    The term 4k itself is misleading. If they continued the same naming conventions as previous resolutions, it would be called 2160p. It's kinda infuriating.

    • @Rob165x
      @Rob165x 5 років тому +60

      Yeah 4K is actually over 8 million pixels, closer to 9m, so it's annoying they use it to mean Horizontal resolution, which I can see why they call it "8k" disregarding the vertical. But it's a very stupid naming scheme. 2K, or 1440p, shouldve been 4k and 4k shouldve been 8k. But marketing. HD is not even the right standard at 3840, 4K is by definition 4096.

    - The controllers have changed, now more like Valve Knuckles using capsense sensors, though not 100% locked down
    - Controllers now optional for backers to get thumbsticks and/or pads
    - The cooling fan module isn't only "trippy", it keeps you cool and helps to reduce motion sickness
    - Linus is spot on about oled vs lcd though lcd panels have had recent jumps in the tech making them a decent quality option for VR (maybe only option here as never seen a 4k OLED)
    - CLPL (screens) stands for 'Customized Low Persistence Liquid' display. This could just be a marketing term also, won't know until we see them

      @DeltaNovum 6 років тому +11

      Ok so for the people who do not understand. It has two 4K screens wich gives you a combined resolution of 8K. It renders 1440 PER screen which gives you a combined resolution of approx. 4K. So the 2 screens combined render at 4K upscaled to 8K. They sell true 8K headsets but almost noone would be able to run it without 2x 1080TI's. It's upscaled to 8K to so you have almost no screendoor effect! And with the added eye tracking, that's now freely added in the KS, it will hopefully be possible to do foveated rendering in the future.

    • @Aidiakapi
      @Aidiakapi 6 років тому +14

      Delta Novum No, 8K would be 4 (2^2, because 8/4 = 2 and it's in 2 dimensions) times a 4K screen. This would more accurately be called 2160p in 32:9 aspect ratio.
      The normal version is still upscaled from 1440p, though I don't know whether it's scaled from 16:9 or 32:9, but I sure as hell hope the latter.

    • @DeltaNovum
      @DeltaNovum 6 років тому +8

      I did some research and you are correct. It's very confusing with the naming conventions they use. For the people who want to know the difference in pixels. 8K= around 33M pixel, 4K= around 8,3M pixels. The Pimax 8k Renders around 7,4M pixels and it's output is around 16,6M pixels. So it renders at around 4K but the output is around half of that of 8K. Which to me is still very impressive.

      Nothing to do with amount of screens used since you can use multiple panels aligned seamlessly for display creation.

      Managing a business, he isn't just the host even then of course it's work? He comes into work puts himself infront of millions which is mentally draining, managing tons of employees, getting sponsors, writing scripts which he still does a lot of even now, making sure all the tech is working which there is always problems to be solved and people to be called and more stuff I don't even know about, he's the fucking boss, entire livelihoods are decided by how well he does his job, he has tons of employes. It just is work. so shitty to just say this ain't work man, just put some thought into it, on this day he didn't just come in play some VR then go home.

    I've been using a pimax 2k for a long time now, since shortly after they came out - and it's preferred for some games by far. For example Elite Dangerous, the difference in pixel density makes text readable and the game look so, so much better - it's virtually unplayable on my vive. It didn't support motion controls at the start, so I use a vive for games like superhot or others that require motion controls still, but the Pimax has been great for ED and I did deal with their customer support once, to which I mailed them the device and they mailed me back a new one right away - pretty awesome imo. I'm looking forward to their 8K release, but I'll probably buy the 5k model - glad they've pushed up the release date to nail down the few remaining bugs.

    MY 4K VR PIMAX HEADSET REVIEW:
    I have been using this set for around 1 and a half years. I can promise you, it doesn't disappoint. Movies and seated games are amazing in it. Gyro drift was initially a problem, but new software "completely" eradicates it. It used to be a bit dim, now there are brightness increase options and it works great there too. Sound is great. Now that nearly everything is near perfect, the only two downsides;
    Motion blur or ghosting if you will, is still there. (not so much as to lessen immersion though)
    No positional tracking.
    BUT,
    Add Nolo VR and you have a perfect vr for cheap (even after Nolo price addition) with only downside of small "blur trail"
    NOW FOR PIMAX 8K, THAT I DON'T HAVE:
    I am already sure that this set is an improvement over (Pimax 4k+Nolo) so the only two downsides I can think of,
    1) Blur Trail
    2) Nopes, although the VR may be 4k per eye, but due to BIG field of view, pixels per inch have got to be less, so basically the picture quality will be same as Pimax 4k.

    The correct unit to measure the resolution of the VR headgears is PPI. Eye has a PPI of around 2200. HTC vive pro, which is the best available on the market at this moment is 615. Google is working on a 1443 one.
