Well I know that bro. BRO.. I got my start with the lower FOV train but on monitors, with the oculus you want HIGHER FOV because it is going to be perfect and calculated to the game either way. It should be 180° H and 155° V and take up our entire vision and still be scaled for 1:1 size/distance.. What is it now?

The wow effect of DK1 is lowered in DK2 because of the edges of the screen now more noticeable. The drop doesn't seem to be big in numbers, 111 to 106 or so, but it's noticeable especially looking straight, as if you were in a box or used a badly constructed diving mask.

That makes me wonder what would happen if I stuck a piece of metallic tape on the side plastic, mirroring the screen edges so that the light doesn't go abruptly black at the edges ...

There was a mod somebody installed in a DK1 that used this tech https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=KQWhYzBu5V8#t=151 to illuminate the edges with a few RGB led's. It makes sense to NOT make it just black in there. Assuming it is plastic could it just be made opaque instead of black? I have not yet gotten an oculus to freak out over.

I blew all my money last summer, and bought the first kit. Unfortunately, I can't afford to get the new one, and they don't do trade ins. :(

Now that we have DK2 support let talk getting it to run good! It works for me, but I cant seem to change the resolution above 1280 x 720, as in that's the only option. Almost as if its still stuck to DK1 resolution. Positional tracking works great though.

It uses resolution provided by Oculus SDK, so it should be 1920x1080 in DK2. Resolution set in normal config is ignored in that mode, unless you check "override resolution" in stereo settings.
