Anti SDE would be really cool to get a good review on. The software driving the upscaler will be the key, I'd assume.

While I got a Lenovo and are happy with that I did try a Samsung Odyssey headset.
The colors was much better but some SDE and I found it uncomfortable due to the weight.
Think this is a good improvement.
And yes if this Anti-SDE works then that would be great as even RTX 2080ti struggle with the new 5k and 8k Pimax headsets.

The pimax seems to need a fair bit of work in rendering pipeline optimization. I saw that 1080ti vs 2080ti on the Pimax that sweviver posted. A lot of the games weren't even close to pushing 90% gpu usage but struggling to hit playable fps.

Will keep an eye on this but got my Pimax 5k+ order in so let’s see how that wait is.

Same for us in Australia. Why Samsung?

I thought the anti-sde was some kind of sub-pixels but this guy talk about a diffuse layer on the screen.
Already tried that with OSVR HDK2 and that wasn't great.
So while it may not be a new generation is it still nice to see further improvement
But not sure why we do not have RGB Amoled displays?

Early reviews in the iRacing forum seem to favor this as an incremental upgrade rather than evolutionary upgrade. The SDE filter from what i've read does its job but there isn't any drastic improvement in clarity over the rift.

If you were buying over again, i'd say this is worthwhile. If you wanna upgrade. Not so sure.

Cool! Hoping that tjrsim guy on you tube gets one for comparison. He’s been pretty straightforward in the past.
