How well does PSVR work on PC?

I've seen some videos and guides but a lot of them are dated back multiple years.

I'm primarily looking for something to use for watching 3D movies.

isn't better to buy a WMR headset? Probably cheaper and supported natively by windows
- I own a PS4 so having the dual functionality would be nice though I would primarily be using it for videos. As I said in another comment they are also quite cheap (~$100) where I live and I'd like to avoid any of Meta's software and only Oculus products (and the PSVR) are available second hand
Are you looking at the original or psvr2?
I believe the experience is more complete (though unofficial) with psvr1, but work is underway for psvr2 compatibility (again, unofficial)
Edit: psvr2 progress: https://twitter.com/iVRy_VR?s=20
- I am looking at the original. They can be found real cheap where I live second hand
  
  I have 0 experience with it, but from what I can tell that same iVRY project is complete for psvr1 (and some other headsets)
  
  If you're going to buy second hand then you'd be better off with a WMR or Oculus device.
  
  Don't bother.
  I tried this route, you'll be disappointed. I would advise getting a pre-owned Rift S which are cheap as fuck now.
  Works perfectly with steam VR, and has proper tracking controllers. You can't play Half Life Alyx with the PlayStation set - you can with a rift s. You're basically cutting out the vast majority of PC VR experiences if you go with the PSVR.
  Also you don't need a Facebook account for the rift s, unlike the quest headsets.
