Yeah! Less Screen Door Effect but More Nausea!-Samsung Gear VR Launches Today For $199

Those who already own the most recent Oculus Rift developer kit will notice a few big differences when they strap on the Gear VR. Because the screen is a Galaxy Note 4  you attach to the headset, you’ve got a 1440p screen rather than 1080p. That means the so-called “screen door” effect, where you can see the pixels on your screen because they’re so close to your eyes, won’t be quite as distinct with this headset.
The new screen does come with a bit of a trade-off, however. The Galaxy Note 3 screen in Oculus’ second dev kit is set to refresh 75 times per second. The Note 4 can only handle 60, which means that you’re slightly more likely to experience some nausea as you spend time in VR.
