So far there is only one refresh rate option: 75Hz
Could test again in upscale mode (110+Hz) but it looked same for me at the time I did a quick test with FO4VR

it’s not just about FOV. It is often the case that someone asks “could it be?” and 5 minutes later it says “pimax, explain why this is so?!?”.
I don’t know that from any other forum.
Due to old mistakes, some seem to be paranoid here.
Please continue, but do not be surprised if there is no longer a guarantee as the manufacturer is defective due to words.

There have been issues, like the clandestine screen exchange on the 4K, or if you wish to add it to the list, the use of Pentile instead of full RGB stripe which I guess some Pimax clerk had confirmed during the campaign sign-up phase…
Such issues can feed some paranoia I guess. Count me in the group who are paranoid when it comes to promises of delivery “within x days” with repeated no shows (by the way, what’s the status of the Index controller / base station deliveries - still so many undelivered while a certain Pimax official blasted me for daring to question their ability to perform their obligations a couple of months ago ?!)
But in this case there wasn’t even a storm in a tea cup - it had already pretty much settled again…

something called “subtile marketing”. You go into the Mercedes Club and say, “Hey, my spare tire is broken, I wouldn’t buy a Mercedes … but hey, the Ford looks good too, for half price.”
For a week … but yes, it’s better because the Ford doesn’t have a spare wheel at all.

Haha, cancel culture. 
I don’t want to discuss the actual mistakes here, but I don’t think Pimax intended that Valve didn’t want to supply them. Btw, Valve has had supply bottlenecks for months. maybe because pimax bought the remaining stock. 
Dear all,
I am glad that I could spark a good discussion here! 
All FOV readings are based on my subjective impressions until where I could actually still clearly recognize and make use of (that part is important) the virtual images rendered. This comparison is based on what I actually see in the headset and not what is rendered. The Pimax 8KX did render until 160° in “Large” mode but due to extreme curvature, bluriness and distortions in that area, I personally do not count it as usable. If the lens did not have this extreme curvature and at 160° the bar would be perfectly clear to see (like for example the Rift S bar at 86°…) that would be a totally different story. I do understand that this is very subjective, so therefore in the video at the very beginning I am saying that all these measurements are true for me and my perceptions.
Actually, I think out of this discussion something positive will emerge: next time when we talk about the FOVs, we can really think about: until where can you ACTUALLY use it, until where does it make sense?
I have added this clarification also into the video description and wherever I posted this in text version. And I made a short video for you to see what I see: Large FOV 8KX. - YouTube
Bye, Sebastian

That is plainly the most ignorant excuse i have ever read. instead of confess the errors in testing you now state that it is a personal approach that you feel that fov is useless? What about the blurriness of the G1 FOV? i have no words. your reputation simply is not getting better if you always find “excuses”.
tested right now my 5k+ 202 Series:
158/160 hor, 124/126 ver @large 110Hz

If you going to compare cars you should compare cars targeting the same market. Ford and Mercedes are not in the same consumer space.
The spare wheel is not broken, it has too little air.
What’s the fuss , that’s a fair save lol
it doesn’t make much sense, how do you define useable FOV? In skyrim and other panoramic games and flight sims it’s beautifull and adds to the immersion in car sims it adds to the sense of speed with Pimax, would you define it as not usable?

And some manufactures only sell spare tire kits as a separate purchase.
Then he must compare the X with Xtal an VRone

And the pimax will loose.
A porsche can be compared to mercedes even though the mercedes is a bigger car
Just like the Index and g2 can be compared to the pimax headsets as they are meant to be premium products.
I’m trying to read the newspaper at 150 degrees. I see her, but I can’t decipher a word.

I will say i enjoy your channel and your personality and your ability to somehow get interesting discussions going but i would have to agree like so many others have suggested to you in this thread and others that they may be something wrong with your preproduction unit, software or computer issue along with the other possibility is not ideal face shape maybe only good for youtube channels as your viewers probably agree.
I can only say as a long time user of the Pimax 8k and now short time user of the Pimax Vision 8kX that i do not experience any serious issues with blurring fov distortion or wobble. Sure there can always be improvements.

No problem, the pimax costs less than half
By the way, Mercedes and Ford are not that far away in Germany. And my last two broken cars were called Benz. The Ford just lasted longer.
Hah, I should become a Foreseer.
My speculation was spot on
