The verdict
A solid virtual-monitor app for wired PC VR headsets: big private screens, 3D/360 video and nice environments. Skip it if you want wireless on a Quest or Pico, or the standalone version's newer features.
Great for
Wired PC VR owners who want a giant private screen for movies, 3D/SBS video, 2D games or work
Main risk
Buying it expecting the wireless Quest/Pico app, which is a separate purchase on the headset store
