I think using the horizontal FOV and resolution is not a good way to compute PPD, as it requires to know the monocular horizontal FOV. Better use the vertical FOV, which is about the same for all headsets, and where there is no binocular overlap to take into account.
From that, you can deduce the Valve Index should have a slight be significant advantage in PPD over the 5k, about 11% higher.
It doesnāt matter in the end as I pointed out, as xtal has proved that even 2560x1440 over a similarly large fov as the pimax is negated by the lens, the lens can mean a whole lot in terms of panel utilization and how much it magnifies the pixels. We have to wait and see what the index lenses are like.

Picked up mine (with out lighthouses) if it I do not like it I could always sell it

What annoys me is that the price has increased by adding some stupid cameras and usb 3.0 slot they donāt even know what to use them for.

Headset price doesnāt seem unreasonable at all to me, its mostly controllers/lighthouses jacking up the price.
Also happy for cameras and spare usb for future use, even if it ends up leap motion module or something random.

Pimax 5k+ is around 14 pixels per degree inside 90Ā° FOV. See the link @peteo posted above.
Very interesting, but they do not say how much performance those applications would lose? Would parallel projections be needed now?
Wait. They talk about the lenses, not the displays.

Yeah it seems folks are confusing Canted lenses with meaning displays are canted.

Yes so Pimax is higher at 14 vs the valve 11
I donāt know; they talk about canted lenses. Maybe is not the same.

A very reasonable assumption to make. Got a magnifying glass? -Look at some sort of page through it, and turn it over 5 degrees. That thing you see there, when you do that, those Index lenses will (EDIT: ā¦otherwiseā¦) have to somehow have been designed to deal with.

Itās a compromise like any product you have some goals that you want to achieving and some that you can discard. It was impossible to keep the prices down and have so many features but it was possible to lower GPU requirement

Just realised that apart from the controllers costing Ā£259, the LH 2.0s are Ā£139 EACH 
Maybe itās better to live with one LH 1.0 instead. As LHs are sourced from Valve, I canāt see Pimax offering them for any less. If anything they could go up in price, they might need a bigger markup

Which Valve? OG Vive was around 11 (and Oculus around 13) if I remember correctly the doc-ok measurements. Vive Pro is supposed to be better, and I would expect the Index to be on par with the Vive Pro, plus not suffering from subpixel deficiency of the OLED pentile.
I believe that the official product page actually mentions both the lenses and the panels.
