From your video:
“…140º, and this is for the large FOV, the largest FOV that the Pimax 8KX CAN show.”

come on. read his first post again. it is plainly obvious that he made a mistake. nowhere he states that he is measuring the “useable” fov. Not mentioning any “usable” fov with other headsets. and they have clearly blurry extreme fov, too.
He simply has to mature and confess. everything else is dissapointing but very likely.

Thanks for the clarification Sebastian. It is definitely much more of a subjective value when you are looking at it from that viewpoint. For me personally when I used my 5k+ I never looked directly in the far corners of the screen because I was more accustomed to just turning my head to look at things that I wanted to see, therefore the far peripheral vision was just used for awareness and not actual viewing so distortions and blurriness in that area didn’t matter for me. I would expect that a lot of people use their headsets in this way so being able to clearly read or view items in the far corners wouldn’t matter as much to them.

Thanks for the clarification. Hm. This is imho confusing. Wouldn’t it have been clearer to just state “In normal FoV I see 140°. With large FoV it is 160°, but I personally prefer and would only use normal over large, so from a practical point of view I consider the headset to offer 140° for me”.

really? you do not get it, too? he is plainly giving sh*t about honesty. i am very pissed and everybody should be, too.

he actually did, at least in the german version (have not compared to the english one though)
I mean he said that he would not count it on the cosmos (i think) so why should he do it for another hmd? it’s logic

This is very true for me, when using my 5k+ in flight sims and driving sims the extra FOV on the sides added greatly to my sense of immersion even though I wasn’t trying to look in those corners for anything. Just being able to detect movement on the sides added greatly to the sensation of movement.

why even compare then if i could simply set the hmd up like a fool and say everything is blurry → no usable FOV

it´s very unlogical because very subjective. Where does he draw the line of the image being unusable?

yes exactly the point. many users feel that way. So him to deside the FOV is not there because he doesn’t recognize the experience, is weird.

no word about “usable”. comparing the specs with your “measurement”. Your explanation of the measurment error is very, very, bad.

From this point, the reverb has only 35 Degrees FOV. All other around is completely blurred… tss

Well i do think with his large and growing audience that he needs to do some damage control on this issue because i’m sure the reason why @PimaxUSA and @SweViver haven’t responded is they are just waiting for the discussion to continue for awhile until they decide to post the actual facts of the FOV regarding Pimax hmd’s (of course these numbers have already been recorded in writing and video). Maybe with the G2 and so many other questions and purchase decisions some just need further clarification at this time)

by stating it is subjective (depending on various parameters) and revealing his personal findings.
can‘t see what is wrong with that, but it‘s ok for me if you have a different approach as there may be different angles to look at that.
Lol
Seb definitely prodded a wide eyed bear with a stick this time

Sebastian for sure knows how to make a sensation

yes it’s easy to do 
and it’s because of spreading misinformation.
common practice nowadays

Arguing does not mean ignoring key arguments. It has nothing to do with subjectivity to measure different headsets with different standards. Most headsets have peripheral blurr. And the further this blurring lies in the periphery, the less you can focus it. Conversely, it would make more sense to criticize peripheral blurr for small FOV because it disturbs more there.

just watched the german video. a commercial for the G2 from from the beginning , no word about "usefulness with the cosmos. he said the flip up design restrict the fov (he thinks).
testing the G2 he says that he looks if he can still see the lines (testing like myself). testing the G1 he states that he can see the borders of the display. so the lines seem to be visible on top and bottom, but not in the middle of the display (barrel distortion needed for lens correction) this is why he states the number where he can still see all of the line (no middle part missing)
and so on…
Artisan he says nothing about blur. 8kX he says nothing about blur or usefulness of the FOV!!!
stop defending him.
