But what about internals? There might very well be newer revisions of various chipsets and so on. Or other minor changes (lens calibration is a “newer” thing too). Firmware changes (this is where the distortion profiles live) which aren’t out yet.
Also, these were assembled by hand as far as I understood so minor changes during assembly could also be a thing.
Point is, none of us really know what they’ve been doing since those units were made… 
Well, I trust he’s using the proper settings in steamvr.vrsettings. He’s an enthusiast and no blind consumer after all.
By the way, 8KX has 22.6 pixels per degree, while G2 has 21.6 pixels per degree.
Both same pixel arrangement according to manufacturers. So it should be very hard to make out the difference, in that case the Reverb G2 might be at 8KX-level sharpness.
They re did the lenses and made a better strap with index sound.
did you take into account that pimax does not move the panels when adjusting ipd and looses about 1/4 to 1/3 of the panel (resolution)?
No. The lenses have not changed according to Kevin and Martin.
Are You just coming up with random stuff as You go? 
Difficult to say tbh. We have another user whom had similar issues using the 5k+ but has had a very good experience with the 8kX prototype. Hopefully his good fortune will also be shared by you.
It doesn’t lose 1/3rd of the panel.
Even the 2018 first 8K unit didn’t lose as much. That would be horizontally 850 rendered pixels per screen less on the 5K+/8K, and 1280 pixels less per screen (totaling to a loss of 2560 pixels) in the 8KX.
I know you got your hopes up that the 8KX sucks bad, but maybe you want to stop smoking too much, mate. 
Are we talking about the pImax 8k-X or the G2 here?
HP also tells me that the redesigned G2 lenses (yes, they’re fresnel) have improved resolving power compared to the G1, which further enhances clarity. You can think of this a bit like ‘sharpening’ the pixels that you’re seeing through the lens.
No I’m not. I did hear that valve was re-doing the lenses. 
I wish they would of made the FOV larger. love the HP pro!!
See Road to VR quoted article unless false your’re right! : new lenses for the G2
Aaahhh… 
Well, I thought @JFandL was talking about the 8KX (as I was) but now that You’re mentioning it, he probably wasn’t… 
We we’re discussing the differences between the pre-production 8KX unit that Sebastian has and the “final” 8KX.
Tis all good, yeah I was talking abut the new HPG2
The thing is probably good, but I can’t go back to binoculars.
I also love my LH tracking with my Index Controllers. And I’m certain that Eye-Tracking will be another top notch feature. Honestly, didn’t expect that thing.
All missing then is Wireless. That’ll be the crown of achievements. Are Pimax partnering up with a company that has this thing as one of their core competences, like HTC did with Intel?
I don’t care if it will be $300 or $400, as long as its quality is good. Similar to Vive Wireless, no image degradation.
Yes. Kevin has mentioned earlier that is was being developed by a partner. My guess was the guys behind the HTC module:
We will be without wires! 
Thanks to my Danish neighbor for that information!
Yeah… Soon-ish… 
It seems the DisplayLink XR can handle dual 4K panels (and that’s not a new product) so who knows what kind of stuff they’re hiding in their labs? 
In 2017 at CES we were pleased to showcase the industry’s first multi-platform, high resolution, low latency wireless display solution specifically targeted at the VR head mounted display market. Specific features of the DisplayLink solution are:
Supports up to 24 Gbps total video throughput via single or dual video ports. This includes current Gen 1 headsets (2160 x 1200) 90 fps as well as future 4K panels (3840x2160) and features high dynamic range (HDR) for Gen 2 and Gen 3 products
And if it’s not DisplayLink it’s probably a competitor with a will to do better than them… Win/win… 
Are you talking about the HP G2? The Optics and Display are different from the G1 according to articles. or you are referring to the 8kX?
@geoffvader was referring to the 8kX as the 5k+ was unusable for him. Though at the time of his loaner they didn’t have some of the equipment they obtained later so it is possible his 5k+ was not optimally calibrated.
Hey Cool @DrWilken included wireless power as well or was that you @JoCool
Ahhh damn I rellay have a beef with DisplayLink products hope it’s someone else 
Let’s pray the QC of the X is actually good. Cause I had issues with my 5K+
