Why you SHOULD use Pimax Crystal to watch movies in VR

[@Dickachu2]

0:44 that's it!!!! Im getting a Crystal

[@SweViver]

Haha best reason ever!

[@TonyDrecaps]

Movies are great on this. Big use case for me. Good info

[@SweViver]

Yep, I agree. I was never much into watching movies in VR until now, when it finally feels worth it! Thanks man

[@glitchinthematrix9306]

Dont let the wife found out about that educational content😂

[@KatemisMoon]

My Crystal gets here within an hour!

[@sushishin]

after 4 months are you happy with it?

[@technikchegger7228]

You did very well SweViver

[@SweViver]

Thanks man. A fun topic for sure and very underrated in my opinion.

[@hezimoe1]

Glad to cya again Sweviver 😊

[@vrgimp8548]

I sure hope you do another one of these when the 12 K comes out brother. I'm surprised the company didn't stick with the 42 PPD lenses precisely for this purpose. Pimax crystal hits 200 nits in highlights on pimax Crystal, so in a dark VR theater environment it fits the standards that anyone would want from a dedicated home theater set up in terms of its dynamic range.

[@SweViver]

I promise there will be lots of 12K coverage once its out! Indeed I would love to see retail 42ppd lenses. There are definitely good use cases for these.

[@mrnigam4486]

pimax crystal light is coming ! Bigscreen beyond has trouble now when the new pimax launch is only for 899 usd with built-in inside-out tracking and ipd adjustments and asperical optics !

[@pertsonvelts1699]

Great topic and coverage, thank you!

[@SweViver]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Love this topic too and I think its way too underrated in general.

[@tamchau324]

Yeah, I do enjoy some "educational content" for science of course, especially the ones from Japan.😄😄😄

[@steveflynn9279]

Thanks for the very informative video. No matter which platform I use I cannot view any streaming content (Netflix, Paramount+...). The main page show up but when you play the content the screen is blank but the audio is there. I'm using Chrome with graphics acceleration turned off. Any suggestions?

[@isamuu99]

This video was absolutely phenomenal Martin. Really enjoyed it. I'm personally waiting for the right VR headset to come out that really gives you a nearly perfect cinema viewing experience. Based on what we know of the Pimax Crystal Super, would you say it'll be THE ultimate headset to watch movies on, once it comes out? Will the resolution of the Super be more the current Crystal, delivering an even sharper image?

[@64kernel]

Hi Martin! Miss your content man. Great info. There's a Pimax in my future for sure.

[@SweViver]

Thanks man 😀 For sure!

[@aline.tech.reviews]

The adult entertainment bit made me lol; "trust me" 😆

[@cronobactersakazakii5133]

11:00 I still keep of my LG passive 3D tv. But nit to look at Avatar 2 lol. I don’t care about Navi’s vacation in the Seychelles.

[@AdamsSIMporium]

7:15 well it's nearly to the edges but not completely, not like the Quest 3/Pro is. This is the one area in which the Q3 beats the Crystal, but of course the Crystal image is better in every other aspect really.

[@x32i77]

I will wait for Somnium Vr1 which will be released soon :)

[@SweViver]

Sure, it will be interesting to see how it compares to Crystal!

[@x32i77]

@@SweViver the Vr1 will be released 1 year after the crystal so it is to be to expected that its better . It's way more expensive though . The 120-130°h fov will be epic though+awesome passthrough 🙂

[@laartwork]

@@x32i77 the next StarVR. I only care about what I can use now

[@johncapone8843]

will quest 3 work well also? more in my budget right now!

[@AdamsSIMporium]

Yes, the Crystal resolution is awesome, but the Quest 3 has true edge to edge lens clarity. They are both awesome.

[@SweViver]

Any VR headset will work for movies. Its all about what level of quality you expect or demand. Crystal is the top tier when it comes to that, which is the key point in this video. Its not for everyone, of course.

[@johncapone8843]

@@SweViver Hey Swe, thx for the reply, yes I know the pimax crystal will be better but will all those apps work with the quest 3? and where do I find them?

[@laartwork]

@@johncapone8843 in the quest store. Bigscreen and Skybox

[@elmaxlife]

awesome video

[@AlainTrentini]

Great video. I hate it that they stopped making 3D tv's. So can you watch a 3D movie in Pimax Crystal without glasses then? I saw the Pimax Crystal Light is available also now. It would be worth it for the the 3D movies alone for me already haha. My eyes are not the best for short distance anymore being in my 50s but i read that if you have good vision for distance between 1 and 2 meter that you have no problem using it. Is that correct? Greetings from Belgium.

