If you have a 4k or others it’s usually the lens holder.

Please don’t think about my views and interpret, no need 
To be… clear I was expecting not much of Pimax 8k for many personal reasons.
I was plaisantly surprised by many aspect of it (Build quality, screens, gate, colors, luminosity), I was expecting a blur due to the undersampling, and no it was great on that front, FOV has that wow factor for sure.
I was not happy about the strap that hurts me (ears) and a few things in my “review”
The goal of that “review” was to get the attention of pimax, having a document as a reference for them to use, so see it as a feedback more than a critique.
As I am an early backer (134) many of my Dev friends were eager to ear my opinion on it, so instead of typing X time on Discord, Slack, skype, twitter DM and all the rest, I made ONE document hosted on my site.
I’ve been fighting and working for VR for now +6 years and will continue to contribute any way I can.
But not where the mainstream people can read things and give their opinion on suject they don’t understand. Lesson learned.
I am always ready for an open conversation and I wanted this “review” to be one. It generated some good ones, but always dominated by people who don’t know about you and try to explain you what you are and why “you can’t think that or write that”.
If you have question about VR in general or anythign related I am always open, always interested is growing together.

I enjoy reading technical reviews that explore positives and negatives, providing some context to each. The incongruity in this guys thought process is just mind boggling though.
It reminds me of reading movie reviews. For instance I saw a movie review on the Wrath of Khan many years ago. The guy gave TWOK a rating of 1 star out of 10. He said the movie was OK until the space battle scene between khan and kirk but you could see stars through the ships as if they were partially transparent in the scene and that broke his suspension of disbelief and movie was destroyed for him. About 50% of his review revolved around the flaw in that special effect.
I had a similar reaction to reading both reviews as it just made no sense to ignore all the good and place the weight largely on a single issue.
1 and 2: Pimax has already said they plan on offering those options
3: Pimax said they plan on doing color correction for the 5K+. I haven’t seen any posts verifying user adjustability.
4: They have a really bad track record for this going back to their earlier products (ie 4K). Usually the forum users would find the most stable release and stick with it until the next “stable” release. Just ask @Sjef about it. TLDR: everyone is on the beta release and you get to choose which version has the best good-to-bad ratio.
5: QA is a large part of the delays that everyone is complaining about right now (aka they are looking into it).

@Matthew.Xu did post in a reply to me that they are investigating color intensity adjustment and would get back to us on that. It was a couple of days ago so hopefully he updates us on that. Such an option would eliminate many complaints that revolve around color calibration. What would even be *better would be if they saved your brightness and color calibration on a per app basis along with other PiTool settings.

This is related to your reply telling that some things (aka a fix 150 FOV) are in the past and to late to change for Pimax. those 5 points are still in the “plan on offering stage” and still achievable by Pimax. Keeping the focus on this means keeping an open discussion here with Pimax to ensure an high probability of delivery of those 5 points.
Hi, It is a good suggestion.
we will develop the function of saving the individual setting for per game, brightness and color calibration will be taken into consideration.

I think this is wise. If individuals can share their game profiles you will be amazed how happy customers will be. As for brightness and color calibration if these are stored in a game profile common users will not be required to adjust these settings most of the time. Advanced users can make all these adjustments and make the profiles available for any user.
