), faster GPU / CPU clocking, and 10% PPD increase which all contribute to better visual quality.
