Bigscreen Beyond 2e review and specs

What eye tracking changes

Eye tracking is what makes dynamic foveated rendering possible: full detail where you're looking, less where you aren't, so the graphics card spends its effort on the gauge you're reading. Where your sim and VR runtime support it, that's headroom you feel on a busy airport.

Two facts frame the decision. Bigscreen presents the eye-tracking software as beta. And eye tracking is built in: it can't be added to a Beyond 2 later. Everything else matches: 32 PPD at peak on 2560 × 2560 pixels per eye, OLED blacks, up to 90 Hz.

What your PC and your room need

Same rules as the Beyond 2. At least one SteamVR base station, 1.0 or 2.0, is required and not included. The PC needs DisplayPort 1.4 with DSC. No VR controllers in the box, which flight sims flown with a HOTAS can do without, as Bigscreen notes.

The $1,159 is the $1,099 headset plus the $60 Universal-Fit Light Seal; with the Custom-Fit Cushion it's $1,219.

Great if you…

• want the lightest headset we list and eye tracking in it
• buy hardware once and keep it for years
• fly with physical controls and already own base stations

Skip it if…

• beta software on a premium headset bothers you
• you own no base stations
• you want controllers and inside-out tracking in the box

What Bigscreen promises

Points taken from the official manufacturer spec sheet.

• Same 2560x2560-per-eye micro-OLED displays, 90 Hz and 108° x 96° FOV as Beyond 2, plus built-in eye tracking.
• Eye tracking enables dynamic foveated rendering, eye contact and blinking in social VR (eye-tracking software in beta).
• 107 g headset for PC VR with SteamVR base-station tracking; eye tracking is built in and cannot be added later to a Beyond 2.

Better fit elsewhere?

Dream Air vs Beyond 2e is the premium duel: the Dream Air costs $1,140 more, states 53 PPD, tracks itself with cameras and ships with controllers, at under 170 g.

The Pimax Dream Air SE is only $40 more, with eye tracking, inside-out tracking and under 140 g, but no published PPD. Skip eye tracking and the Bigscreen Beyond 2 is $959.

The verdict

The Beyond 2e is the Beyond 2 to buy if you keep headsets for years: 107 g, OLED and eye tracking, $1,159 at Bigscreen on October 29, 2026.
