[@pavelruban1280]

@GetHip, some points you got wrong, np as its hard to use hmd, but overall very fair review good job: 1. FFR - fixed foveated rendering - it looks wrong in your video like a rectangle, once you changed it you needed to restart steamvr - then its oval and only on periphery 2. for colours make sure you set backlight option ro 100%, if it looks cold you may set only green channels brightness to -1 and keep 0 for other values, also reshade plugin makes games look like index level colours 3. culling on periphery - many games allow to disable it, otherwise you can turn Parallel projection and fix it, it requires experience but it can be overcome 4. for performance i find 8kx better than G2/VP2, I can play dirt rally 2.0 on almost all ultras apart shadows and on 150/120 fov with reshade plugin, it looks spectacular and motion smoothing (should be enabled in pittool and PP turned off) works very well Also if setup properly DCS looks just so cool in this thing

Super impressed at the pure transparency while still not being aggressive or dismissive or self righteous about any of your opinions.. Thank you for helping me navigate the new world of VR that I'm testing out... definitely like the 200 degree field of view of the Pimax, but that's about all..

[@bazilette5955]

The one thing I love about the pimax is the design, it looks so futuristic and like a quality piece of hardware whereas the quest 2 does look a bit cheaply made to me(especially the default strap, the quest 2 was my first personally owned headset so I've had more time to mull over it's design features but that's my opinion right now)

[@MichaelJohnson-nj6pc]

I feel the greatest point to the Pimax is obviously the FOV, the resolution doesn't bother me so much with the Quest. But when I try to increase the FOV on Quest 2 by taking off the face cover, it just feels so much more immersive. That's what they need to do for Quest 3 and do it in a way that minimises motion sickness with maybe blurred border using eye tracking

[@joshcollier2023]

Man that 200 degree headset is crazy. I have two Quest 2s one 256gb and one 64gb and love them. Being wireless is awesome and being able to play PCVR is great. It is so much better for newbies to be wireless and to be able to take it places and use it. We took our travel trailer to an RV Park and they had a clubhouse and it was awesome to be able to play in that huge area and to play without a puter and the value for $299 or $399 is amazing.

The reason for the tracking deteriorating overtime is because to batteries you use. Use 1.5 volt batteries, not 1.2 volt.

[@Bob-huisbaas]

FINNALY someone has the guts to talk honestly about this thing. People are just praising the fov and sweet spot of this thing like its soooo much better than the index or the Reverb G2 (which i own). It almost gave me the perception that you could look onto the dashboard of a car without any blur. On my Reverb i can read the dash but its a little bit blurry. But you can confirm or deny if this was indeed the case.

[@grievousminded7517]

The best feature besides the sick FOW is the design of the pimax headsets in general. They look so neat!

My current VR setup is HTC VIVE with Valve Index controllers, it’s my sweet spot because while I do want to upgrade to the Index in the future, the VIVE is compatible with the controllers and also the base stations.

[@krunchy3761]

This is so late but I wanted to mention a few things that Pimax apparently didn't make you aware of and to provide information to prospective buyers.. First - The Pimax Experience software. This is in beta and is a separate piece that loads after pitools. This includes so much more functionality than pitools and it's in VR. Here is where you have your settings for brightness and colors letting you set it to look as good as any other headset on the market. It's also a launcher and profile editor for your games and it will collect and launch your games from steam, oculus, vive etc. It also includes a mediocre, but usable virtual desktop. Finally for game support, enabling parallel projection will fix many compatibility issues - but at a performance cost of 20-30%. You can also run it at a lower FoV of 150 or 120 degrees. 150 still looks great and 120 will put you on par with the Index. Finally they are working on 90Hz for the Native 4k. Also I didn't see it mentioned, but you can run at upscaled half resolution at 114Hz. Don't bother with the hand tracking or eye tracking modules. There just isn't enough support for hand tracking and from what I have seeing in reviews, the eye tracking is less than stellar.

Being able to use the base station tracking on the Pimax allows you to upgrade later with new controllers or Vive trackers. That's a big plus for me

[@oomnptideedee5207]

I own both a Pimax 8KX (which I am returning) and Oculus Quest 2 for DCS and I find your review very accurate. I actually prefer the Oculus Quest 2 and find it overall a better headset for this game because of the issues you describe, plus there is a very slight grainyness like a photo taken in low light conditions. The machine I run it on is an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor 3.80 GHz, 32 GB RAM, Geforce RTX 3080Ti, and I have to reduce resolution and graphics quality to such an extent that the only benefit I get is a wider FOV at an immense cost to graphics quality and resolution, not to mention the $1,000 dollars + base station + controllers whereas the Quest 2 does an overall better job at actually displaying the warbirds I am trying to shoot at. I had the itch for it when another well-known youtuber said it was so vivid the sunlight was bothering his eyes in the game (total farce); what I appreciate about your videos is that you never seem to have this kind of hype that so many others keep doing.

My favorite feature of the pimax is that if I can afford the headset, I made it in life. Actually though, I think the 200 degree FOV is a cool feature if it is utilized properly in games

[@iconoclast485]

I think the reason that the blurriness on the outer areas of the FOV are great is because the human eye works the same way the farther away from the focus of your eyesight the less data your optical nerve sends from your retina so it's working like an eye in a way not exactly but it makes sense.
