Pimax Crystal Light

The headset combines a high 35 PPD (pixels per degree) density with glass aspheric lenses, which significantly reduces blur and improves text readability on cockpit instruments. Its lighter design compared to the original Crystal also makes it more comfortable for the long-duration sessions typical of simulation gaming.

It comes standard with inside-out tracking, which uses built-in cameras to track your movement without external hardware. However, if you prefer the precision of SteamVR tracking, you can purchase an optional Lighthouse faceplate to integrate with existing base stations.

The Mini-LED local dimming allows the headset to achieve deeper blacks and higher contrast levels by dimming specific zones of the backlight. This is particularly noticeable in dark environments, such as night flights or space simulations, where it prevents the 'greyish' look common in standard LCD panels.

Yes, the headset supports multiple refresh rates including 60Hz, 72Hz, 90Hz, and 120Hz. This flexibility allows you to prioritize higher frame rates for fast-paced action or lower them to maintain stability in demanding simulation titles.

The Pimax Crystal Light features an adjustable IPD range of 58-72mm, allowing you to fine-tune the lens spacing to match your eyes perfectly. This is essential for maintaining visual clarity and preventing eye strain during extended use.

The headset connects to your PC via DisplayPort and USB-C. Because of the high resolution of the dual 2880 x 2880 displays, ensure your graphics card has a high-bandwidth DisplayPort output to handle the data throughput required for peak performance.
