just to let you know, the Samsung Odyssey+ has arrived at the MRTV headquarters. What does that mean? Of course, an in-depth review and interesting comparisons with the Pimax headsets.
tracking. i just received my odyssey plus, and my hmd losing tracking completely when i get within a foot of 2 of my walls. it doesn’t snap back instantaneously either, even with my controllers in front of me.
what the others have said, +moire? aliasing? distortion? (i noticed an ever so slight warping on the edges, at least in the cliffhouse.)
It’s the same as the original Odyssey which is at least more than the rift. It’s certainly less jarring to go from the pimax to the odyssey in terms of FOV loss than it is for me to go from the pimax to the rift.
The pimax still wins against the original odyssey. I’m interested to try out the Odyssey + whenever I get it and see how that compares. I ordered it last week but it still hasn’t shipped yet.
I will say, pimax really needs to come out with the upgraded strap soon. I will still use the rift and odyssey for some action games just because the pimax is really uncomfortable for me on those games.
After reading the odyssey reviews I can understand why Pimax has not released the strap yet. If they go and ship somthing like the odyssey it will ruin the product
I can settle this right now! If you have the Pimax 4K you wont be happy with the Odyssey+. I returned my Ody + and will be sticking with my Pimax 4K until a the Pimax 8K or 5K+ comes my way.
i just can’t believe that they released a second version of this headset and didn’t change the number one thing people complained about: the comfort and adjust-ability. the display cant be tilted at all, the only way to have the screen close to your face is to place it in a way that gets urgently uncomfortable after an hour or so. if you dont do that, the display sticks out a couple of inches off of your face, further than the rift letting in tons of light, and the sweet spot looks tiny. i’m sending mine back. it’s janky af. maybe sim enthusiasts and seated gamers will appreciate it
I got one and returned it 3 days later. The SDE was greatly reduced but at the expense of losing definition. The “user perceived resolution” claim is just BS in my opinion. The Oculus Go still looks as higher resolution to me. The Odyssey+ is a bit more comfortable than the previous version but it is still really bad in that sense.
