What details are available, if any? What will it look like? Will it have a wider FOV like Pimax mode?

If you are talking about viewing 2D videos on the Pimax 8k, there is no āmodeā, you run an app that creates a virtual theater; Big Screen is a SteamVR app commonly used for that, or Virtual Desktop and just playing a movie in your player of choice. In either case, it would be the same as normal Steam VR apps - they should just (in theory) support the wider FOV out of the box.
Personally, I donāt want extra FOV for a virtual theater screen, because that means there are parts of the screen you canāt see clearly - itād be like sitting in the front row at the theater. However, if the app actually placed you in a virtual theater with seats and stuff, that would be good for wide FOV to immerse you in the theater experience. Though Iām not sure if I would like that instead of just a screen hanging in blackness, for no distractions from the movie itself.

Arre you guys for real? Does no one here have experience with the 4K?? VIDEO MODE/EXTENDED MODE is where the headset is used as an extended monitor, an extension of the desktop in which you can view SBS content
No, few people here have the Pimax 4k, and Pimax has never announced, mentioned, or shown off any mode like you describe on the 8k. Theyāve only shown games (and Big Screen) running off of Steam VR.
Of course Pimax 8K would support Video mode; as extended monitor. I play with injectors (VORPX, Tridef, Reshade) with my Pimax 4K.
It should be no problem, you would have to manage 8K with the custom resolutionsā¦ I think 
From what ive been told, if you are watching 180 degree videos, you will have a good chance of seeing the black bars on the sides and probably up and down too even without moving your head,
Would probably be good to get an official correspondence from a developerā¦
Wat r yEU tolkin aboud
Can we get official confirmation of this, and ignore all of the morons in here
Why donāt you go ask Linusā¦

Yeah, and iāll tell him that douche from the Pimax forums sent me, heāll probably know who iām talking about straight up
And what exactly is the advantage of āvideo modeā compared to every video player out there like deo or steamvr mediaplayer? This makes no sense to meā¦
Why donāt you simply send an email to the Pimax support ? I really donāt understand why.
Instead of asking morons like us, you should go directly to official emails, send PM to official guys here in the forum or whatever anything else but opening a public topic only to make us all morons.
I have no doubt you told your boyfriend about me.
Closing topic as this is not relevant as there is no video mode in the 8k software as confirmed by @SweViver