[@TommyScott-g1p]

Interesting use cases. So u think its better than quest 3 for movies?

[@ArminNoroozi]

I'm impressed!

[@flaminski]

Virtual Desktop compatible with Pimax VR?

[@prodriver_es5647]

I talk with Gudin and said me that not at all. If you check and it is tell me!!!

[@prodriver_es5647]

Is there any option to see adult content via website? In my Pico 4, with the native web browser I can reproduce it online and in 3D mode, but I can’t do it via Virtual Desktop or at least I don’t know how to do it… and now I’m going to buy the Cristal light and that is a matter for me…

[@TommyScott-g1p]

Btw, i preordered the pimax crystal light. I paid 30 euros as fee. do u know when i will get the order and pay the full amount. thanks you

[@jimbobson7704]

great video thanks!

[@Clintwoodz]

What's her name @ 16:50 please. For researching purposes

[@SweViver]

Alexis Crystal 😉 Pretty hilarious, it is actually her name. A Czech star.

[@ShaneMcGrath.]

@@SweViver Ahh a fellow man of culture I see, Love it. ;) VR Pr0n is actually quite good, The new AR stuff is pretty crazy as well.

[@glitchinthematrix9306]

Is it possible to work on multiple monitors in the pimax crystal? Lets say i want 4 chrome screens for tradingview? Do i really need 4 monitors or can this be virtually achieved?

[@SweViver]

Yes of course, applications such as Virtual Desktop OVR Toolkit can arrange even more than 4 monitors/windows.

[@dman7668]

It takes like 2000$ to do that though. You could just get a projector for cheaper and have a bigscreen without anything on your head.

[@komisch4174]

Das Ding ist zu groß und zu schwer.

[@Ulster-Fry-777]

i have the crystal sim coming tomorrow, { no controllers} can i still watch movies on the crystal sim?

[@SweViver]

Sure in most of these apps you can use gaze-interaction in the menus without controllers, or simply run Virtual Desktop and control everything with your mouse. Enjoy! 😀

[@Woody-ov6xk]

Thankyou.👍

[@PlaCrown]

Im sad that 3D movies are only 1080p, They would work so well with VR if they were higher resolution

[@SweViver]

There are 4K 3D movies and even higher res. Just need to find the right sources. Hint: Try to get invited to 3dt*rrents dot org

[@sushishin]

Need crystal super 🤤 Crystal and crystal light :2880×2880 / 35 ppd Crystal super : 3840×3840 / 50ppd and 57 ppd for micro oled version Human vision ~60 ppd (Ppd=pixel per degres)

[@dathyr1]

Why just the Crystal VR headset for movies? There are other good VR headsets that will work just fine for watching movies.

[@metalceesie219]

For movie watching is much better to get a lightweight vr headset like the bigscreenbeyond.. The pimax crystal is too much off a brick(with all respect ofcourse,for flightsimming it can be okay)Try to lay down for relax movie watching or something like that,its a no go..

[@SweViver]

Comfort wise yes. Quality wise, no. I do have the Bigscreen Beyond here and I would claim even the G2 has better image quality.

[@laartwork]

Bigscreen beyond made me real sweaty in 20 min.

[@JoTokutora]

I will get the Crystal when they get rid of the stupid battery

[@SweViver]

I would say battery is a dealbreaker, especially since it can run for 4-6 hours straight here depending on what you do. But sure its a downside for some ppl

[@tuxcaster4238]

VR is not cinema if the FOV is 105 degree (tunelling). The pimax crystal fov is 105/110 like quest 3.

[@ashleerandall4881]

👍 'Promosm'

[@jorisbonson386]

The Crystal's absurd bulk and lack of natively supported lighthouse tracking alone make it NOT next gen IMO.

[@JoTokutora]

This channel really died

[@b.s.7693]

?!

[@SweViver]

I have a kid, soon two kids and work fulltime for Pimax. Cant keep up in that pace of pumping video like before, and there are many videos I cant make for obvious reasons. The videos I do now comes occasionally, topics based of what Im doing and working with, just to kind of keep the channel somewhat alive. Life is life man.

[@JoTokutora]

@er I know, we knew this was going to happen when you started working for Pimax. Best wishes

[@Waysif]

getting a crystal as soon as my bank app comes back online hopefully tomorrow man i cant wait to play snowrunner in vr and watch movies and maybe some educational content too idk
