What is your opinion?, will be this the real substitute for the still unbeatable HP Reverb G2 in many aspects for flight simulators?

One thing is that it says that only has ¿¿90º+?? of FOV, what does it means that of "+", meanwhile HP G" has 98º..., that maybe it is a no purchase, minimum the same of HP G2 haha, I don´t want steps behind.

The nits concern me also.

Resolution it is ok for the hardware in the next 10 years, HP G2 has 4 years with lower resolution screens and still PC hardware can´t manage it well and its ""too much" resolution screens.

One is the Hertz, hope 60-75-90, I didn´t find the info, or customisable like monitors does?.

They will accept optical prescription magnetic inserts sure, they could offer it with the glasses like BigScreen does, in partnership with a VR well known specialised quality optician.

Other thing is that is Pimax and its infamous fame of bad aftersales support and qualities, and that they abandon their HMDs quickly, and Pimax needs to work with facts to solve that with customers.

The sound concerns me also, I hope a comfy good sound like the HP G2 minimum or better.

I am with this or the next Beyond (though don´t convince me the base stations needed and the big optional head-strap for a good sound or the big universal face gasket if I remember well), or the (rumours) next Valve this year.

But this HMD promise a lot, they could be the better for Flight Simulators.

Hahahah, maybe that writes one person that wrote that he would buy another HP G2 when his one got broken? hahahha, no worries if that person has changed his opinion hahaha. I respect that opinion and his new opinion and if they change the opinion, and his old opinion and my opinion.

In the Youtube commentaries I have read “Edit: 90° stereo overlap and maybe 105-108°FOV Dream air SE = BSB2 yes”.

And I read also that sound poor, they could add a bigger speaker inserted in that strap!!

And “You will be able to adjust the strength. And there will be alternative straps too”

“It is a PCVR, if you want a non PCVR there are many other models in the market, wait, yes, it is a standalone also if you connect it to a phone/laptop etc., all people happy, wise, the best of both worlds if you want. Now build and release the good quality VR HMD stated with good HMD hardware/software and customer support.” Hahaha, my commentary.
