Overview

This video provides a comprehensive guide to choosing the right Pimax Crystal Super VR headset module for different types of simulation enthusiasts. The speaker, Sebastian Ang, discusses the features and benefits of various modules, including the Micro OLED, 57 PPD, 50 PPD, and Ultra Wide modules, and offers recommendations based on whether the viewer is a flight simmer, a racing simmer, or a general VR user.

Key takeaways

• Pimax Crystal Super Recommendation: The Pimax Crystal Super is highly recommended for both flight and racing simmers due to its wide Field of View (FOV), high resolution, crisp display, and competitive price point.
• Module Options: The headset offers several interchangeable modules: Micro OLED (new, with 4K Sony panels and pancake lenses), 57 PPD (sharpest QLED, smaller FOV), 50 PPD (good balance of FOV and clarity), and Ultra Wide (nearly 140° horizontal FOV, sacrifices some binocular overlap).
• Micro OLED Module Superiority: The Micro OLED module is presented as the overall best option, offering superior sharpness, better colors, true blacks (unlike QLED's local dimming), and a larger FOV compared to the 57 PPD module. It's recommended for general VR users and flight simmers due to its photorealistic visuals and lack of mura.
• Recommendations for Simmers:
  • Flight Simmers: Should opt for the Micro OLED module for its exceptional visuals, comparable to the popular Varjo Aero but with a wider FOV.
  • Racing Simmers: The Ultra Wide QLED module is recommended for its expansive FOV, allowing players to see more of their surroundings, which is crucial for competitive racing.
  • Both Flight and Racing Simmers: The "Golden Bundle" which includes both the Micro OLED and Ultra Wide modules, is suggested for the best of both worlds, though it comes at a higher price.
• Other Considerations: The 50 PPD QLED module is a good all-rounder for those who prioritize bright visuals and a balance of FOV and clarity, especially for games played in sunny environments. The 57 PPD module is generally not recommended due to the superior Micro OLED option.
