How about comparing to Qled monitors? As they are likely atm the closest lcd to Oled Blacks quality.
Hey mirage are you still coming out with a video today?
If you count late tonight as today, possibly! Well, I guess that is something like what I was thinking when I committed to Tuesday.
All “The Good, The Bad, The Ugly” information has been recorded, and mostly stitched together already. All I need to do now is gather some screenshots of things like the Snellen visual acuity test for illustration, as well as some footage/commentary of a few more things, like the hard to read labels in the A10C in DCS World, or some brief HL Alyx impressions.
Unfortunately, it looks like this might indeed slip to tomorrow. Sorry again, but this turned out to be harder than I thought it would be.
@Heliosurge Qled monitors just have red pixels that look like red instead of orange. Just because the backlights use LEDs with narrow spectrum, instead of phosphors that rather evenly cover the entire visible spectrum. In any case, monitor to VR headset has never been a very good comparison to make.
Fairly recently, and at every CES, I have seen a bunch of the latest displays next to each other. There is no real difference in black levels until completely black images are shown. Like pitch dark flight sim. As I keep saying, that is a narrow use case.
I would be more worried about OLED degradation (if this is a thing for VR headsets) than black levels.
thats fine, im just happy to finally have a new opinion on the 8kX
I use 120Hz on serial 203.
At 110Hz I have severe flickering coloured dots. So I went back to 90Hz for no problems
Don’t worry about it. We’re Pimax backers. We are not strangers to delay.
Which is exactly what I was trying to avoid.
For what it’s worth though, I have found myself in the same position as Pimax with this video. All the resources are in place to do this, but I am in just a little over my head with the extent of the logistics.
Well core difference is your not jumping around avoiding finishing 1 project to complete new projects out of que.
In fairness, actually, I too have a ton of competing projects.
This will be released later tonight…
One thing that did not turn out as expected is some footage will be at low framerate, due to yet another problem with SteamVR.
Ah, sadly, this might not be released until tomorrow. All the footage has been gathered except HL Alyx (I am giving up on The Walking Dead for now). A bunch of SteamVR issues have slowed things down massively.
Also, one of my 2.0 Lighthouses seems not to work, and I am not seeing HL Alyx in my Steam library yet (and I have tried setting that unit to Channel 1).
EDIT:
Indeed, this will be posted tomorrow. For now, I am dropping extra footage for X-Plane11, HL Alyx,The Walking Dead, and possibly PavlovVR. SteamVR is just causing too many problems, from recording framerate issues, to just not having two working Lighthouse 2.0 units.
There is already enough footage on everything else to put the ~1.5hr video together. The more casual stuff can be put in a little later.
If your Index Controllers were bought through pimax you will need to contact steam support to get It.
Take your time. I only waited around 3 years for this. It’s not like there is a virus going around that might wipe out the population.
On a more serious note, I’m actually a bit excited to see it and I hope everyone here is staying safe.
You mean the headset.
No pressure mirage know you haven’t been working on your presentation for 3 years.

Nearly done! Stitching everything together now!
Great I am looking forward to your perspective of the 8kx .
There’s not a lot happening on planet earth this Easter .
‘Rendering’ the video now. Should be up within a couple hours if nothing is severely wrong.
Will post a new topic when ready.
