Struggling with different Pimax models

[BluesRocket]

I'm relatively new to VR and have been gradually getting myself used to it on a Quest 3 as I begin to learn the F-16 and later the F-4. The resolution leaves something to be desired though although it's smooth at default settings (I haven't tweaked any of my hardware since I don't really understand the changes to make). Lower than expected resolution is a bit of a bummer.

Anyhow, after seeing videos of the high resolution seen in the Pimax models, I'm sold. For DCS, which of the current models would work best with my system (signature has the specs)? I appreciate any feedback.

Thanks!

Hi, every system from Pimax will be better, as long as it has local dimming and Eye Tracking. You can lower the resolution of the HS if needed, and you will always get a much better image the Q3 can handle too you. And with the 72 FPS mode and Eye Tracking, it will always run as smooth as the Quest 3.

The question is more like: "How much are you willing to pay for it?"

I'm waiting for my Crystal Super 50 PPD. Nearly 130° horizontal FoV. Can't wait for it. Better local dimming than my current Crystal, much brighter, better colors, smaller, less weight, without any battery, I am so excited.

Unless you are willing to buy used, there is no struggling with decisions. There is currently only ONE model for sale: Crystal Light. You can order the Crystal Super, but it has only just been released, and there is a year's worth of pre-orders ahead of you. You would be lucky to get one within a couple of months. All other models are out of stock, and have been for a while.

Pretty sure orders now will ship within a few months. 

For DCS I would def recommend the Super because it has eyetracking and you can make great use of Quad Views.

Shame Calvin doesn't have the same information, never mind certainty, he was unable to answer my question about when a December order might be shipped.

I wish there was a way to trial the Super. I really liked with the Crystal I could walk into a shop and try it for myself first before committing such a large sum of money.

My best guess would be June/July.
