Pimax 4k experience

[frogger]

Hi all i just wanted to give my thoughts on the pimax 4k vr headset.

 

when i opened the pimax i was pretty happy with the design. very comfortable and light weight with good headphones.

 

i got it purely for flight sims but have used it for some other simple games.

 

in dcs world i find the higher resolution with no screen door effect really good. the tracking is fine but lacking 6dof is a down side to most people and ill admit while i dont normally fly with 6dof with trackir i found in vr i was trying to naturally look around things due to the 3d effect.

 

over all i was really happy with the pimax preformance , but something was bothering me since my first flight.

 

looking into the sky i noticed right away a small dot in my right eye. at first i thought it was a dead pixel so i contacted pimax to try to sort it out.

 

they requested a photo or video which i sent both to them. after a few days i contacted them again to ask for a status , they replied with they can not figure out if its a dead pixel or dust and to take more pictures and videos.

 

since that last message i have not been replied to.

 

i was pretty annoyed with the situation as if it was a dead pixel they would just ignore me untill i gave up or if it was dust they would ignore me untill i opened the headset to clean it myself and doing so void my warranty.

 

well they did end up winning as i opened the headset to find out for myself what it was.

 

turned out it was a spec of dust. and now since i opened the headset i have about 20 more specs of dust.

 

so in the end while i am happy with the headset in general i wouldn't recommend it at the current price point due to the headaches that are involved with their software and lack of support.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I didn't know about Pimax before and after reading your post I don't regret buying my rift despite its low res. At least they didn't ship it with dust inside :noexpression:
