fiddlinjim Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Here is a you tube video showing a side by side through the lens comparison of the Pimax 8KX vs HP Reverb. The users rig looks to be a top of the line which is required to achieve the performance level shown. I realize these things have to be viewed with bit of skepticism as they are too often slewed in one direction or another, however if the PIMAX 8KX is in reality as good as the video shows and then combined with the PIMAX large FOV then it is the best available.
dburne Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Just a side-note fwiw, Sweviver is employed by Pimax.

apollon01 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 Or from someone independent. MRTV perhaps? A feedback from Fenris would also be appreciated if he gets a chance to try both in MRTV Experience ? 1
SCG_motoadve Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 With my Pimaxx customer experience of lies and delays, when I ordered mine, which they sent the headset only as soon as I canceled my order, they never replied e mails, and to get a refund I had to do a claim via PayPal to get my money back. I am not buying Pimaxx ever!
Lensman1945 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 What a load of biased tosh! My poor little Rift S looks way sharper and detailed than the Reverb views shown in that video.
jarg1 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I would happily replace my Reverb with something better, but I remain convinced that the Reverb is the best that current GPUs can handle. Also, the Reverb images in the video seem to be blurrier than what I see on mine.
Urra Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 My reverb is sharper than what i see there. It has a small sweet spot, but I don't see any sweet spot in that vid.
AKA_Big10 Posted October 10, 2019 Posted October 10, 2019 I think that video is way to skewed to favor pimaxx. Judging by the YT comments and here, I don't think I am too far off.

He failed to disclose a bunch of the problems with his early Reverb review unit, for example. At the end of the day I think you have to try the headsets to be really sure. That said, Pimax 8K+ does seem like it has impressive specs, and the software is getting better over time.
Voyager Posted October 11, 2019 Posted October 11, 2019 Is the 8KX the one that's running at the screen's native resolution, rather than up-scaling the way the 8K+ did?
