    Customers are mixed about the resolution of the virtual reality headset. Some mention that it has a great resolution and the Pixel Density is quite good, while others say that it needs a lot of GPU power to work well. The FOV is nice, but the resolution was spread over the larger area, not making any improvement on the clarity. Some say that the headset had 1 dead pixel.

    "...and if you plan on running games in large FOV you have to render extremely high resolutions, so you'll need a pretty powerful rig to make the most..." Read more

    "The field of view and high resolution make for a great experience, however, it feels like a device still in the development phase and has many..." Read more

    Very powerful but not for the faint of heart

    Very powerful but not for the faint of heart
    I have always been enamored with flight sims even as a kid. I had dreams of one day earning my wings and becoming a pilot but as luck would have it, life tends to happen. So fast forward to the present time. I had come across some hyper realistic flight sim and I thought playing it in VR would be an absolute blast. Finally came across Pimax as it was being released. Took the plunge and got myself the 5K plus. I built a PC to specifically run flight sims in VR. VR in general puts a lot more stress on your rig. And this was no exception. If your not a tinkerer or someone who wants a plug and play system, this is not for you. There are other options out there that will save you from long nights of pulling hair. I happen to like doing it so I didn't mind. I knew what I was getting into knowing the final results, once everything is dialed in, would be worth all the headache and heartache. I'm sure a lot of people are wondering about the SDE (screen door effect) on this model.... I'm glad to say that it's not an issue at all! It's there, but if you don't look for it, you can't even see it. The FOV on this thing is downright amazing. It really immerses you into a different world. I'm not going into the settings but you can change the FOV to whatever suits you.Now onto the few things I didn't like about the 5K plus. It shipped with some flimsy headstraps that were utterly uncomfortable. I had to purchase a Vive Deluxe Audio Strap and a DAS adapter to get it to fit into the headset. The result was a very comfortable headset I can use for hours without feeling fatigued. Another thing I didn't like was that you can't wear your glasses when you put this thing on because the fresnel lens will sit very close to your face. Recently though, Pimax released a comfort kit that essentially will position the headset further back away from your face and will be more comfortable to wear. I ordered a comfort kit and I'm still awaiting for the shipment to come in. Also, the earlier versions of Pimax headsets are notorious for their VERY thin housing cracking. As a result, Pimax have taken care of this issue by coming out with better quality housing. For me, I'm one of the unfortunate ones that bought the earlier generation. I have yet to see any cracking but, then again, I have only started using it two weeks ago. Pimax has some protective cover to maybe help out early adopters. I'm still waiting for mine to come in. Pimax had sent me an email and said they will send one out for me as a Christmas present. Still waiting on that.Everything else considered, this thing is awesome! It's very temperamental but if you're patient enough, it'll reward you with some fantastic visual. I will be getting the new 8K X once it becomes available and use this unit as backup or get my son into flight sims

    4.0 out of 5 stars Wide field of view, crisp text, great software customization
    Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2019
    The headset itself is superior to any headset on the market, GIVEN these specific reasons: Field of view, clarity, and customization. I am a enthusiast and I want the best for a more immersive experience. Playing any competitive game in this HMD is basically cheating. Imagine playing a desktop game and the field of view is locked to 60 and resolution is 720p for everyone else. However when you play, you have 120 fov set and a res of 1080p. Your situational awareness is doubled, and your view distance is superior to everyone else. If you dont have steam VR equipment, this headset can also be used as a seated 3dof HMD. So if you are a racing/flight sim fan, I have no doubt in my mind that this HMD will enhance your experience.

    Now lets talk about the downsides; At this given moment, the headset has no full package to purchase. So if you don't currently own any steam VR equipment with a delux audio strap then you will have to buy them separately. At the time of this review, the delux audio straps are STUPID expensive right now. I bought mine previously for 75$ (ebay)but now they are double even triple the price. The current strap that comes with the headset is subpar. So given that information, if you have a steam VR setup with Vive/Valve equipment AND/OR a extra delux audio strap then I highly recommend this headset.
