Going by the back of the panel, I think it’s a 5.5" panel, something close to that

Then if the 8k is also a 5.5" panel then the question is what is the 5k panel original size?
More questions it seems than answers.

Maybe it’s a serial number and not a part number. I can’t find any panel starting with SX17:

Yeah. BTW I do think it’s a Sharp/hisense panel again, for the font of the model on the back of the panel seems to be exactly the same as used in the Pimax 4k, which was a sharp too.

Could be, but this number, in the exact same place, in the exact same font, represented the model number in the pimax 4k, so I do think it’s the model number again.

Can you see other parts of the number on the other screen?
I checked other screen size (5.2 to 5.8) on panelook.com, no success.

I do see some 5.7" panels bij “KOE” starting with SX14, but they’re only very low res panels (320x240).
Not sure what to think of this all …
No

Yes, I saw those but I think you’d have noticed the resolution

BTW there are also other panels in the FW mentioned, like BOE VS055QHMNH069P0. Seems Pimax did quite some experimenting with different panels

@Sjef Does the headphone jack look repairable? Is it an assembly error or a design flaw?
As mentioned in this post…

Hmm I don’t think it’s that easy to get to that, you’d need to unscrew the inner case but this again seem quite dangerous in terms of damaging those flat ribbon cables. It seems a design flaw, since another guy mentioned the same problem

Dang! I was hoping that a “little dab of epoxy” would do us! Oh well, thanks for checking!

I saw few other references but as there was no Google hits for them I thought it was just some random strings.

Keep in mind if they are indeed custom panels the info in the firmware maybe a distraction of what they had tried.
Hence why can’t find panel info from @Sjef efforts.

Ok, managed to put it all back together and the HMD still works, LOL. Now for some gaming …

Hi guys a few remarks
1: I hope some of us better understand the difficulty of assembling those headsets and the resulting low thru output
2: We see how finding a new LCD for this kind of device is not a trivial task,
3: @Sjef you should have counted how many pins the LCD connector had this would have help finding the right model ( Maybe it’s was not possible…)
4: @Lillo it always possible Pimax ordered some custom modification to a standard model so I would not exclude CLPLpanel completely

Just a guess here. The 3.42" jdi panel. Remember a year ago they told us they had another team working on a P4K revision. Perhaps its another model they haven’t announced yet

Resolution
Analogix: 7530 : DisplayPort Receiver Input Bandwidth supports up to 4K x 2K x 60Hz
read 4000 pixels x 2000 pixels @ 60hz not 2 displays!
the 7538/7539 are able to do 4K @120Hz so ** maybe** 2 4K panels @ 60hz. But remember some kind of compression is done at those resolution/speed

Bearings, LCDs. What can’t they do? This means Pimax’s two big investors are both involved in panel manufacture. The other being About us-OFILM who is also heavily invested in an augmented reality headset. → ODG - Home

Exactly yeah I saw the sjefdeklerks photos and thought “oh its more complex than I thought”
