Just received my Pimax Crystal yesterday and the image is ultra blurry with severe chromatic aberration. Almost as if I had left protective film on the lenses - but the unit did not come with any protective lens film (which is a first for any headset I have owned). Pimax support confirms I already have the glass lenses installed so perhaps I have a defective unit.
thanks for the video - sorry if i missed this but the 35ppd lenses are fitted right? then the 42ppd lenses are included extra as per item 6. additional set of replacement lenses. ?
You're very welcome. Right now, you get the 35ppd glass lenses. Pimax is working on wide FoV lenses and also higher ppd lenses. As far as I know, all the buyers will get the extra set of glasses, but I don't work for Pimax, this is just what I heard
Mine just shipped today and its being send with Glass lenses. I'm just happy I will likely get the best experience we're supposed to get with the glass.
@@martinmccloskey4206 I like the G2 very much, and even 2023, the G2 is absolutely fine. Psvr2 is a double-edged sword, display is great and Oled is a game changer. But mura and the lack of power because of the ps5 are a downside. But don't get me wrong, the psvr2 is a very good piece of hardware and a blessing for the hole vr industry. The crystal beats all of the Hmd mentioned, even with plastic lenses, the experience is mind blowing. But I wouldn't buy the crystal if you don't own a 4090. Otherwise you will not get the full potential. So long story short, the crystal is the best you can get, and by that I mean, it is actually available and you can have a wonderful time. Please note, that this is my personal opinion and I think it counts, because I have most of Hmd like Aero, quest, Pico, Vive Pro 2 and so on.
@@bogodoyandex9654 First Time I´m hearing this. I cant confirm, in my opinion, controllers are the same as quest or G2. But as soon as LH is available, I will get it.
Good video. I am also big into VR owned many headsets since I started back in 2014 with the DK2. Looking forward to some game play and more Crystal vids. Subbed. PS. MRTV has tested the headset with a 3080 and has shown alot of game play.
I'm getting a slight blurriness on the inner part of the right lens and it's distracting. I know my IPD and played around with several measurements but it still remains. Do you have this issue?
That's not good, do you have the Glas lenses already? You should contact the support, there are many ways to correct the ipd with off set. That is one of the good things with Pimax Play.
@@liebesmaennchen I'm actually getting a replacement unit sent to me because I was also one of the ones who received the dreaded broken head strap piece. I wanted to make sure the blurriness wasn't a common issue before I end up getting another unit. I'm not sure if I have plastic or glass lenses but this shouldn't even be a question and shame on Pimax for sending some with plastic. I will say my experience with support has been responsive and helpful as opposed to their past history.
Yes, the release could have been better, but I think, in the end, they will deliver everything. Please let me know when you recive your new Hmd. The Glas lenses are on their way, will drop a video then.
@@liebesmaennchen Right now Pimax 8K X daily driver "Never any problems" , Quest 2, PSVR 2, PSVR, Oculus Go. Used to own DK2, (2014) then rift, rift s, Quest, Vive, Valve index, and Reverb G2. I will try to let you know once I get it and test it out.
Oh, so you are also insane :D My psychotherapist was funny, she said “Mister Roscher, you have a very rare case of HMDritis, no cure for that.” Also, never got any problems with 8KX and no big issuese with all the other, Rift CV1 with 3 Sensors was naughty :D usb disconnect, usb connect, disconnect, connect .....
Wie lang nachdem du final bestellt hast, hat es gedauert bis eine offizielle Bestätigung der Bestellung von Pimax kam oder du die Bestellung im Pimaxkonto gesehen hast? Ich durfte nun auch bestellen, Geld wurde überwiesen, aber im Konto sehe ich sie noch nicht und eine Mail seitens Pimax habe ich auch noch nicht erhalten.
