The $400 4K Virtual Reality PC Headset

40 Comments

1. A 4K visor for just $400? That's pretty cheap for that kind of visor with superior quality vision.

2. Looks like a wicked Oculus rift mods

3. What happens when you plug a standard HDMI signal into them? Meaning no computer to run special software. Why a Blu-ray player or old game console. What does that look like?

4. RIP Mac users. xD What about Linux? Is the Samsung Odyssey better then this headset?

5. The vive and rift are pretty much the same when it comes to experience. For large rooms, go with the vive. for small playing areas the rift. It took me sometime to find my perfect headset placement and supersampling setup. But having a over the top computer doesn't hurt either. With my sampling up to around 1.8 and using the new Dash interface. All is good in VR land. I'm excided about the new tech coming out that will help make this a better experience and all the different companies offering devices helps that big time..

6. I had HTC Vive, sold it on craigslist. VR currently is complete piece of annoying trash. When they make it wireless and deal with screendoor effect, it might be worth having. Now both HTC and Oculus are just pieces of garbage.

7. How about the tracking

8. What? The visuals on the 4k device are not as good as the basic Rift? Are you kidding me, orrrr?

9. so it's a 2k vr headset.

   it doesn't work that way. it's not a 4k headset because it has 2 2k screens in it.
   that's bullshit. and a marketing scam. pimax should be boycotted for it. people who buy it should get burned on the stake for allowing such a scam.
   fucking sick of this society. someone should start the nuclear holocaust

10. Can you use htc vive controllers and play htc vive games with the Pimax 4k?

11. I never knew vr existed untill today

12. 110 FOV? No thanks.

13. Those games in ps2 graphic…

14. POS bit of gear, totally worthless when compared to the VIVE and RIFT 🙂

15. Sounds like HTC bought your vote>

16. can i have the name of the intro song?

17. All these VR huge heavy head sets are old technology. These companies are just seeing how much money they can get for this Trash, While trying to drive up price. Check out Oleds. Paper thin film screens . http://www.charterworld.com/news/new-sony-flexible-oled-display-rollable-around-a-pencil-to-have-applications-in-the-superyacht-industry/oled-display

18. This guy thinks connecting a HEADSTRAP is BUILDING? You Damn Worthless Imbecile Moron! Companies like us creating complex multi-layered worlds for the things, THAT is BUILDING! I am SO Sick of sharing the planet with banal idiots. Dammit. "A KIT". Good fucking Christ…

19. https://www.clubtt.ca/collections/virtual-reality buy it here

20. Does the pimax look better than the other headsets?(htv and oculus)
    It is advertised as double the resolution of htc and oculus, but is it?
    why does no review talk about the resolution and how this display works.

21. YES WE CAN SEE YOUR HANDS MOVING and your mouth running without taking a breath. Do you sell white goods?

22. I have to disagree man them screens are krisp iv tried the viv and ocs and for real man the deep darks and smooth coloring is nice I have to say pimax looks amazing

23. its either VR to watch movies or i duct tape a 65 inch monitor to the ceiling above my bed.

24. Have now seen alot of videos where they praise this headset. Conclusion is that they all have to be sponsored. THE HEADSET IS CRAP. THE SOFTWARE IS CRAP. The product is totally useless. I have the Vive, but bought this for watching movies, because of the screendoor effect. It has less screendoor effect, but you cant move your head if you don't want the picture to be totally blurry. Don't waste your money on this crap..

25. just posted this on wfftech to show what a real review looks like.

26. this is stupid, 60hz and not really 4k, to be 4k each panel has to be 4k not half and half… thats not how it works

27. America = applying a headband makes it a kit. I swear half of the country would die off in a month if just the electricity goes out.

28. I'm sorry but having to put the strap on does not make it a kit.

29. My question is this, I'm thinking between oculus rift CV1 and this 4K one. Now can I play all the games with the pimax 4K that are made of the oculus rift?

30. So, you're saying that even though the pimax has higher resolution displays the image quality of the vive and rift is better ?

    I'm not interested in room positioning and all that useless crap, I would like to know if the pimax has better higher resolution quality, I'm planning to use a VR headset for sitting down style gaming.

31. I have both the vive and the rift. I like the rift better. The controllers are awesome, and the exclusives are amazing. The cross platform games like Raw Data and Arizona Sunshine also seem to play and look better on the rift. Both the rift and vive are great headsets though. I am now waiting for the 180 FOV headsets to come out like Starbreeze VR. 110 FOV makes you feel like you have swimming goggles on. Future is going to be amazing though!

32. I play much Hours in Vr and i had never sickness.

33. Thanx for info und for upload!:)

34. Can you discuss the differences between the Vive and the Pimax other than just saying Vive is better/looks better? In what way is vive better?

35. talked too little about what difference makes 4k

36. is it better than gear vr ?

37. HTC vive Bias.. This is clearly superior in image quality, you are making people confused.. stuff like 90hz/120hz are for monitors that turn that 120hz into 60hz when it goes into the 3d vision glasses… VR does not need to do that, so the
    panels can be 60hz each. 90hz are just a bonus, not required .

38. when you realize the video is 4k ://///

39. 60FPS, not good enough. Priorities are: 1)refresh rate 2)FOV 3)resolution
    You can't force a higher refresh rate, but you can force supersampling.

40. How VR movies in this compared to Gear VR?
