    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 Před 5 lety +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.

      @DeltaNovum Před 6 lety +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 Před 6 lety +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 Před 6 lety +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.

    Some more accurate info:
    - Won't run at 90hz, only around 85hz is confirmed
    - 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

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

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.

    @rharcus Před 6 lety +8

    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.

    Well, as flight sim guy (DCS, etc... ) this thing is huge in flight sim community with steam compatibility as with current gen VR you couldn't differentiate cockpit instruments or if that dot in distance is a tree or a tank :D, so I do not care about room scale, justgive me pixels and FOV and I am in! Actually own much older PIMAX 4k and it is better for me than Vive/Rift (owned Vive until returned and had experienced Rift at friend's house).
