I am a long time and loyal Oculus Rift user but just watched the You-Tube reviews for the Pimax 8K and 5K+ and I am very impressed with their product.

The increased FOV and Clarity of the 5K+ using native resolution and the promise of an 8K-X also to use native resolution resulting in even greater clarity

than the 5K+ appears to be the  real deal second generation VR.     Oculus especially just appears to have given up the game on a Rift CV2.   

Granted there will  be some bumps and glitches along the way for Pimax but I will bide my time and when the 8K-X finally hits the market

I will be ready to buy and put my Rift on ebay at a bargain.

Or going for the StarVR to keep in your mind as an alternative choice.

The pimax should hopefully be under 1k, that starvr headset could be up to 5k.

I just watched a YouTube video on the new StarVR and their FOV was stated as phenomenal along with an automatic IPD measurement. 

However I was very-very surprised with the tester comments that resolution is no better than current VR units, i.e. Rift, Vive Pro and Samsung Odyssey.

Not sure I would pop for a new unit if clarity/resolution was no better than my Rift, I can easily set my personal IPD and while I would really like a larger FOV I would'nt pay a big premium just for it alone.

I think both, the Pimax 8k and the StarVR could be rather expensive, if being compaired to the Odyssey, I suspect more a less in the Vivo Pro price range. Read in an old one year article that the Pimax 5k should be €150,- cheaper, then the 8k. Lets hope they will release it also in Europe. 

 

BTW, There will also be an new Odyssey+ released at the end of this year, guess only in the USA.
