    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    We get it, Edwin... you hate Apple. Perhaps you'll consider letting the discussion continue without you feeling the need to constantly pee in the pool? Pretty please? Mark

    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    I guess I didn't make clear... I will sit in the exact same theater room as I sit in now when watching my current 75" Sony TV. Exact same seat. Exact same speaker placement with exactly the same distances from my ears. My A/V receiver is calibrated for that seat to be the "sweet spot" seat...

    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    What do you bet we know if there is such integration BEFORE anyone is at the point of plunking down $3,500 to buy an AVP?! If no integration exists that would allow me to simply use the AVP as a display only, then I won't plan to buy one. Easy peasy. Mark

    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    It only needs to interface with my Apple TV 4K. The Apple TV 4K supplies the audio the Apple Vision Pro provides the video. I am quite confident Apple has already thought of it. And you are aware that the "built-in audio pods" are NOT in-ear or over-the-ear devices, right? They are on the...

    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    Who said anything about using headphones? I plan to sit in my home theater room and use the exact same surround system that I use when watching our Sony 75" TV. The Apple Vision Pro will only replace the TV (with a much larger virtual TV that looks BETTER than the high-end TV we already have)...

    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    I am REALLY looking forward to experiencing that bit of virtual reality. I envision a massive virtual theater screen with rows of seats in front (and to the sides) of me, filled with well-behaved virtual humans also watching the film. They cheer, laugh and applaud at just the right moments...

    How do you know if you've never tried it? Perhaps you meant to say, you don't THINK you could watch a movie like that? Mark

    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    John Guber's first take on Apple Vision Pro: https://daringfireball.net/2023/06/first_impressions_of_vision_pro_and_visionos Some quotes from his article: Those are very important factors if, ultimately, my main use case would be to watch a virtual gigantic movie screen on the other side of...

    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    The hardware and software on the inside is what makes it premium, not the Apple logo. It just so happens that Apple is the company making a premium product for its customers. Mark

    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    Those who are/were fans of 3D TV have greatly overestimated the allure of the feature. The Apple Vision Pro will be far more successful than the AR/VR headsets that have come before it. We'll have to wait and see how much of Apple's patented technology gets ripped off by Samsung. Mark

    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    Edwin, You sound the same as about 75% of my friends sounded when I purchased an original iPhone on June 29, 2007. :) I kind of pride myself on having a good feel for what will and won't be successful in the consumer electronics field. I correctly predicted the success of the iPhone and iPad...

    Apple Vision Pro - Replacement for TV display?

    Our daughter lives in a different state. Since COVID we have guests over far less frequently. Besides, there's no way I'd remotely consider buying enough Apple Vision Pro headsets for guests to wear them too. But.. what if our friends buy their own? Would they bring them over and we'd watch...

    From the hands-on article linked below... Additionally, 3D movie content like the second Avatar movie that Apple demoed surpasses anything you've ever seen in a theater or theme park experience. https://www.techspot.com/news/98965-got-play-apple-vision-pro-saw-future-computing.html Now, I am...
