Pimax Crystal Super 50PPD

The mid-tier option in the Crystal Super product line from Pimax is a wired VR headset with a 50PPD optical module, offering the most balanced combination of clarity and field of view. While the 57PPD version emphasizes extreme detail at the cost of narrowing the field to 106°, and the Ultrawide stretches the image to 140° with some density loss, the 50PPD option finds a golden mean: a horizontal field of view of 127° provides noticeable peripheral vision, and 50 pixels per degree at a resolution of 3840x3840 per eye deliver an image where text on control panels and distant objects remain clearly readable.

The displays are QLED with mini-LED backlighting. The eye-tracking system at 120 Hz in the Pimax Crystal Super 50PPD VR headset enables dynamic foveated rendering, allowing even RTX 3070-level graphics cards to handle the load that a total of 29 million pixels would create during full rendering. A modular design is a key feature of the entire Super line: the optical block can be removed and replaced with any other option, turning one headset into three different devices as needs change. Four SLAM tracking cameras monitor position in six degrees of freedom without external stations, inter-pupillary distance is automatically adjustable within the range of 58–72 mm, refresh rate is 72 or 90 Hz, and connection is via DisplayPort.
