Digital Trends Pimax Crystal Review
Alan Truly from Digital Trends, one of the leading tech news websites with tens of millions of monthly readers, tested the Crystal:
"In many ways, it’s a throwback to an older era of VR headsets, requiring a powerful gaming PC to take full advantage of its capabilities. ~ This VR headset made me never want to go back to my Quest 2."
Grim Reapers Crystal review
This YouTube channel reviewed the Pimax Crystal in DCS: "The only word I can use when I first put the headset on is "Wow". I mean seriously, Wow. Almost like the first time I used VR, there's no way to describe how insanely good the visuals are compared to any other VR headset I've used before. It's sharp, super clear."

Dan Suzuki's Pimax Crystal review
This German simracing YouTuber reviewed the Pimax Crystal, and said: "With this visual quality. My issue with VR in the past is that it's the graphics didn't look as nice. But now with this resolution, everything is so crystal clear. Crystal clear.. get it? I would definitely switch to that."
GBATemp Crystal review
"Even in the SteamVR lobby, the sharpness of the image quality is apparent. It definitely delivers the crispest VR visuals I’ve experienced. The QLED display makes colors pop, details are highlighted on the native 2800*2800 resolution and, together with its high refresh rate, really add to the immersive experience."
User reviews
You'll find several user reviews online. Here's a user who received his Pimax Crystal, on Reddit mentions "Games like Jedi Fallen Order, Sackboy, Horizon Zero Dawn, Hogwarts Legacy, and the Resident Evil games look amazing and I finally don't feel like I'm losing out on detail compared to playing them on a 4k tv/monitor."
