The term 4k itself is misleading. If they continued the same naming conventions as previous resolutions, it would be called 2160p. It's kinda infuriating.

[@Rob165x]

Yeah 4K is actually over 8 million pixels, closer to 9m, so it's annoying they use it to mean Horizontal resolution, which I can see why they call it "8k" disregarding the vertical. But it's a very stupid naming scheme. 2K, or 1440p, shouldve been 4k and 4k shouldve been 8k. But marketing. HD is not even the right standard at 3840, 4K is by definition 4096.

[@alex1236035]

Claimed as 8k, feels like 4k, actually 1440p

[@vapour_cs658]

except at the start of the video he says that it takes a 1440p input and its "upscaled" to 4k

[@1InVader1]

Still a lot more than all the shitty 720p and 1200p VR headsets...

[@DeltaNovum]

Ok so for the people who do not understand. It has two 4K screens wich gives you a combined resolution of 8K. It renders 1440 PER screen which gives you a combined resolution of approx. 4K. So the 2 screens combined render at 4K upscaled to 8K. They sell true 8K headsets but almost noone would be able to run it without 2x 1080TI's. It's upscaled to 8K to so you have almost no screendoor effect! And with the added eye tracking, that's now freely added in the KS, it will hopefully be possible to do foveated rendering in the future.

[@Aidiakapi]

Delta Novum No, 8K would be 4 (2^2, because 8/4 = 2 and it's in 2 dimensions) times a 4K screen. This would more accurately be called 2160p in 32:9 aspect ratio. The normal version is still upscaled from 1440p, though I don't know whether it's scaled from 16:9 or 32:9, but I sure as hell hope the latter.

[@DeltaNovum]

I did some research and you are correct. It's very confusing with the naming conventions they use. For the people who want to know the difference in pixels. 8K= around 33M pixel, 4K= around 8,3M pixels. The Pimax 8k Renders around 7,4M pixels and it's output is around 16,6M pixels. So it renders at around 4K but the output is around half of that of 8K. Which to me is still very impressive.

[@Guardian179]

I can't wait until Oculus or HTC come out with their 2nd gen headsets. I think this will pressure them into working on them sooner, rather than sitting on the current gen for awhile. I think wide fov and higher resolution will be widely available from one or both before 2020.

[@janikhubert3549]

[@evolicious]

Well thanks to MS, you will be seeing low-end VR headsets ("MR"). Samsung, HP, Lenova, Acer, and Dell are releasing HMDs soon. www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/collections/vrandmixedrealityheadsets They have a high price point, for now, but I don't doubt once everyone sees how far inferior they are to the Rift/Vive, they will go down in price to around the $200 range.

[@F4CEpa1m]

Some more accurate info: - Won't run at 90hz, only around 85hz is confirmed - The controllers have changed, now more like Valve Knuckles using capsense sensors, though not 100% locked down - Controllers now optional for backers to get thumbsticks and/or pads - The cooling fan module isn't only "trippy", it keeps you cool and helps to reduce motion sickness - Linus is spot on about oled vs lcd though lcd panels have had recent jumps in the tech making them a decent quality option for VR (maybe only option here as never seen a 4k OLED) - CLPL (screens) stands for 'Customized Low Persistence Liquid' display.

Nothing to do with amount of screens used since you can use multiple panels aligned seamlessly for display creation. The reason why its not 8K is because its resolution is 7680×2160 instead of being 7680×4320

So it's not 8k but two 4K screens, and then they don't even run at 4K unless you have the X variant. That's some shady work right there

[@ge2719]

it is all clearly explained on the kickstarter and their website and on every video i've ever seen about it.

[@Ares-5933]

Graeme Evans that it's not really 8k? Because I went through about half the kickstarter page and they keep using the "8k resolution" as a point

[@ge2719]

Ares5933 it is 8k. The "k" resolution standard is a resolution width. And the width is that of 8k. Just not 16:9 8k.

[@ge2719]

Ares5933 also. Their campaign video. 55 seconds in, "we use a 4k display per eye"

[@Vortigon]

Yeah it's not 8K by any normal persons definition of the term or by any technical definition of the term - it's a total bait and switch - if I have two monitors running at 4k mirroring the same output I don't have an 8K monitor, I have two 4k monitors

[@rharcus]

I've been using a pimax 2k for a long time now, since shortly after they came out - and it's preferred for some games by far. For example Elite Dangerous, the difference in pixel density makes text readable and the game look so, so much better - it's virtually unplayable on my vive. It didn't support motion controls at the start, so I use a vive for games like superhot or others that require motion controls still, but the Pimax has been great for ED and I did deal with their customer support once, to which I mailed them the device and they mailed me back a new one right away - pretty awesome imo. I'm looking forward to their 8K release, but I'll probably buy the 5k model - glad they've pushed up the release date to nail down the few remaining bugs.

[@hk07666]

Why did they put 4k displays in it if they can only run at 1440p?...

[@livefancams]

they are waiting on sourcing hardware for the true 8k part, something about the control board for non-upscale X version is not going to be ready for a few months yet. Prototyping it this way gets them feedback on the lens and tracking without having to wait for the last part.

[@Wistbacka]

rtfgujihy uyhjigtfbr why do Sony claim 4K in PS4 Pro, when it is just upscaled to 4K?

[@Wistbacka]

rtfgujihy uyhjigtfbr why do Sony claim 4K in PS4 Pro, when it is just upscaled to 4K?

[@MrBuggitt]

Could argue that it helps with screen door effect. even though more pixels are just showing the same/similar color, reduces the percentage of "black line" due to having higher pixel density.

[@NevolmonGaming]

Chinese marketing at it's finest.

[@danielhiggins3575]

well 2 4k monitors wouldnt be 8k, with that logic youd actually need 4 monitors not 2

[@JoelBlackman]

I know this is only V.2 but this video makes me happy I didn't back the kickstarter. Too many issues still and too soon of an estimated release date to get them fixed. At worst I'll pay an extra $100 or so to buy the headset at commercial release. If it's a complete flop and they can't fix the issues than I've saved the $500-$800 to be put towards next gen VR that has everything fixed.

[@ltzeu8510]

Joel Blackman if it's just a starter product tho they're gonna make some impressive equipment in the future

[@DeltaNovum]

If you look at some youtube clips from usage at the VRdays (Sweviver for example) last week it seems all of the problems Linus adressed are fixed. I'm actually sad I couldn't fund the KS.

[@Duijnkiller]

Remember this is from 2017, they improved alot! I'm considering buying pimax 5k+ 8k is not possible for pc. To much demanding with the high end Gpu Considering SLI or NVLINK? it's barely working on games... And how many people are buying a high end pc that begins at minimum $1500+

[@LouSaydus]

lol you would need 2x 2080ti to run modern games at 90+ fps at 8k. Since it isnt real 8k, it'll probably work but ypu're looking at 2500 just for the video cards.

No it's not. Samsung does not accept any video's in VR from it's own device since a year or so. So you can't watch porn in 3D VR anymore without hacking the system.
