First Impressions of the X from a person that doesn't care about color and doesn't see distortion from the 5K+

I’m not going to get into this but we all know everyone had a vastly different experience with Pimax and it ranges from person to person with a very high degree of variability.I mean my 5K+ headset came with dead pixels and misaligned left lens that kept lightbleeding.

I like brightness at -1 and contrast at +1, which is best imo for Elite D.

You mean something like this.

When looking at white screens on phones, tv’s, vr headset screens, i can see the colours of the pixels that make up the white (All 3 pixels are on equally).
Even when I cannot see any pixels themselves or any sde I can still see the colours.
Most of the time I forget about it & it doesn’t really bother me but white is the colour I see this the most on.
Is this the sort of thing you are talking about?

To be honest there needs to be a definition for it. I heard some people say it’s Mura. Maybe it’s Mura.

I think it’s closer to what

I don’t know the correct word for what I see mainly on white but to me white is colourful.
& sometimes patchy/dirty looking.
It’s like I see the fine misting/speckling of colours which make it up & it reminds me a bit of the rainbow effect of oil on water.
Except like a more subtle version of it.
I know its the pixels because if I concentrate, i can make out the red, green & blue

Yes that is exactly it. It is like someone put water on your screen with a ‘rainbow effect’. but on a microscopic level.

What you guys are describing sounds more like chromatic aberration

I thought chromatic aberration was more something you get on edges. I know when I see that it can be on other colours too

I’m bad with the whole terminology I do know that CA does exist on my 8KX though. If that is part of it I’m curious why no one else mentioned it. Maybe it’s because I stare at white screens to much typing stuff.

it can happen anywhere, its caused by the lense not focusing each colour to the same point, so the red green and blue are hitting slightly different focal points causing as you say a “rainbow” effect

with camera lenses it usually means an image is clear in the centre and gradually gets worse towards the edges, but with different types of lenses it can happen anywhere

it’ll be easier to spot the whiter the image is because there is more of the different colours being split to cause the rainbow effect

Ah ok.
I see it on all tv’s & phones too so it’s not just through lens for me.
I always see it but it doesn’t really bother me as I’m used to it.

Anyways there’s no need for speculation. When more people get their headsets I’m sure someone more knowledgeable with better eyesight can tell us more.

Can’t wait for next week.

So I just looked up chromatic aberration & it seems this is a lens problem so not what I see although has a similar effect.
I wonder if there is a correct term for being able to see the individual pixel colours in a colour.
Right now I’m sat across the room from a 4k oled & now im looking for it, whenever white comes on the screen i see a dull pearlescent sheen of colours on it.
I just thought this was normal & what everyone sees

Chromatic aberration append when the light pass thru a materiel not having the same refractive index (light bending property ) vs the length of the light wave (color). The result is that different colors will be on focus on different location in your eyes. So instead of been mixing in your brain the RGB pixels will be seen as RED, GREEN or BLUE pixel and you will see some kind of rainbow effect…

Even expensive lens as some Chromatic aberrations when the light is passing thru near the border of the lens. Because of the high power factor needed for VR those kind of lens are prone to such aberration and precise collimation and adjustment is required to minimize those effects

Yes I’ve read definitions from a few sites & when I’ve seen it in headsets, its mainly visible on edges of colours.

But if what I see is chromatic aberration then all phone screens, tv panel screens must also cause it for me as they pass through the coating of the screen.
It’s like generic said, for me white is the one colour I can always tell is not the same looking at on any digital screen compared to real life.

With whites the LCD panel bloom at full intensity maybe some layer of the LCD could cause this problem? If this is the case you should see the problem even in the center of the lens where normally chromatic aberration shouldn’t be visible

Yes i know its definitely the colours from the individual sub pixels I can see.
If I concentrate at a white screen image on any screen, i can pick out the red, green, blue.
But I can’t see the actual sub pixels, if you know what I mean.
Just the colours of them.

I think I’m just sensitive to the way rgb sub pixels make up white.
Like it’s more of a fake white
& it just comes across colourful to me.
Unlike in real life where white is just white.

Maybe you should wait for the RGB OLED pimax 16k-X then :wink:

Yes it’s uniform for me on all screens.
But I just thought this was normal & how Every one sees rgb made screen white.
