I have the pimax 8kx also,it does have it but horizontal but its very very very hard to see almost none.. The vive pro 2 when i just got it doesnt had it otherwise i would have send it right back... But now when you move your head its way too much... almost low resolution.. It looks like a first gen headset with this problem! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a first gen headset with this problem! same when i got my vp2 for 2 weeks it didnt had it at all and now looks so pixelated only with movement,i opened a ticked and they proly want me to send it for repair but they will 99% send it back with the "its fine" code,did you send your vp2 to technical support?are your cables twisted?my cable is a little twisted.

cees Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Okay i returned mine today,let see how it goes.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gildahl Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Yup, I had this too. I'm quite sure it wasn't there when I first got the headset--and seemed to start happening either after an update or possibly after I had left the distribution box on overnight (prior to the email that said to make sure you turn off the box or something will happen you never know what!). It is quite noticeable and looks like vertical-only SDE. I returned my headset because of this and because I really didn't want to have to deal with a repair (which, from the comments, probably wouldn't have been acknowledged as an issue anyway). I'm actually wanting to eventually re-purchase since I really liked the headset otherwise, but really need to have HTC fix this first, and also address the need to manually turn off the distribution box, since there is no way I'm not going to forget to do this from time-to-time or possibly use it longer than whatever the magic time limit is. Hope there are no businesses using this thing for double-shifts. Edited July 20, 2021 by Gildahl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raging Beard Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I decided to buy the 8kx, very glad I did!!!! It's awesome, but the funny thing is I quickly noticed lines with movement in that too 😞 Well I contacted Pimax on Monday, they had a great email conversation with me, and now the lines are gone and it's perfect 🙂 I can't go in to how exactly, I was asked not to share how as I assume they will do a more proper version in time (plus you could mess up your HMD if you do wrong setting) but it was fast and effective. VIVE take note, that is how it's done. Honestly guys, ditch the Pro 2, I'm glad I had to send it back otherwise I would have missed out on the 8kx. Great headset, sure it's not perfect but I feel it's the best consumer HMD available, and I have first hand experience of tremendous customer support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
