I was talking about a new lens iteration, ensuring strict QA and review on panel and lens placement, and a depth adjustment dial. Not providing eyetracking to every backer for free which would cost up to 2.4 million dollars (8000 x $300)
A new lens revision and a different lens holder mould which allows for depth adjustment with a new dial has to do with changing the plastics slightly and is no where near the realms of cost required to develop a technology like eyetracking. Those two things would cost 1/10th of the price or 100-200k total at most, and they really shouldnât take more than a couple months to research, develop and produce.
Meaning an LCD (not made by samsung) with a pentile like matrix is called something else. The samsung displays also have a special driver board that helps with subpixel rendering compatibility.
Simply saying RGB is not saying RGB Full either. Answer remains vague & simply not really answered.
A rough comparison: PenTile looks one step worse in resolution ( About: 4K PenTile = 2560x1440 RGB)
Show me the one who came up with shove this PenTile in 8K
The problem is it is true the 8k does not use PenTile displays as Samsung didnât supply the displays. So the 4k Panel could be named RGB Bork & still be called RGB.
Much like MacDonalds Hamburgers are made with a 100% beef but nowhere does it say itâs only made of 100% beef.
Simple truth the clarity of the question was not understood & the clarity of the answer. Clarified nothing save some thought it meant what they thought it did.
Only the Engadget article specifically made claims from an unnamed source in pimax that they were going full rgb striped. And well they did in the 5k+.
Anyway, you will not dispute that making 2 headsets with almost the same SDE is at least stupid?
Therefore, show me the one who did this (put PenTile in 8K)
It is interesting to see who made us suffer now with such an 8K with wrong panels
In that case, releasing 8K with such panels was pointlessâŚ
(It seems that this was done only to feed the thirsty backers with a headset with meaningless panels)
@Heliosurge, well, you yourself understand everything perfectly, in fact, I believe
Itâs just that this whole situation with 8K + (which og 8K should have been) is annoying for many.
I remember back then we asked them that maybe there will soon be an updated 8K with real RGB panels soon, but they didnât say anything by sending us such 8K.
As SweViver said, Pimax already apologized for it.
But, they donât need to apologize for mistakes, they need to be corrected, especially when there is such an opportunity (there are the right panels).
Annoyed is an understatement here. Iâm pissed. I wait for a year and a half to get my headset thatâs less than what they promised and then 6 months later they release exactly what the headset should have been.
I fully understand what youâre saying. But when they call us enthusiasts its expected that all statements made by them with technical information is using the most accurate wording. In this case RGB being plain old RGB. Its not a vague answer its a crystal clear one made during the KS
Yeah I know itâs yet another chinese holiday. And because they arenât going to be here doing damage control. Itâs going to turn into a dumpster fire like CNY.