Muss ich nachschauen, was ich bei der Hand habe, am 31.05 habe ich das FedEx Mail bekommen und die Brille war am 05.06. da. Also die Lieferung war nicht mal eine Woche.
hey. bist du immer noch zufrieden mit der crystal? ich werde sie heute mal installieren. bin gespannt. wie ist das mit den linsen? das gehst ich nicht ganz verstanden? sind da noch welche bei, außer die verbauten? gruß marcel
Servus Marcel. Ich bin mega zufrieden mit der Crystal. Die ersten Modell wurden mit Plastik Linsen ausgeliefert. Normal gibt es nur Glas Linsen, du wirst diese bestimmt haben und brauchst keine Linsen wechseln. Pimax arbeitet derzeit an wide FoV Linsen. Sobald ich diese bekomme, werde ich ein Video machen. Wenn du Fragen hast, kannst du mich gerne kontaktieren
@@liebesmaennchen ja bei mir sind auch die 35 er linsen verbaut. also mein ersteimdruck ist schon mal gut. ich komme ja von der aero. ich musste mich erstmal an das große fov gewöhnen. ich hab son bischen das gefühl als wenn sich meine augen in der ferne anstrengen müssen. das hatte ich bei der aero aber glaub ich auch. ich werd mal ne woche abwarten. ich muss auch sagen, so schwer ist die pimax gar nicht. ich hab mir noch das lighthousemodul bestellt. vielleicht hol ich mir auch noch das dünnere kabel. würd der akku, wenn ich die brille angeschlossen lasse über nacht, geladen?
@marcelgremmer974 Das Glasfaserkabel ist super, es ist nicht so steif wie bei der Aero. Ich selbst habe auch die Aero, aber diese nutzte ich keine 10h da das FoV eine Frechheit ist. Wenn die wide FoV Linsen kommen, dann wird das Sichtfeld noch besser bei der Crystal. Anstrengende Augen habe ich nicht, eventuell brauchst du Einsatzlinsen. Das LH Modul ist super, außer man spielt nur seated VR, dann kann man sich den Spaß sparen. Der Akku wird ständig über den USB Hub geladen, ich habe die Crystal seit Tag 1 und hatte noch nie einen leeren Akku. Es gibt einige User, die sich sehr über den Akku aufregen, komischerweise ist das bei einem Quest Pro oder Pico in Ordnung, bei der Crystal nicht. Auch die Tatsache, dass der Akku bei der Crystal on the fly gewechselt werden kann, lassen viele aus der Gleichung raus. Pimax hat im Moment die Nase vorn, hoffentlich kommt bald Konkurrenz.
@@liebesmaennchen einsatzlinsen? ich habe bei der aero linsen mit stärke von vr optiker drauf. meins du das mit einsatzlinsen. für die pimax gibt es die noch nicht. deswegen spiele ich mit kontaktlinsen. vielleicht liegt es daran. aber es wird sich einstellen. ja, wenn es die größeren linsen gibt, werd ich mir die auch besorgen. hoffentlich gibt es keine bildeinbußen dabei.
@marcelgremmer974 ja genau, mein Handy hat auto korrigiert, ich meine die Einlege Linsen. Doch, es gibt bereits welche von HonsVr und die Rückmeldung sind durchwegs positiv.
how would you choose between Crystal and 8kX? is the much smaller FOV on Crystal a deal breaker for SimRacing? How is it the FOV compare to 8KX? I'm currently using 5k+. thanks!
Brilliant question, I will try the FoV of the 8KX and than from Crystal. Video should be done quite fast. And by the way, is this a chicken in your profile?!
@@liebesmaennchen would be really interesting to see if the loss of FOV take you out of the immersion in sim racing and if the increase of clarity compensate for it
Hi! Better colors, FoV, Sound, local dimming is great, , also sweetspot is nice. Picture is very clear and sharp, even when you look around. That was the most disappointing thing of the aero, the motion blur when you look around, also the redshift and I got many dead pixels. I recommend the crystal over the aero, it is also way cheaper, the build quality of the aero is better, but I still got my 8KX and it is like new, so the quality is fine.
What pre-order number did you get, or the date you submitted the pre-order? I submitted mine on Nov 10 2022. I just got an email from Pimax allowing me to order mine, how long did it take from when you got your order in tell they shipped it? Thanks for your first review video. Good to see what's coming in the box.
@@JustEdit I never tried VR Chat, but maybe, Kari Fuchs is going to help me. Meanwhile I´m testing the crystal with 3080, 3090 & 3080 Mobile, Video is coming soon.
:D maybe, but I have to say, we nearly got every common HMD in the office. Their all great, and all of them having their quirks and features :) Everyone should use VR, that's all that matters. Even the old CV1 is better than no VR
