Vive features dual OLED panel displays of 1080 x 1200 per eye. The colors are vibrant, the [[resolution]] is adequate and the [[screen door effect]] is minimal. The only glaring flaw of Vive's display and optics system is the [[Fresnel artifacts]]. The artifacts are caused by [[Fresnel lenses]]' ridges which scatter light. They look similar to lens flares and are noticeable whenever there are high contract elements on the screen i.e. white text on a black background.
