or an HP reverb G2, or HTC vive or one of dozens of other non meta vr sets...

that said a cheap quest 2 second hand with virtual desktop makes for probably the best wireless experience / dollar you can have

To add to that: Even though the Pico brand is now owned by Bytedance (TikTok) I really enjoy their Pico Neo 3 (it's a hardware equivalent to the Quest 2, actually due to active cooling it has a bit more performance headroom).

The wireless streaming works great. There is no account setup whatsoever. Null, nada, nichts. You can just boot up the HMD and you're good to go.

I find it strange when people hail them as a more privacy-friendly alternative to Meta though.

Personally I think ByteDance (and TikTok in particular) is an even worse company than Facebook ever was. It's like they learned from Facebook and made it worse.
