I am getting it at backer price along with using my 100 USD voucher code i got from downgrading 8K to 5K+, so its 450 USD cheaper than anyone pre-ordering now.
ill probably give it a go when it arrives and compare the two itself.
the high price isn’t exactly pimax’s fault, £167 import tax and £35 shipping costs have to be payed on our end, valve could have also made a 2nd set of cheap controllers like touch for £100 instead of the £260 index controllers.
I did have the 5K+, i thought the resolution was good, i don’t see how the 8KX is going to be much better in my view, i can only see it being a minor upgrade.

I preordered in the U.K. and they took full payment within 24 hours. Must depend on your location.

Someone might have misled you on the differences between the two headsets?
5K+: 2560 x 1440 per eye. (5120 x 1440)
Total Pixels= 7,372,800.
8K-X: 3840 x 2160 per eye. (7680 x 2160)
Total Pixels = 16,588,800.
Unless I’m mistaken, this means 8K-X displays
more than double pixels than 5K+.
If correct, then that’s a big upgrade in visual clarity not a minor one, especially if the panel is superior in the 8K-X in other ways also.

yes but its the same lenses and the same panel type, its just an increase of resolution along with a reduction of Hz.
5k+ had good resolution anyway, increasing it is welcome but not that big a deal.
Reverb G2 is signaficantly better than G1 despite it being the same resolution.

as MicroM says, there is more to a headset than just the number of pixels, the 5K+ had its issues, the 8KX has the same issues but has more pixels, yes you can notice the “upgrade” but if you didn’t like the issues on the 5K+ then you are going to be in exactly the same place with the 8KX, just with a bit less SDE
The resolution difference vs a 5k+ is massive. The panel utilization is also much better and all but a person or two will tell you the profiles are also greatly improved. You also can’t see SDE on an X at all.
There are all sorts of other technical improvements such as dual audio jacks, much higher power audio capability and a much higher transfer rate through the usb port. It also requires no power supply (fully usb powered) and uses the RE series housing among many other things.

I’ve asked for g1 vs g2 through the lens but no one dare to show it, so that claim im going to to remain skeptical for now.

Is it me or they look pretty similar.
G1 has more alias and g2 has a more smooth out look.
Hard to say which retain more detail than the other.
I infer from the samsung gear mod on the cosmos that lens of the G1 are better. We see colors reflection on the hood of the car. If you look a the samsung gear mode on the comos we see the same kind of color amelioration
Could be a setting but would be a stranger coincidence
here :
if it’s not a parameter error it’s impressive to see so much improvement on color with a lens changer
Hum do no paid attention to much to this feature, the focus of the videos could be bad or different
Its looking to be a great hmd at the price level if not craving for extra fov, was telling my brother to pre order one but now we are in lockdown again in nz.
