The Rift S featured a single fast-switch LCD panel with a resolution of 2560×1440 (1280×1440 per eye), an upgrade from the Rift CV1's dual OLED displays with 1080×1200 per eye resolution.<ref name="specs">https://vr-compare.com/headset/oculusrifts</ref> While the resolution was improved, the refresh rate was reduced from 90Hz on the original Rift to 80Hz on the Rift S.
