A major improvement from the 2014 edition is display. The latest version uses 5.7 inches (1920 x RGB x 1080) organic EL display instead of liquid crystal. The refresh rate has reached 120 Hz, which means that it corresponds to 120 fps by sandwiching an intermediate frame at 60 fps.

Viewing angle is 100 degrees.


Morpheus is planned to be released in the first half of 2016 and is currently producing a platform for PlayStation 4 game developers.
