Johnny Dioxin Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 And I forgot to tell you this with new Vive pro and Oculus Go which will released in next 6 to 9 months which is just minor advance from first gen VR forget about it you will see somenthing really new gen2 VR from Valve and Oculusin next 2.5 or 3 years. Pimax is your only chance for really new experience in 2018. And be honest to your self how much did you know about this products before CES 2018? Nothing. This is just marketing and that have nothing with product quality, just showing better financial power and marketing experience nothing else related to product it self. So don't judge something just based on marketing. The thing is, for me, I'm not in any big rush. Would I like the higher res and FoV the Pimax should offer? Sure! But I am happy to wait until the tech is more sturdy and we can be more safe in the knowledge that it's a solid all-round product. Besides, I couldn't justify the outlay so soon after shelling out so much on Rift & Touch - including all the accessories for eyewear etc that can't be used on other devices. Next year or 2020 is another matter.

*Rage* Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 Im very interested in the Vive Pro. Its a shame theyve reused the same lenses because otherwise it looks like an extremely well polished package! Depending on price I may order the Vive Pro as well.

hansangb Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Come on guy you obviously forgot that Oculus until Facebook buying it even have much more problems than Pimax have right now. --snippage-- So don't judge something just based on marketing. I don't know. I backed DK1, and DK2. It was pretty straight forward. I don't think 8K is in trouble or anything, but there isn't as much confidence. Hell, I voted with my wallet and backed them. So I want them to succeed. And marketing is marketing. I don't get upset nor pay much attention to it. Their *job description* is to conflate things to make the company look better. hsb HW Spec in Spoiler --- i7-10700K Direct-To-Die/OC'ed to 5.1GHz, MSI Z490 MB, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, EVGA 2080 Ti FTW3, NVMe+SSD, Win 10 x64 Pro, MFG, Warthog, TM MFDs, Komodo Huey set, Rverbe G1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They admitted to bringing it to CES despite the fact they hadn't fully calibrated the new hardware. They obviously solved some of the issues at least partially. "After hardware and software fine tuning and all the issues resolved, we plan to ship limited number of testing units to selected backers, and may bring the units to more backers to test via roadshows. " Xunshu Wait for this before you get too concerned. This will be where the rubber meets the road.

pegon Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 The only concern i have is about the image quality. When you add more LED, the colors will look washed out. My Pimax 4k has this issue. Brainwarp makes the screen darker. I hope they manage to adjust the color gamut on the new displays better.

Brainwarp makes the screen darker. I hope they manage to adjust the color gamut on the new displays better. I will take Pimax's response to the issues at CES as valid. Based on everything I have voraciously read in following this tech, I don't see anything that won't be resolved in that regard. Take their statement "the benefit of the new design will reveal after fine tuning". I believe this to be very likely, but then I'm a glass half full kinda guy.

dogbite Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 What it looks like externally is right up there with what the guts of my computer look like through a windows all lit up. Not where I am looking so I could care less. Then my avatar is my actual face, so I am not stressing appearance so much anyway. lol I5 6600K @4.5, Gigabyte GA-Z170XP mobo, GMMAXX GTE Cooler, MSI GTX 1080 ti Gaming X gpu (factory OC), SoundBlaster X-F1 sound card, 16 gig Corsair Vengeance ddr4 ram @ 3200 , 3 ssd hds, EVGA 650 Gold Power supply, Saitek X52 Hotas and rudders, 2 AuraSound AST-2B-4 Pro Bass Shakers, Pimax 5K+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormeaten Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Are there any reports on how DCS behaves with the Pimax 8K at the CES? I just could find a Video in which you can see on a Monitor that DCS is running at the Pimax stand, but actualy no reports about it. I see it too but that was free public 1.5 version with free SU25 modul. Even I like Pimax8K and believe in this product and his advantages as future best thing for serious gaming like Flight sims have to admit Pimax don't have right person who will run this game in the way we could see details we all want to know. For proper test and review Pimax8K in DCS I think we have to wait to be done from someone who is using DCS in privat. Don't expect anything usable for us from CES 1018. But soon they will ship some prototypes to the chosen backers who will do soe final and proper testings before they make final version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
