Help Buy the VITURE Beast now or wait for the rumored 2560×1600 glasses later this year?
I was pretty much ready to buy the VITURE Beast + Mobile Dock Mini, but then I found out about the comments from VITURE’s Optical Lead about upcoming glasses supposedly releasing later in 2026 with 2560×1600 per eye and other display improvements.
Now I’m stuck between just getting the Beast or waiting.
My main use case is NOT really AR/hand tracking/6DoF. I basically want really good display glasses:
- Watching Netflix/YouTube and downloaded movies from my iPhone, especially in bed and on flights
- Using them as a display with my MacBook
- Gaming on a Switch with the Mobile Dock Mini
The Beast seems almost perfect for this because of the 58° FOV, 1920×1200, 120Hz, brightness and native 3DoF. My main concerns are the edge blur/chromatic aberration people have reported and whether 1200p is sharp enough for Mac use.
The thing making me hesitate is that 2560×1600 would be a pretty huge resolution increase, and if the next glasses also improve the optics/edge clarity, I’d probably regret buying the Beast a few months before they release.
On the other hand, there’s no actual product announcement, price or firm release date yet, and I’d rather not wait months for something that could get delayed into 2027.
For people who actually own the Beast: would you buy it today, or would you wait at this point?
Also, how noticeable are the blurry edges/chromatic aberration in real use, particularly for Mac text? If the next model only improved resolution but kept roughly the same optics, would 1600p actually make a major difference?
I’d be buying directly from VITURE so I should have the 30-day return window. Curious what current owners would do in my position.
