How To FIX YOUR BLURRY PSVR2 Image 

Five minutes after I received my headset I was complaining of how blurry it was probably because I’m used to the first generation headset but after watching your video I ran downstairs tried it out again, but I seated the band a lot lower and it work perfect man you are a lifeSaver

Great video! Just want to clarify for any new VR users... "extremely sharp" is very subjective. To someone well-versed in VR, extremely sharp means something much different than someone who has only gamed on 4K TVs. The TV is always gonna look better because it's so far away that you can't see pixels. In VR, the screens are super close to your eyes, so extremely sharp won't be crystal clear. However, it should still look amazing. It just takes time to find the sweet spot (It's my third day having it and every day it looks better because I'm getting better at finding the sweet spot + I'm getting used to playing VR again)

Here's a tip that helps finding the sweet spot, use the pass through mode and look at the text, if it's blurry on top move the headset up, if it's blurry on the bottom, move the headset down.

The importance of the eye tracking calibration being done properly cannot be overstated. Also for some reason it does "decalibrate" itself sometimes. I was confused because last night Horizon looked perfect, and now it seemed blurry. Then tried recalibrating again (even though technically the calibration _should_ be correct) and everything went to 4K glory.

The best video I have seen on RU-vid to help people who have blurriness. I spent some time during setup and have had no issues. I am blown away! Thank you Bryan for being the best resource out there for everything PSVR

Fortunately I’ve had no issues with visuals, absolutely loving my purchase, after not picking up my OG PSVR in over a year, PSVR 2 has renewed my love for VR, I can’t wait to find out what this new generation of hardware will bring us, we’re already off to a flying start!

Hey! Thank you! You and the community did an excellent job.

Great tips Bryan!! I hope this helps people 🙏🏻

Excellent video, Bryan! I hadn’t considered adjusting the brightness and that’s probably a good plan regardless.

The extra time taken to find the sweet spot is one of the few negatives I have found for PSVR2. But once you get it it looks amazing, and it gets quicker once you know what you're doing.

Great video! It took me a hot minute to figure out the perfect spot. I heard you could artificially increase the fov by moving the lenses closer but that’s not the case with the PSVR2. Makes it worse. And I did notice the text tip you said. That’s a great one to help find the sweet spot!

This is the best video I've seen for a while, thank you A LOT man

I took me also a Day to get the sweet Spot. At first in GT7 i really could not See the Text clearly. I was dissapointed and thought to myself it can't be that blurry. I took my time did all the settings again and changed the postion how to weart the Headset and boy this was the game changer. I played GT7 and Horizon and Kayak VR and IT looks amazing. I love it. The more i play the better it gets. Thank you for your Video. Did not know that you can get into that Meu with doubletap on the PS Button

Awesome vid. It did take me a few sessions to get used to adjusting the sweet spot. It's just different from the PSVR1's. Once you get it, it's just incredible.

Just tried turning down the brightness and for Horizon it makes a huge difference! Great tip Bryan!

Thanks for the video, I've been struggling with finding the very specific spot that isn't blurry!

Excellent Tutorial and guidance. People might misunderstand the wording - Crystal Clear, it is a gorgeous display but people need to know there is a softness to the visuals. I have been tempted to create a visual a timeline of visual perception. That is on one side of the scale you might have a image of you looking underwater (blurry) all the way up to a 4K Oled tv (Sharp), holding your phone a little too close to you face where it starts to blur might be closer to what we see in PSVR2. Besides all this as a new VR user, I highly recommend it. Looking at some of the content here on this video you get a sense of the softness of the display. Keep up the great content.

Ran through your troubleshooting advice and boy did it ever help. I'm completely enamored with performance of this thing. The PSVR2 is where it's at.

The brightness adjustment was a game changer, I really thought it looked fantastic before but tweaking the brightness made it super clear

Thanks like always👏👏👏👏 great info…your 100% right with the EYE TRACKING & ADJUSTING suggestions bigtime,….that was main reason why I was getting blurry issues & also the CLEAN YOUR LENSES part of the video aswell, as I was sweating profusely while playing Resident Evil Village VR & because the lenses never FOG UP like the VR1 did back in the day, I didn’t realize I had sweat build up in the lens, so I wipe them off with dry microfiber cloth’s constantly, before, during & after gameplay…then I store the VR unit in the Sony box, away from all outside elements (like dust particles in the air etc.) when I start gaming. These tips are huge along with all your other points that I wasn’t aware of & I will utilize those in future blurry endeavors shall they arise….thank you so much, all these games are so much better visuals now🤘🤘🤘🤘 breathtaking🤘😲🤘

I think the problem was that most VR newbies, like me, thought the games would look like the 2d content that is being played out on the TV. But now I know that's not the case, and that's ok with me

Thanks Bryan . Lot of good tips in there .

