As far as noticed, at least PiTool .086 doesn’t work properly with the individual colour correction: It doesn’t consider the colour-specific value additionally to the general all-channel-settings, but internally first reverts the all-channel-setting to “0” and then applies the colour-specific value.
Probably a bug, I cannot think this is intended on purpose.
Imho, the contrast and brightness slider GUI need an overhaul, i.e. all four sliders (all channels, blue, red, green) one below the other at the same time, so one can adjust them one by one, but having all of them in sight. Clicking “apply” then applies the setting as a whole at once without having to switch between the colour tabs and loosing context, both from user side as well from application side.
Just my two cents about it…
Good video. Btw I watch your content at 1.25x speed and really that makes it very fluid. Maybe record it normally and upload it at 1.25x default? See what type of feedback you get.
The G2 at 70% SS seems imperceptibly equal to 100% which is good news for many people. Not sure if you mentioned but did the edge distortion go up when you lowered the SS rate on the G2?
I noticed color bleeding on the Pimax also. Not sure if this due to the extra brightness or general design or being out of the sweet spot but in the motion part, you can easily see the colors bleeding into each other which would be distracting.
Panel to panel variances makes taking other people’s settings a pretty bad idea. You’d want a calibrated screen as as reference point and then make adjustments on your unit to match perceptually where possible. Without being able to connect any calibration tools to the unit you have no idea how making random changes is impacting the gamma curve, color accuracy, saturation levels and so on.
Rule number one on telescopes - never shine light through the objective lens, if you do you will never be satisfied with the quality because of all the imperfections you will see. While in reality they have no perceptible impact on performance.
Wrong geometry is serious issue though, but that you should be able to determine by looking through it normally.
While true, it’s very easy to calibrate by eye imo, it’s just way harder with a vr headset. Phones are generally good reference, and our eyes know what white should look like. My dell 27217DGF came in with a bad color calibration/white point, but it was easy to set. Happened to be identical to the settings rtings used.
One thing is not clear. The guy complains about “imperfections” which looked like some kind of stains on the inside, but did not say if they actually caused any problem optically. Then he complained about the text being blurry (or very small area in focus), which, I believe, cannot be caused by those imperfections but something else.
So while I believe both experiences are authentic, I am not convinced that his conclusion about the relation of the two is correct.
My Quest 2 doesn’t seem to have those lense flaws after I shined my phone’s flashlight on them. Picture quality is very nice. G2 is still quite better. Will be making a review soon!
