You are right. Noticed the affiliated link too… so he’s getting money for every sale he generates. That’ll be hard to pick and twirl apart with the unbiased claim… well, I’m not going to dig into that. Everyone needs food, Martin went to join Team Pimax as well.
All unlike the slap chop! Stop having a boring salad, stop having a boring life! Enjoy slapping the chop out of your tuna and make America skinny again 
You do know several Youtubers have also had affiliate links from pimax and others. It is quite common practice.
Affiliate links are very common throughout and not a reflection of bias. The affiliate links are disclosed and transparent. I’m more concerned about tech tubers who will take money for ad space on poorly performing products. GamersNexus, widely considered the least biased PC related reviewer out there has a strict policy of not doing ads for a product if the product is actually in the content piece and not doing ads for products they haven’t tested and recommended or use personally.
Them having affiliate links for the content on display doesn’t change their review as they have brutalized poorly performing products and outright recommended not buying it.
Road to VR has also given an excellent image quality appreciation in the “hands on preview” for the G2 it’s not only Sebastien…
Need to order a slap chop NOW
So why would Sebastian make a small profit from affiliate link in the short term to get called out forever in the long term?
I trust what he says about the 8kx because he lenses are identical to the 5k+. And I trust what he says about the G2 because why would HP release a headset that doesn’t improve on the G1?
I’m not buying either because the Index for me is still the best all round package you can buy. But if Index+ came along that wound get me to put my hands in my pocket once more.
I’m not going to dig into that or approve or disapprove of it. People have just mentioned this is the case, it’s sharing information.
Everyone must make of it what he thinks by himself. 
I’m seeing that HP itself said that the FOV of the two Reverbs models was the same, they said it in an interview with Road To VR.
HP says Reverb G2 maintains the same 114-degree field of view as the original Reverb (which we’ve found to be comparable in FOV to Oculus’ headsets).
Maybe your prototipe es better than the final product? They already said it had a higher brightness, didn’t they?
They also said that the FOV was the same only if you have the optimal IPD for the original reverb. If you have a wider IPD than it was originally designed for, you would see a smaller FOV, which is probably the case for Sebastian. I’m not expecting any increase in FOV for me, since I have a small IPD and the original Reverb already is bigger than Rift CV1/S, which Sebastian said for him it was lower than those.
Yes, this will work and it is currently the best option price wise for a dongle.
I too was worried about incompatibility with these things… but after understanding the hardware, even if all manufacturers stop making these dongles I’ll start doing it. The firmware is open source and there are like 10 passive components, very very simple dongle. the NRF chip does all the work.
I think he has 64 or maybe 65 of IPD, I don’t remember.
What I understood from the MRTV video was that the FoV on paper hasn’t changed but that the G1 had a lower FoV than on paper and that with G2 it now actually exactly is what HP claims it is.
Which is still first gen! 
Yeah that would explain it then. My IPD is 58mm so I’m definitely not expecting any higher FOV for G2 for me.
It’s more like 1st gen Vive instead of Rift though which isn’t so bad. I’ve always preferred clarity and lack of SDE to FOV though, which is why I liked Rift CV1 better than OG Vive, and why I prefer the G1 reverb to the Index and current Pimaxes. Hopefully the 8K X gives the best of both worlds but we shall see.
the old reverb was 114 degrees, the new one was much, much more 114 Degrees. xD

It does. 
Have you used the Reverb before? How does it compare to the 8K X in terms of clarity and SDE?
What other headsets do you own @mr.uu and how do you feel the 8k-X colors compare to them?
Never tried the HP reverb. With an ipd of 69.5mm a hardware ipd adjustment is a requirement for me. I bought almost all headsets but ones without hardware ipd adj.