Excellent video Bryan, with plenty of great tips for those having issues. 🙌💙

Great advice 👍 just purchased my vr2 few days ago I'm a first time user it's am awesome system to have indeed and yes for me it takes time to get everything working smoothly but I have no complaints at all i wear eyeglasses and have found myself adjusting the headset more than I like .

Thanks pal, pretty spot on and helpful video !!!

Took me a day to get used to the putting on setup.. Now I have it perfect.. Playing Rez ,I am utterly blown away by the oled screens and hdr colours..

Take a few minutes to perfectly calibrate. Especially the tilt of the headset, so back band is snug on back of the skull and eye proximity is perfect and level for your IPD and tracking. When you find the clear visual sweet spot for yourself, text will be sharp for example. After that, you'll always find it again and it will feel routine to calibrate it dead on and stay comfortable for hours. Enjoy 💢💢

The band on the old headset sits much higher on the back of my head. So when I was using the new headset in the same way it hurt my nose, forehead and felt tight. It was also hard to find the sweet spot. Positioning the band lower down on the back of my head made a massive difference. Way more comfortable and alot easier to find the sweet spot.

Bryan, please do a review video of the PSVR2. All this time, I've been waiting for your opinion on everything, because you are the only source I really trust in this area.

The more i use it the better i think the image quality is. You adapt and you learn how to put on and wearing the headset. Remeber that reprojection also can cause blurriness when moving. I think that can be different between games also.

I'll join the family again soon when classes are over ❤️ So glad its finally here

Super comprehensive guide ty

Great video Bryan!

awesome vid, gonna go theough all settings tomorrow too get max sharpness, although it's already sooooo gooodd 😊

Lowering brightness really helped me. I do hate how it takes me a bit to find the sweet spot, but it seems to be getting shorter.

Nice tips! I’d also watch out for dynamic res in addition to lod. Some games will lower resolution when a lot is on screen, I think I saw this in Star Wars totg. Turning towards a wall or smaller area might make it bump back up to full res so you can see if it is the game. Might be good to use a game without dynamic res if you’re trying to figure out the headset at first, if we can get a running list of those games. Also, some games run at lower fps which can look blurry in motion.

Thanks for this video, Bryan! Lowering the brightness definitely helped with Horizon and you're right, in general the headset sits differently that the first one. The headband on the back needs to go way lower than in the PSVR and this will also reduce the "heavy forehead" effect that some people were complaining about. Happy gaming everyone! 🎉

I wish I seen this sooner but I figured it out the second day I had it I’m a vr vet lol and I never get any repercussions when playing long periods but on day one I couldn’t play longer than 2 hours because I had really really bad eye strain and a pounding headache and come to find out on day 2 I messed with it a little and the headset wasn’t in the sweet spot for me even though my eyes were in the blue rings during the ipd test and my eye tracking was set right. So I figured out for me personally having the back ring tight to the almost middle of the back of my head was a lot better because the bottom of my neck is more sensitive to pressure headaches and it also helped the headset be parallel with my eye instead of at an angle because bringing it all the way down my neck made the screen/lenses almost stick out at a angle ( like this “/“ to my face instead of “l” to my face) which had warped the image and moved the sweet spot of the lenses causing bad eye strain and a headache and many times a not very sharp image in horizon and almost making me feel cross eyed when I’d look at things to far or to close but anyway sorry for the paragraph just was on my mind cause I was really worried on day one when that happened but after I figured that out horizon is wayyy more fun and such a damn beautiful game I can’t wait to get home and play for another 5 hours!!! Thanks as always for what you do Bryan you’re a huge help to me and my vr friends🫶😅

Thanks for this, it helped a lot! :D

It’s a huge improvement over the VR1 which I got on day one. Which was still very good back in the day. I got the VR2 on pre order day. The issue I am having is with how uncomfortable it is on my forehead. The VR1 was fine. I have bought a head band from Amazon that I wear 😂, I’m no Boris Becker. Even with the head band it leaves heavy marks on my forehead. I did play for longer around hour and a half. It’s going to take a bit of time to dial it in. But the games are definitely an improvement. Specially with the controllers with the harp tic feedback. I bought the move controllers for VR1 which I payed a lot and used a few times. I believe that is a big step forward in VR gaming. But hopefully the Vr3 will be even better wireless, and better quality like 4k, 4k cinema. Let’s hope I’m still alive 😂 and have the money.

