I’m not sure why pimax would show something so early. A headset with no IPD adjustment that makes you crosseyed? Never ever announce a headset until it starts mass production. I’m not sure why Sony can’t release a high end headset. ---

Because they always do. I think it’s cool they invited two of the OG musketeers for a first ‘eyes-on’. Give it 12-18 months and this might become interesting. ---

I know I doom Pimax but I actually like the Dream Air and Dream Air SE. It’s ticking a lot of the boxes I’ve been wishing Pimax would address the size of their headsets for years and finally they’ve done it. This completely blows the Crystal Super out of the water. But like all things time moves on and when the Dream Air comes to market what will other manufacturers bring to the table. Big Screen look like they’re firing on all cylinders and a 4k version wouldn’t be out of the question. Tariffs could cripple Pimax sales even at 30%. ---

The cheaper models are a good idea for the Dream Air. However they should add a mount for a SteamVR tracker for the Slam models. ---

Interesting specs, terrible article, convoluting micoOLED with OLEDoS and describing either as if they weren’t complimentary. The shown specs clearly show that the Samsung panel obviously is a microOLED panel, so the mention of LG’s tech in a juxtaposition makes 0 sense. What is interesting besides the ppi is the significant uplift in brightness. Given pancake lenses currently block around 90% of brightness emitted by the panel, 1,500-2,000 nits reaching our eye-balls seems promising. ---

The article is horrible. Does anyone know what are the specs of the displays? Dimensions, resolutions, pentile/rgb, etc.? ---

Sony 2560x2560 for Dream Air SE Sony 3552x3840 for Dream Air It’s the same panel as AVP. ![IMG_2662](https://community.openmr.com/uploads/default/original/3X/1/e/1e5f56abd5b93de63ca20d0125cd3903a7637b38.jpeg) ---

Here’s the info from Samsung themselves: > **[Samsung Display Unveils Advanced R&D Achievements at Display Week 2025](https://global.samsungdisplay.com/31366)** > > Samsung Display to take part in Display Week 2025, hosted by the Society for Information Display (SID)Company to display next generation display technologies including its significantly enhanced Electroluminescence Quantum Dot (EL-QD) prototypes,... So it’s RGB and is an 1.4" panel. According to an online PPI calculator that means roughly 5k\*5k resolution which is damn exiting. Especially since they’re planning to start mass producing them this year already. It seems we don’t have to wait too long anymore to achieve real human vision PPD in VR. And after that, I guess manufacturers don’t have a choice anymore but to improve FOV, haha. ---

The original Samsung announcement seems to be equally bad 🙄 . I mean, 1.4" is diagonal, width, height, circumference,…? What is the aspect ratio? The PPI is calculated how? Plus, if it is really for XR headset, then the PPI is irrelevant. What will matter will be PPD. From how the announcement is written, it almost feel like they do not want to tell even one thing clearly. They could write 1"x1" panel, 5k x 5k pixels. Anyway, once they start to sell them, we will know. ---

Yeah it’s frustrating that they don’t just share the resolution, I do believe it’s around 5k\*5k but of course you’re right, we can’t know for sure. Indeed kinda feels like they don’t want us to know. ---

> [@Atmos](#): > > This completely blows the Crystal Super out of the water. Depends on your preferences - the main reason for me considering the Super is its wider FoV which separates it from the current crop of microOLED headsets. The Dream headsets both have standard/sub-standard FoV so I would be missing something - it comes down to a trade-off between weight/size and FoV, and there is no clear winner for me (other than just sticking to my Quest 3 because at least it is wireless and I’d rather wait to spend 2k on a new headset when it really satisfies all of my (reasonable) desires, of which a wider FoV definitely is big one!). ---

I don’t believe it’s developers only. I forget the specific naming convention but they originally announced the enterprise only headset, and then later announced the XYN headset (which is the exact same but not restricted to enterprise only). Honestly, they have been very unclear about it and the reps at CES themselves seem confused lol ---

The Dream Air is a Prototype in May. No motorized IPD, no controllers, no self adjust strap, no tracking. Yet Martin says he thinks its all going to be ready in 3 months. Even when Seb tries to slap him into line he keeps up the pretence. Why doesnt he just Dream Air might be released some time this year? It would make better business sense to tell people Pimax Super is 2025 go buy, don’t wait for Dream Air.
