Pimax Crystal Super

The Pimax Crystal Super pushes PCVR clarity to the extreme with swappable optical engines — 50 PPD QLED at 3840x3840 per eye, or a 57 PPD option — making it a tool for racers who want maximum sharpness in sim and flight cockpits. That ceiling comes with steep demands: it's DisplayPort-tethered with no battery, and at roughly 29MP per eye it punishes anything but a high-end GPU. Standalone and wireless users should skip it.
