Nice review @Shadowmask72
Can’t wait to read your 8k review when it arrives.

Pimax are still looking to get the M1 units out to testers in May with the latest lenses. Depending on their feedback we could see a production run in June.
Expect the worst hope for the best.

You mentioned sharper visuals in the headset, how are the optics like? God rays, lens bloom, chromatic aberration, distortion ... etc .... paint me a picture heh.

Yep it's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Not sure on the $399 USA price as you could possibly pick it up for less. In the UK it's cheaper than that and works out around £269 from Amazon. As mentioned in the review, for seated games like Elite D the 4K is superior visual quality to the Rift by quite some margin (even when factoring the brightness, ghosting and 60 hz issue). So I would suggest it would work as a complimentary bit of kit. Perhaps for those who already own another VR device that fulfills other needs like tracked controllers and roomscale.

I’m surprised you’d recommend it at all with the ghosting issue, especially at that price-point. With ghosting, low refresh rate, and no full motion tracking, wouldn't it make more sense to recommend someone spend the extra $50 for a Rift? This is assuming that a gaming experience is desired. But if someone wants to watch movies in VR, then it seems that they can save $150 and get a GO instead.
