=== Display ===
 
The Rokid Max features dual Sony Micro-OLED displays delivering Full HD 1920×1080 resolution per eye. Key display specifications include:
 
* 360-inch equivalent virtual screen size
* 50° diagonal field of view
* 120 Hz refresh rate for smooth motion
* 600 nits brightness
* 106% sRGB color gamut coverage
* Birdbath optical technology<ref name="vrcompare">{{cite web |url=https://vr-compare.com/headset/rokidmax |title=Rokid Max: Full Specification |publisher=VRcompare |access-date=2025-01-07}}</ref>
 
The birdbath optics are certified for:
* Flicker-free operation
* Low glare
* Low blue light emission
* Eye comfort for extended use
 
=== Vision Correction ===
 
The Rokid Max includes adjustable diopter dials on each lens, allowing users with nearsightedness to use the glasses without prescription lenses.