Really great vid Bryan thanks

Thank you! I’ll definitely try some of these out. I’ve been playing with the headset on my nose. It has been slightly uncomfortable. 💀

great informative video, loving my vr2

I find that actually going into a game and adjusting it there is the best way to get the clearest image possible and then tightening it to stay at that position. The headset tends to sag on my head a little so I have to put in a bit higher and when it finally rests on my head it’s at the right eye level. Turning down the brightness level (to 70%)also helped. The image quality really is spectacular when you have it configured perfectly.

Great tips! Proper fit seems to be key for me. Sometimes, it will be blurry on the left. My headset seems to fit naturally off center. My solution is to rotate the headset a couple degrees counter clockwise around my head by grabbing the halo ring.

A great info for psvr2 first timers. I will rewatch this when I finally get a psvr2. I know you have the experience. Meow

I haven't had any issues either. Everything has been easy and intuitive for me. BTW, I rebought Moss 2. Wow!

No issues for me. If anything turning down the colour a bit made it even better. Proper eye tracking calibration is a must. For each person who uses it. I had a few mates over to check it out and one of them thought it was horrible until he went through the eye tracking calibration. He said it was night and day difference. Some games are worse than others though for example. GT7 and RE8 are crispy and beautiful resolution wise. No man’s Sky , while an improvement on PSVR1, the PSVR2 version is still pretty muddy, especially looking mid to far into the horizon. Horizon and kayak are also really nice to when you’re in that sweet spot. I have to agree that it is quite small though, that just a fact.

I noticed that the lenses misted up the first time I put it on. I cleaned it with my fingers and thought nothing of it. I realised last night that I should wipe the lenses and it was like someone gave me a pair of prescription glasses, I can see everything so much clearer. I'd recommend cleaning your lenses even straight out of the box, they've likely been in cold places on the way to you and the warehouse they were in may have even been damp.

Excellent breakdown... ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Having headband in middle of head sweet spot everytime now😍😍

I have no experience with Vr, but i have this niggling feeling that my image quality is too low. I have searched multiple videos/articles to help me fix this.... but this video kinda confirms it for me, it is mentioned that the dashboard on cars in GT7 should be crystal clear but they're not, they're still very blurry. Also I have followed instructions on how to minimize this as much as possible (understanding that you cant completely get rid of blur).

Great Job Bryan!

Awesome video, hon ❤️. Sadly, I find the Halo strap simply does not fit the shape of my head this time round (I had no problem with PSVR1) and the visor sits too low on my head, putting pressure on the bridge of my nose and missing the sweet spot by a few mm. Everything is just *very slightly* out of focus. I'm gonna have to find a solution somehow, even if it means physically modding the Halo Strap in some way. On an unrelated note, it may interest some to know that I am currently typing this comment on my phone while wearing the PSVR2 headset in 'see-through' mode! It's that clear I can even read the tiny text! Nice!

I just got my PSVR2 today and im blown away! But i have experienced some blurriness. I watched this video and realized that you mentioned having the lenses as close to your eyes as possible! That fixed it!

Very useful vid. I get that chromatic aberration so just need to play with how it fits then. Got-cha. Did not have this issue with the Quest 2 at all so maybe my psvr2 is faulty?

This video is a must watch for every owner. Sony should just put a link to this video when ppl unbox their psvr2. I cleaned the lens with a dry microfiber towel and it worked like a charm. And when you do play the game. You do move your head around quite a bit so after every little while you do have to recheck your pupils are in the right place. And readjust and retighten. But for the best vr experience for your buck, I’ll take it.

My problem is that on my headset is that the sweet spot is super small, like a pea inside of a golf ball. This makes it super clear in this “pea area” but outside of that it gets blurry. This means that if I look at an object straight ahead it is super clear until I move my head just a tiny tiny bit in any direction while still looking at the same object as before. Might be something wrong with how my face/eyes are constructed but I don’t think so. And oh, I’ve tried everything mentioned in the video and more, spent a lot of time trying to make the sweet spot bigger, but can’t. Love the headset, but want to try another one out to see if there is any difference. Great video anyways 🔥🔥🔥

One thing I've yet to see people talking about is how well PSVR2 does for those of us who wear glasses. Like, is there worry about scratching the lenses, or is there enough of a safety ring around the lenses, or would "bumpers" be needed. Or is it possible to use it without glasses at all, etc. (last one I doubt, but one can dream).

