"Meta’s optics and contrast may indeed actually be better, but this is almost certainly not a definitive comparison — too many variables around casting compression and window buffer resolution. Does Immersed use the supersampled layer option with a window above the display resolution? (with an sRGB texture for gamma correct filtering, of course)"

The author received both devices from tear downs by iFixIt and was able to see the image without the lens (without the blurring) as explained in Part 1. Though it seems the AVP tends to do some post processing no matter how they image is displayed

> I see different processing and artifacts happening when natively rendering on the AVP (such as when running Excel), displaying a saved bitmap from a file on the AVP, displaying a bitmap image on a web page, and mirroring the content of a MacBook. With each test image, seeing how it will display differently with each display mode is an adventure.
