Pimax 5K Plus VR Headset Review: Immersive Resolution and Superwide FOV

Pimax 5K Plus VR Headset is a dream come true for most gamers and VR enthusiasts. It is a high-end PC VR headset that offers an unparalleled immersive experience like no other. With the Pimax 5K Plus, the virtual world feels more real and the FOV is the closest to human vision of any commercially available product.

VR Resolution Redefined

Dual Custom Low Persistence Liquid Crystal Panels, each with a stunning total resolution of 5120*1440, set a new standard in quality and immerses you like no other device before. The dreaded screen door effect or “SDE,” ghosting, and smear are virtually invisible with this VR headset. The colors are vibrant, the details are sharp, and the immersion is out of this world.

Superwide FOV

The 200° Diagonal FOV offered by the Pimax 5K Plus, the closest to human vision of any commercially available product, makes it easy to get lost in the virtual world and forget about the real one. Enemies who could run away from the corner of your vision can no longer escape you in VR games. The level of immersion provided by this VR headset is unmatched.

Strong Compatibility

Thanks to Pimax Compatibility Technology, the Pimax 5K+ supports most of the thousands of games available on both Steam and Oculus Home. It is compatible with other brand Steam Controllers and both the Steam VR Lighthouse 1.0 and 2.0 tracking technology. Even movies and internet video content are much more enjoyable when viewed through this VR headset.

More Comfortable

The Pimax 5K Plus is ergonomically designed with a face pad and strap that allow you to stay immersed in the virtual world for long periods of time comfortably. There is enough room for wearing most prescription glasses, and the physical hardware and software IPD adjustments help as well. The new design allows the widest variety of people to enjoy the stunning immersion you can achieve in virtual reality.

Recommended PC Specs

The Pimax 5K Plus is compatible with Windows 8.1, 10, and requires a GPU of GTX 1070 equivalent or better, a CPU of Intel i5-4590 equivalent or better, and 8GB or more RAM.
