Source: vive.com (verified 2026-07-10) · corroborated by roadtovr.com. HTC's official VIVE Pro 2 spec page confirms this exact model (Vive Pro 2, marketed as 5K, successor to the Vive Pro): 2448×2448 pixels per eye dual RGB low-persistence LCD, 90/120 Hz refresh, up to 120° horizontal field of view, and SteamVR Tracking V2.0 requiring external base stations — connected via DisplayPort 1.2 + USB 3.0, so it is PC-tethered (not standalone) with no internal storage. Road to VR's dated launch review (June 1, 2021) corroborates the same 2,448×2,448 per-eye LCD, 90Hz/120Hz, 120° horizontal FOV, SteamVR external-beacon tracking, "2x RGB" on-board cameras and "Pass-through view: Yes", and states the US price as "$800 for the headset by itself or $1,400 full kit." Wikipedia adds it was unveiled May 11, 2021 with the Full Kit shipping October 2021; the headset-only version reviewed here became available June 2021. No fetched page states headset weight verbatim, so weight_g is null.
