LCD screen was a feature of the Index over the OLED screen in the Vive. On the Vive, the OLED has a visible pattern and some of the image is lost because there aren’t an even number of red green and blue subpixels (similar to PSVR2). The Beyond is screen is micro OLED with a more regular subpixel pattern.
PSVR might be the only headset available with these features for cheaper, but not much cheaper, and it doesn’t have the headphones.
Yeah that pattern is called “Pentile” or RGBG. Very annoying indeed on screens where you look right up to the pixels. And it reduces the number of subpixels by 1/3 so the resolution really suffers.
The PSVR1 had a real RGB panel but sadly the PSVR2 moved to pentile.

The Index by itself is 500 dollars, not 1k.
