Have any of y’all tried the Samsung Odyssey? Initial reviews over at the DCS forums are pretty positive, and it even sounds like Wags has converted. Haven’t compared the specs side by side against the Rift yet, either.

Plugged in everything - Windows appears to have recognized everything and am now going through the setup process. The hand controllers look like something out Interstellar…
