Buying call

Buy the Crystal Super Micro-OLED only if you play dark-scene sims like Star Citizen, Elite Dangerous or night flights on a top-end PC, because Pimax pairs Sony 3840 x 3552 Micro-OLED panels per eye with a claimed 116-degree horizontal field of view, eye tracking for foveated rendering, inside-out tracking and controllers. It costs much more than the QLED Crystal Super, and if you already own a Crystal Super, Pimax sells the same Sony OLED optical engine on its own. Pimax doesn't publish a weight for this version, and it uses the Crystal Super body that PCGamesN weighed at 879 g with the QLED engine, so don't expect a light headset. Skip it if comfort matters more than contrast, since the Pimax Dream Air has the same 3840 x 3552 Micro-OLED resolution in a headset Pimax rates under 170 g.