The Globular Cluster CMP2 comfortable mod for the PSVR2 is the best and the ultimate solution for the PSVR2 sweet spot problems, I installed yesterday on my psvr2 and my sweet spot problems are definitely gone, everything is clearly now without any blurriness and it keeps the headset in place and it doesn't move anymore like it did before with the stock sony psvr2 pads, i don't have to keep adjusting the headset anymore because it stays and keeps everything in place no matter how much you move your head, I'm really happy with it, and i definitely recommend it 💯%

Thank you for this! I go have some blurry issues and the text and fonts on menus have the red blue effect. I will try to play around with it

I had issues on day 1 and 2 . Now ive found the spot ! .

For me it was simply performing the eye alignment procedure every time I use VR2. It only takes a few seconds and for me at least it makes the world of difference .

I actually believe that going pancake lenses down the line will be the biggest jump in happy new-VR users. Finnicky sweetspots for people fighting against motion sickness and not being used to VR = a turn off for many.

I will try turning down the brightness next time i play RE8, that is where I have an issu🙂 Very good guide👍

adjust visibility is what i think i need to do on initial setup i couldnt get right eye to sit in center and didnt realise there was a scroll button to adjust till later on

As always, you are doing god's work Bryan - or rather, Sony's - in 2 minutes you've probably helped 50% of all buyers literally sort their head out. Its taken me a while too - and a realisation that to really see these small but critical differences between 'amazing' and 'unbelievable' I'm best wearing my glasses as opposed to my contact lenses - and I'm still getting the balance right to avoid squashing my forehead so much - but wow what a few days this has been. I'm just blown away, no other words for it - and I've only been playing GT7 and Horizon, with RE8 and my PSVR1 upgrades sat waiting patiently. Thank you once again for looking after the community, can't wait to get my souped up Corvette ZR1 on the grid alongside you soon!!! #gamecatARMY

for me, wearing a baseball cap with the brill to the back does the trick for finding the right spot for the headband. without it I need to fiddle with the position a lot, especially because the headband moves after a while.

Another thing to keep in mind is that some people, whether they know it or not, have eyes that aren't perfectly horizontal to one another. You might want to try adjusting the headset to see if you can wear it a comfortable angle if things feel a little off.

Great video!

Awesome video. Smart dude

I'm surprised by how many people don't have it sitting right on their head. I originally had issues until I realized that the back of the device with the dial needs to be sitting close to the bottom of the back of your head, then tightening somewhat so it's snug but not too snug. Once I did that BAM everything was clear. Documents in RE Village were super clear and readable and everything was nice and sharp.

I found after a few days the IPD adjustment had moved a fair bit. It's spring loaded so it tends to move the lenses closer together

For me, the headstrap just doesn't fit right on my head. The way the sweet spot is, the headset is titled 5° up in the Z axis and creates that purple/green line around text. Only if I tilt it physically down, it's clear for me. So hopefully a 3rd party headstrap could fix it for me but I don't know how that would work with the haptics anyway :/

Nice video. Thanks 👍

Worked thanks.

Thank you ! Huge question. Anytime I look at my virtual hands ( horizon for ex) if I bring my hand to my face it looks blurry. Is that given that I’m technically going cross eyed to see it? Hence why if I keep one eye closed it always looks clear?

Great video.thankyou

I miss the way psvr1's headband would spring closed when you put it on, I never used the dial on the back to lock the headset to my head. Using that dial is mandatory with the psvr2 headband, as it doesn't close when you put it on. The lenses kept pinching my nose or sat on my nose until I realized that the back of the headband needs sit a lot lower than the psvr1 did.

This is a great video. Unfortunately I think I had a defected headset, so it’s been returned for a replacement. Fingers crossed🤞

If you want another tip for PSVR unrelated to display: Put a sponge between the back of your hand and the loop of the controller. Now you're all stuck in there snug and comfy and don't need to hold onto the controller at all times. Reduces strain a lot. It's BY FAR the most comfortable "knuckles" controller out there with this simple 10 cent mod. Try it out. You can even use multiple sponges to really pack your hand in there in the position that makes the most sense for the sticks.

I wonder if a lot of people were just expecting an image as sharp as their 4K TV and VR tech just isn’t. It’s not that your PSVR2 is blurry, VR just has a slight blur / fuzz to the image anyway. And I agree with your point about the “sweet spot” being quite small.

Good video, reducing the brightness helped a lot for me now the more I use it the better it looks. My only issue now is the remotes holding there charge, they seem to be dying out faster than the listed 4 hours and taking longer to charge than the 1.5 hrs. Don’t know why they made the remotes this way because it limits your game time to 4hrs max.

The most helpful for me was probably the double click on the PS icon to get faster into the menu, thanks!

