{{APIRef("WebVR API")}}{{Deprecated_Header}}

The **`display`** read-only property of the {{domxref("VRDisplayEvent")}} interface returns the {{domxref("VRDisplay")}} associated with this event.

> **Note:** This property was part of the old [WebVR API](https://immersive-web.github.io/webvr/spec/1.1/). It has been superseded by the [WebXR Device API](https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr/).

## Syntax

```js
var myDisplay = vrDisplayEventInstance.display;
```

### Value

A {{domxref("VRDisplay")}} object.

## Examples

```js
window.addEventListener('vrdisplaypresentchange', function(e) {
    console.log('Display ' + e.display.displayId + ' presentation has changed. Reason given: ' + e.reason + '.');
  })
```

## Specifications

This property was part of the old [WebVR API](https://immersive-web.github.io/webvr/spec/1.1/) that has been superseded by the [WebXR Device API](https://immersive-web.github.io/webxr/). It is no longer on track to becoming a standard.

Until all browsers have implemented the new [WebXR APIs](/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebXR_Device_API/Fundamentals), it is recommended to rely on frameworks, like [A-Frame](https://aframe.io/), [Babylon.js](https://www.babylonjs.com/), or [Three.js](https://threejs.org/), or a [polyfill](https://github.com/immersive-web/webxr-polyfill), to develop WebXR applications that will work across all browsers [\[1\]](https://developer.oculus.com/documentation/oculus-browser/browser-vr-xr/).

## Browser compatibility
