When is the Golden Era of PCVR?

The modern era of PCVR began with the 2016 release of Oculus Rift, significantly improving VR technology accessibility. This pioneer paved the way for industry advancements.

Following Oculus's success, tech giants entered the market. HTC Vive introduced room-scale VR, enhancing immersive experiences. Valve Index refined this concept with high-end hardware and innovative features. HP made its mark with the Reverb G2, balancing affordability and performance. Pimax pushed boundaries, delivering unmatched resolution and field of view for VR enthusiasts.

A pivotal moment was Meta's acquisition of Oculus in 2014, leading to the standalone Meta Quest series, bridging PCVR and mobile VR.

Yet, some said, the golden era of PCVR is gone.

The market is shrinking, and shifting towards the more accessible standalone VR systems.

The Giants are leaving. Varjo have exited the consumer market, and Windows Mixed Reality has ceased support for the Reverb G2.

Some said, the golden era is yet to come.

The development of powerful graphics cards like Nvidia's RTX5090, essential for realizing the full potential of PCVR is still ongoing, the technology's ultimate promise remains unfulfilled.

But we don't agree.

While the giants are leaving, new talents have emerged. Pimax released the groundbreaking Crystal in 2022, Bigscreen introduced Beyond in 2023, and Somnium unveiled the VR1 in early 2024. Pimax continued to innovate with the Crystal Light and Crystal Super. Together, we are forging a new era.

While the giants are leaving, the lovers remain steadfast. We see dedicated users of the Reverb G2 every day—flight simmers and sim racers with high expectations for resolution and immersion—eager to join the Pimax community. As they migrate to platforms like Pimax, they bring with them a wealth of knowledge and a fervent desire for excellence. In this way, the spirit of innovation and exploration lives on, showing that the golden era of PCVR is not a relic of the past, but a bright and promising present that we are all striving towards together.

The industry moves forward in unison. Headset manufacturers, graphics card developers, VR game creators, designers, and gamers all explore this new frontier together.

As long as our love for PCVR persists, it will never decline.

As long as our love for PCVR persists, this is the golden era.

Together, we venture forward.

Why Crystal Light is the PCVR You Should Get in 2024

Unparalleled Visual Quality

Crystal Light offers a superior visual experience. While the Reverb G2 boasts excellent visuals and the Quest 3 offers edge-to-edge clarity, Crystal Light combines the best of both worlds. Its sweet spot is larger than that of the G2, and its overall clarity surpasses that of the Quest 3, providing an unmatched visual experience.

Affordable Excellence

While there are many impressive headsets on the market, Crystal Light shines in its price range. It delivers exceptional value, making it a standout option for those seeking high-quality VR without breaking the bank.

Wide Game Compatibility

Crystal Light supports a vast library of PCVR games, allowing you to play all Steam VR titles and enjoy popular games like Microsoft Flight Simulator. Its broad compatibility ensures access to the latest and most exciting VR experiences.

"I've tested tens of VR headsets over the years and there has always been some sort of level of frustration... but Pimax genuinely knocked it out of the park with this one. I've had absolutely no issues, disconnections, artifacts, or reasons not to love this new headset."

"One of the things you'll notice in the Pimax Crystal Light right from the get-go is the incredible visuals and clarity of the display, including all the small writing, gauges, lights, absolutely everything. Truly is crystal clear."

"For its price point and what you get. It has the best resolution, the best coloring, the best displays of any other headset that is currently even remotely close within its price point."

"Holy crap, the Crystal Light looks good, I'm telling you. It just looks so good, and at the moment I have been using different VR headsets simply because that's what the channel's about. Oh, I can really feel already the wind forces as well on the yoke, fantastic."

"This is you’ve been waiting for. Before, the HP Reverb G2 has fantastic visuals and even now I think the visuals are still great in the HP Reverb G2. But they truly cannot compare with the visuals of the Crystal Light and that is truly where this headset shines. It is fantastic the best that I’ve seen on the market so far for customers."

"If I was in the market for a sub - $1,000 headset to upgrade for my G2 or my Q2 for that matter, would I buy this? From what I've seen so far, I think I probably would."

“It's a very solid headset for sim games. The picture clarity is pretty good and the local dimming helps with the blacks in some games. If you love VR sim games, this is a great purchase and a great replacement for the HP Reverb G2.”