The mura effect made me think there's no improvement over the PSVR 1 in terms of clarity at first. But then I noticed that I didn't notice any screen door effect. :P

Found the sweet spot for me i push tge back strap to bottom of my neck Hair line then tighten finally push the front up a bit so not sitting on my nose

I feel like Bryan made this video for me, after I bitched about it on the live stream yesterday LOL. You're a champ mate, keep up the good work!

Nice video bud..thanks

When you're in the playstation menu is the whole screen supposed to be clear? Because I cannot get the top or the bottom edges clear when I look up with just my eyes no matter how much I try. I have to look up or down with my head for it to appear clear. I think this is causing me some pretty bad motion sickness. I swear I get a little queasy by just scrolling the menues 😅

I really want to know if there's a screen lottery when it comes to mura effect. I heard that different PSVR1 units had different mura patterns. My PSVR1 mura pattern is like a greenish digital noise over the picture noticable when the picture is low res or has washed out colors. It's completely gone when I'm playing something like Tetris Effect but is very present when I'm playing something like VR Worlds due to its low res and muted colors I guess. It would be great to find a way to somehow photograph the mura effect to compare it.

Im still waiting for my VR2 to ship fully, though i wonder if you can reduce the mura effect if you can adjust ingame contrast settings. My old TV had it but only really noticed it in dark souls 3 around certain grey rock wall faces. Adjusting contrast made it go away.

I'm having a few issues with this headset. The comfort level is not what I was hoping for, the pressure around the forehead area gets really uncomfortable after a while, unless I wear the front part higher up which then messes up the image. This relates to the sweet spot being quite fiddly to find every time I put it on. But most problematically, as a glasses wearer everytime I put on the headset it pushes my glasses closer to my eyes which causes them to get smudged up, on top of that the headset lenses can get smudged too. So I'm constantly having to wipe them clean and readjusting the headset, never really finding the perfect balance between comfort and clarity.

Great guide

In the real world 4K is defined by the vertical resolution as the horizontal resolution changes with aspect ratio. The PS VR2 spec is 2040 versus the traditional TV at 2160. So PS VR2 is 94.4% of the traditional 4k display which is close enough for me to consider it 4K.

I think the biggest issue here is people expecting vr to look like the image on a top 4k TV, which it absolutely does not. Part of the reason for the anger, imo, is that the trailers for many of the games give a bit of a false impression of what it will actually look like in the headset... I'm loving my psvr2 so far but the biggest disappointment for me has been kayak, which looks near photorealistic in the trailers but, in reality, anything in the distance (which is most of the game!) looks very blurry. The pool level looks good but I've been pretty disappointed with the rest of it tbh. Would love to know if people disagree with that, as might clue me into something I'm doing wrong!

I can’t say my hand in horizon looks “crystal clear” after following all of these directions but it certainly looks much better. I can read text just fine in cinema mode so maybe I’m “looking into” my horizon hands too much. Maybe I have a pronounced Mura effect im noticing also. I’m not quite sure and at this point horizon looks good enough for me to proceed with playing. Thanks Bryan!

Being a glass wearer I can say how important being up to date with prescription is. I got 2 pairs and one got 0,25 difference on one eye (well obviously both), and I just like frame of my old one so I like play with it but it gives some blur on my left. Using my new one with 0,25 degree more it’s sharp. So just pointing out blur can be eye problems as text is quite sharp when it’s done right. But this has been most overhyped tech beside yearly iPhones, sure I think it’s great but from reviews and previews vs reality, I’m not sure what people see that is such a leap as so many said. Anyways, good video 👍

60 year old gamer here. I wear progressive lenses also. When I put the headset on I first adjust the vertical by looking at text. When I can see the text clearly the closer I am to the sweet spot. After maximum clarity is achieved I then tighten headband to a comfortable level. I will then move the the lenses closer to my face once the headset touches my frame I will back it off till it locks in place. You don’t want to move or push on your glasses as this will effect the sweet spot. Then if necessary I may adjust the ipd wheel ever so slightly. Taking the time effort to put the headset on correctly will make the experience so much better. If it gets slightly blurry over time the headset probably moved slightly on the vertical axis. Stop and adjust the vertical and your golden.😊

I liked the ps vr 1 version way better than this one BUT I haven't tried all your hints yet so maybe, crossing my fingers, this will fix the blurry grainy look. Thanks for taking the time to make the video and sharing.

Thanks for the tips Bryan. I constantly have to fiddle with my headset between taking it on an off. The only major issue I've had is in RE8 when reading item descriptions. I swear ive had to make myself cross-eyed to read anything clearly. Anyone else have this issue, or is it just me? Edit: I should mention it's the floating text when you hit x on an intractable object
