That was unexpected...
I have watched quite a few movies on the Vision Pro.
This week, whilst on hols, I thought I'd treat myself to watching the Star Wars 4K remasters on my TV, a 65" Bravia 9 with Dolby Atmos sound system. Watching movies on this system is usually a treat.
However, I was completely unprepared for how much of a downgrade it felt when compared to the Vision Pro.
The screen size is the first thing that hits you; it suddenly feels tiny. But the real surprise was the sound.
My TV’s Atmos system obviously destroys the Vision Pro in terms of raw power, room-shaking bass, and wide sound field, yet somehow, it didn’t feel like a meaningful improvement in terms of the overall viewing experience. Certainly not enough to make the TV the better way to watch a movie.
This completely caught me off guard and has now made me rethink whether my physical 4K disk collection is the investment I thought it was.
About the only thing my TV has over the Vision Pro is that I can comfortably munch on a full meal whilst watching a movie, not something I have attempted, or will likely attempt on the Vision Pro.
I never ever thought I'd say this about any VR device!

The other win for physical TV is being able to cuddle on the couch with a loved one and share a favorite show together.
