When it comes to virtual reality headsets, Samsung Odyssey and Oculus Rift S both offer excellent performance. In this article, I will compare the two devices to provide a thorough product comparison.

Starting with their field of view (FOV), both headsets have a wide FOV at 115° and 110° respectively. This means that you’ll have an immersive experience no matter which headset you choose. However, the Oculus Rift S has a slightly wider FOV which may give you an edge in terms of immersion when playing certain games or watching movies.

In terms of resolution, the Samsung Odyssey has a higher resolution than the Oculus Rift S at 1440 × 1600 px compared to 2560 × 1440 px on the latter device. This means that while playing games or watching movies on your headset you will be able to enjoy high-quality visuals with very few pixels visible even when up close.

As for minimum CPU requirements, both headsets require relatively powerful processors in order to run smoothly without any lag or stuttering; The Samsung Odyssey requires Intel Core i5 whereas the Oculus Rift S requires either Intel i3-6100 / AMD Ryzen 3 1200, FX4350 or greater for optimal performance. This can be seen as either a pro or con depending on what kind of processor your computer currently has installed; if your PC already meets these requirements then you’re good to go but if not then this could be seen as an additional cost depending on how powerful of a processor you need in order to meet these requirements.

Furthermore, both headsets require reasonably powerful GPUs as well such as Nvidia GTX 1050Ti / AMD Radeon RX 470 or greater for best results on the Oculus Rift S and Nvidia GTX1050 for Samsung Odyssey users. Again this could be seen as either a pro or con depending on your current graphics card setup - if your GPU meets these specifications then great but if not then this could represent an additional investment before being able to use one of these VR headsets properly.

Finally, in terms of refresh rate both headsets come with 90 Hz and 80 Hz respectively meaning that they will still provide smooth visuals even when moving around quickly whilst playing intense games; however it should be noted that whilst having higher refresh rate helps reduce motion sickness experienced by some people it does require more processing power from your computer so keep that in mind too when choosing between these two products based off their refresh rates alone!

Overall, I found that both devices are well suited towards providing an enjoyable VR experience given their respective specs; however I would personally lean towards recommending the Samsung Odyssey over the Oculus Rift S due its higher resolution screen along with its ability to handle more intense applications with ease thanks to its higher refresh rate setting coupled with lower minimum hardware requirements than those needed by its competitor – making it ideal for budget conscious buyers who still want quality VR experiences at reasonable prices!
