New firmware with 120Hz mode for Pimax 5K+;
–True 120Hz refresh rate, works with small FOV.
Color selection for the front “chevron” light.
–Switch between 3 colors: Green, Blue, Aquamarine.
More colors will be added soon.
Improvements:
Physical resolution reduction
–The adaptive physical limitation of panel pixel area utilization when FOV is reduced. Approx 10% performance / framerate increase in VR.
Was back-light fixed, also what’s the point in reducing the resolution? If your computer is index compatible then you should be able to run it just fine. That shouldn’t be considered an improvement. I’m pretty sure most people would rather have resolution.
That’s pretty awesome. Too bad the FoV couldn’t be a little wider. :-\
Time for a 5k+120 that supports all the FoV’s?
And Pimax,
Have you been researching LCD’s that are better than the ones being used now?
And don’t forget the lenses! I know it can be expensive, but a better lens to eliminate the distortion on the edges can go a long way in making a better product.
As I understood it nothing is taken away. You still can choose between small, normal and large FoV. The new thing now is that you can select 120 Hz for small FoV.
I have the new version installed and working, successful firmware update and I can change chevron colors… but my refresh rates are still 64/72/90 with no 120hz option.
Do you have any troubleshooting steps for me to try?
It’s a big shame if the frame hang bug (introduced alongside attempts at higher graphics card utilisation) isn’t fixed. That locked me, and a decent subset of users, from using 180, for many months, and now would lock us out of 197 as well. Which for me also means no trackers
Can’t test atm away for work but hope that is an oversight and it does actually work now!
They are optimizing the pixels that have to be rendered, not removing what you actually see. If not familiar
search for @risa2000 post, he explained and visualized it very nicely.
