In short

Visor is first-wave WMR at 1440×1440 / 90 Hz / Fresnel. Keep Dell 110° and Microsoft 105°. Do not invent grams. Controllers are a second SKU unless you have the VRP100 combo.

Who it is for

  • Owners documenting VR118 from Dell’s own spec table and Microsoft’s WMR chart.

Who should skip it

  • Anyone on Windows 11 24H2+. Microsoft: WMR unsupported.
  • Buyers who need published grams — Dell’s table omits mass.
  • Standalone / no-PC buyers.

Key differentiators

  • 1440×1440 per eye LCD; 706 ppi; 90 Hz; Fresnel (Dell).
  • Software IPD only. Flip-up not claimed on the Dell table.
  • Under-13 restriction is Dell’s own safety sentence.

Caveats

  • FOV conflict: Dell 110° vs Microsoft 105°. Quote both.
  • Audio wording split in the same guide: intro “headphones required” vs troubleshooting “headphone jack or built-in speakers.”
  • No grams. No invented USD.
  • No hands-on testing.

Frequently asked questions

Is the FOV 110° or 105°?

Dell’s user-guide table says 110 degrees. Microsoft’s WMR table says 105°. We keep both.

Are controllers in the box?

Not in VR118. They are in the VRP100 combo, or sold as VRC100.
