[Large amount of chromatic abberation and bright object smearing]

I got the Cosmos Elite as my second headset next to my Vive Pro, but I'm having large issues with it.

Only a very small central region is sharp, everything outside ~10 degrees from the center is very fuzzy (mainly due to large amount of chromatic abberation).

Moving around causes very visible smearing on bright objects.

I never run into either of these problems on my old Vive Pro.

Are these normal for the headset, or do I have some settings out of whack?

[Vive Pro optical cables solution?]

I have basically killed my current PC by carrying it around every day and unplugging and re-plugging it.

Since I would prefer to not repeat this experience, is anyone successfully using optical cables to connect Vive Pro from a different room (cca. 20m)?
