Willie Nelson Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) From what I can see it is in essence the same as a Reverb……maybe I’m missing something but it’s tethered, looking likely another 2160 x 2160 Frensnel lens setup with notionally the same FOV. Not knocking it but can’t we move past these specs by now……? I think the Pimax Crystal is the one to watch right now, just hoping my 3080ti and 12900KF can run it with Open Beta 2.8…….

Supmua Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 It looks to be a single panel headset with 3840x2160 total pixels rather than dual screen? Not really excited about fresnel lens either. What would make one choose this over the current popular headsets such as Reverb, Index or Quest 2. PC: 5800X3D/4090, 11700K/3090, 9900K/2080Ti.

MADLOU1 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Oh I see now on their website. The newest model is the E4 with a fov of 116 degrees. Still Meh. I want a Pimax with 200 FOV. Have to rob a bank first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dangerzone Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 What is this company like when it comes to after sales (and after warranty) support? Do they allow customers to buy replacement cables if needed and are good to deal with - or are you just another number beyond their responsibility? What has people's experience been with them?
