You can now use the Meta Quest as a screen for HDMI devices


Realize your home theater dreams without a projector.

Using the free Meta Quest HDMI Link app does require additional hardware, but it’s still a relatively cheap way to repurpose the headset, instead of buying single-purpose video glasses that can cost just as much. These capture cards are now as small as USB flash drives, can cost less than $20(Note: The Verge hasn’t tested this or any of the offerings currently on Amazon), and typically feature an HDMI port on one end with a USB-A or USB-C connection on the other. You’ll also need to “grant the necessary permissions” once the Quest boots up, but after that the video from the connected device can be viewed with “near-zero latency” on a floating resizable screen.
