I get these rarely on my 8K. It’s some sort of video glitch. For me, rebooting the headset usually fixes it. It might be a bad cable. When I got a replacement cable from Pimax (for video “snow”), this issue was greatly improved.

i have changed the cable its not the problem,also its only in the right eye

For me, it varied. I saw it on either or both panels. It might be a bad connection inside the headset (or some other hardware issue).

I was sent a replacement loaner 8K headset from Pimax swiftly in January 2019 (Pimax employee called Dallas) with a similar visual defect to yours, so Pimax can and do offer good support also.

You can verify my claim as authentic if you look up my old posts regarding this.

You may have missed the OPs original point. He’s posting about an Index hardware issue on a Pimax forum so either

  1. He’s trying to prove that Index are prone to the same issues that Pimax can have.(Like you I had the rainbow stripe issue, it was the cable and Pimax sent me a new one without any delay)
  2. He’s trying to make a point that Valve’s support is so much better than Pimax. (They are a multi-billion $ company so I would hope their support was good)

those are the only reason I can think of. I actually doubt he cares about our advise and solutions.
