Still working on it right now...
The actual display is not as good as we want it to be so we are still in the process of optimization.
Current ETA would be the end of October or early of November.
Best,

Oculus Quest highest video resolution??

Yum Hi yum, i have tried many 5400x2700 on the Quest and none of them ever played smooth for me. Is there anything you can recommend me to do? like disable/enable certain settings in Skybox or in the Quest? i'm still hoping every day for the new feature that will support higher resolutions than 2160p, but i would be already completely satisfied with 2700p, so any tips would be really appreciated :)
- Edited
You may wanna try h264 with lower frame rate (30 fps should be alright) and bit rate (below 40mb/s) on 5400x2700 videos. It looks pretty smoothy for us.
h265 material maxes out around 4k.
devonsmith Thanks for this feedback.

Hi. Sorry for the dumb question ... but is there any advantage in playing 5K videos on Oculus Quest in comparison to 4K videos or 3K?
Because the resolution of the Oculus Quest is 1600x1440 which means 3200x1440 for both eyes. And in my opinion I don't see a difference between 3200x1440 and 3840x1920 videos. I really don't. Maybe its my eyes ;-)
Where You see a difference ist when the video has a bad compression and You see artefacts. But a good video with 3200x1440 seems to be sufficient for me - because the Hardware cannot show more pixels and 5K only needs more CPU/GPU power for playing&rescaling.
Or is it just so You don't need to convert 5K/6K/8K videos for playing native on an Oculus Quest or whatelse?
Thanks and Merry Christmas
It's your eyes.
The total video resolution is wrapped around your head either in 180 or 360 degrees. What you view in your line-of-sight is essentially only a part of the whole video (cropped or zoomed in if you will), which effectively has a lower visible resolution than the total resolution of the video.
If you had a 4k or 5k video source, that visible portion can then reach closer to the full resolution of the display. As for 4k vs. 5k, I wouldn't know, but there is a clear difference between 3.2k and 4k.

Are you guys still working on optimizing the quest for 5k and up videos? anything higher than 4k and i am getting very bad stuttering, and this is with all quest video players. would be great if was fixed in skybox
thanks
any news about 5k-6k playback on oculus go? i would like to see 5400x2700 HEVC h265 playback on oculus go
Second that. Any news? It keeps getting extended and its now Q1 2020
dont think this is coming folks
egovr
this is sad, and doesnt make sense. dont understand how come my gear vr with s7, which is older tech than the quest, is able to properly decode 5k video and give smooth playback and the quest cant.

We are settling on a planning release date of March 1st on Quest and Gear.
This is a hard project and our engineers are working hard on it for about a year now.
Just need to finish it up and polish the audio output now.
Thank you all being very patience with us.
Yum great news, thanks!!
i think that's because your s7 is probably a non-US S7 which uses exynos chips instead of snapdragon chips. theexyones chips have been much better at decoding 5k, the quest uses a snapdragon.
lmikey yup it's non us, that explains it, thnx
