Difference between 50 ppd and 57 ppd

[Pteradon]

Years ago i had an Oculus Rift for flying in DCS, but real life had other plans.

At this moment i want to make the jump again to VR in DCS.

I have a couple of VR in my mind.

Somnium VR1, Big Screen Beyond 2 and the Pimax Crystal Super.

 

I noticed Pimax Crystal Super has 2 versions: 57 ppd and tge 50 ppd.

 

Both have a resolutions of 3840x3840x2 with refresh rate of 72 Hz / 90 Hz.

 

The only difference i found was the fov.

The 50 ppd has a fov of 135 degree and the 57 ppd has a fov of 120 degree.

Is the difference of 7 ppd noticable and worth of in- or decrease of fov?

You'd see no ppd difference but you would notice the FOV difference.

There are estimates that 60ppd is retina quality, so the closer you are to that, the better the resolution.  Even Pimax says this decision is up to the user what matters more 1) increased FOV or 2) near-retina-quality.  I went for the latter (57ppd) since XRNeckSafer/eye tracking will offset any loss of FOV, for the most part, but nothing offsets for a fixed lower resolution.  I used to have the HP Reverb G2, so basically more than doubling the PPD and adding FOV will help my VR experience.

It's really what you prioritize for your VR flying experience.
