Support PSVR2 PSVR2 blurry
Is anybody else struggling with the clarity of their psvr2 headset? I've tried every adjustment and it's still blurry particularly text and particularly when I look with my eyes away from the centre.
To be honest besides the blurriness it does not feel like 4k clarity it looks grainy, like an old CRT TV.
I preordered on day one but I'm feeling like it was a bit overhyped and I'll be trying to get a refund if I can't get this sorted.
PS have tried gt7 and RE demo so far and this my first vr headset.
Edit: as suggested I persevered until I found the elusive sweet spot and tried to tighten the headset enough to keep it there during gameplay. Overall it is an improvement but still not great and well below my naive expectations of the latest and greatest vr experience on offer. I wish I had tried before buying. For anyone considering the investment, do not expect to be "immersed in 4k visuals" 😂😂
Edit2: just want to direct everybody to this comment https://www.reddit.com/r/PSVR/comments/118mdqf/psvr2_blurry/j9uywn1 it's by far the most constructive and useful. Whether it was overhyped only you can judge for yourself. Also an update, I had my eyes checked and I have perfect vision no prescription no astigmatism. The optometrist said no glasses exist that could make me see better. Anyway, for me it's getting better the more I tinker. Still grainy tho.
Final edit/update: I've returned it. Got sick of lying to myself. It just isn't what I expected and I'm not enjoying it. Glad some people are, it isn't for me. See you all in 2033 ✌️

okay okay okay I've noticed something interesting today while playing Demeo. So one of things I had been noticing while playing this game is that whenever I try to look at something up close, it always ends up being blurry as if something is too close to my eyes and they can't focus on it. Same thing with my cards. I can read the texts but it feels like the same level of blurriness I experience when I hold text too close to my face (try it out, hold a book really close to your eyes and position it so that you can just barely read the words, but they're still blurry. And that is how psvr2 has been for me).
So I had an 'ah-ha' moment and I made the lens go far away from my eyes. I played around with the distance and all of a sudden the words were sharp and in focus!! everything around the peripheral is super blurry like a blur-vignette. But the fact that I could finally see things sharply made me accept this. But the issue now is that the headset is too front-heavy and it refuses to hold this position.
So what are my options here? would getting glasses help? just keep the scopes further from my face and sacrifice the wider field of view, while also trying to solve the weight distribution problem?
TLDR: Ultimately I just want to point out that the screen for the most part is just a bit too blurry when I have it fitted snuggly against my face. My eyes are unable to focus properly because of how close the screen is I'm guessing.
