    Are these improved from the pre production versions? The reviews on those weren't really great.

    The clarity of the crystal really is phenomenal, but I just can't go back to a sub 150 FOV after using my 5K+ for so long.
    I'll be getting a 8KX and eventually a 12K depending on how it reviews once they've solved any problems it will likely release with.
    Pimax really push the envelope, but they need to drive the cost down and start delivering products that work out of the box.

      @@Directx11cool 90% of my use is sim racing & the sense of speed and positional awareness from the increased FOV is just such a killer feature to me.
      I will say though the Fresnel lenses have their disadvantages. I don't care about the edge image distortion, but the god-ray effect gets annoying in some light conditions.
      Ultimately though, it's all still worth it to me to feel the track blasting by and being able to see out both my side windows.
      I just dread what GPU I'll need for a 12K whenever that actually happens. I'm going to grab a 4090 but I doubt that's going to be anywhere near enough, sims are poorly optomised.

    That was a wrong direction for Pimax after 8K&5K large FOV headsets! They had to stick with it buy streamlining the previous gen, but continue offering large FOV. But, seeing their business ethics and client service I am not suprised. No more Pimax for me at all, I learned my lesson!

      @@vracan i would argue that you were just lucky. There is a reason they give only 6mo or 1yr warranty for their products instead of full 2 years.
      I owned 5 of their HMD's. Almost each one had issues with displays (most common issue being one display going black after a while - and that's quite common if you check their forums).
      One HMD (I think it was Artisan) completely failed to boot.
      Plastic was so cheap that it often broke for no apparent reason.
      From one of the mosty expensive HMD on the market you expect top quality. Pimax does not deliver on anything except FOV.
      I ended up ditching 8KX in favor of Reverb G2 and I'm never coming back.
      BTW How is 12K that was supposed to be delivered ~3 years ago ;)))))?
