Serious sources have never claimed that the sde is not present at the 8k, but rather smaller or different and depending on the color also different. What is decisive is that it is pleasingly low in both headsets compared to the competition. I stick with the 8k, because I put more emphasis on the 5 lux more brightness and the somewhat better black than on the hz and the text readability.

Yeah, the improved colors and contrast of the 8K makes me reconsider my plan to get the 5K+. I continue to waffle, but I’ll probably get the 5K+. I just wish that my choice was crystal clear.

Im backer 2500’s and 4500’s, was going to get both so I could easily make up my mind, but Im liking the 8k features over the 5K+ so probably going to sell a pledge…

The 8K is not a clear choice… just kidding 
You should do like myself buy another headset and wonder if you will keep it. It will completely get out of your mind this 5K+/8K choice thing

Disagree but my eyes have had the benefit being there.

My experience is that the 8k is not as hard on gpus. Based on recent r9 390, 980ti & 1060 6g tests on the 8k.
Serious folks if ppl want to discuss this more there is no harm in it. This is quite different than a pimax representative being constantly asked the same question answered over again.
It’s a big choice to make. With only receiving 1 makes it harder as one may wonder if the other choice would have been better.
@stixvr I would reccommend waiting & get both. With the ks rewards you will be able to sell one complete for better price & upgrade pc or use for other priorities.
I thought I posted a different take on a posted screenshot but some folks just want to complain.
Your probably right. I might just keep them both…
Thanks for the advice!!

Not sure if you are being sarcastic or not (due to eye roll emoji) 
If you are getting two headsets anyway, then why not get one of each and decide after trying them? There are still over a thousand backers after you, so you should be able to sell the one you don’t want before the preorders ship.

The emoji I was after should have been the “thinking” 
. I just want to make sure I can still get a decent price for the one I dont want to keep. I guess with the backer stretch goal accessories included I should still come out ok. Just hate losing money…

If you bought a pledge under the Pre Order price you should be good.
Plus there will be folks who missed the Pre Order & will want to jump the wait in line.

True, I’ll just hang on to it. Probably wouldnt forgive myself otherwise. Wondering if I should I get the 8K first or the 5K+ first.

One point is not discussed and that’s the time needed for the upscaling in 8K HMD.
For me this is an importand point even more than SDE as it would result in input lag. We know the performance is already on the edge. At the moment we see even a 2080ti is struggling e.g. with Assetto Corsa Competizione on med to high settings with a Vive or Rift so any additional time needed for the upscaleris for me a no go, as this results in additional input lag which would be a fixed lag.
You have to chose your poison, a diffusion filter will reduce definition vs the original, excellent up scaling will require information and introduce lag, direct 4K would need tremendous resource.
Even eye tracking could introduce some lag processing, on the 2D gaming scene people until recently choose speed vs resolution and were gaming in 1080P.
