With the motherboard out of the way, we're ready to extract the DK2's display.
The display has a rubber case housed in a plastic backing. Our spidey senses start tingling when we peel off the rubber case...
The display is—drumroll please—literally the front panel of a Samsung Galaxy Note 3.
This seems to make economical sense, since Oculus is working to ship something like 45,000 DK2s—a goodly number for a mid-development prototype, but certainly not enough to warrant a fully custom display. It looks like Oculus is already taking advantage of their partnership with Samsung.
