8k owner? Want to try the 5k+? In the Houston Area?

If your an 8k owner and are curious to try the 5k+ and your in the Houston area please PM me.

I have the 5k+ and am really wanting to try the 8k as well. Would like to get together and give them a try. I may be looking to trade mine out with an 8k if someone is interested. I'm running a high end system w/ a 2080Ti so the platform shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks Chris

Just curious are you slightly underwhelmed with 5k res? What was your first impression when first looking through the lenses?

No, the 5k+ is super sharp. In fact the 8k is known to be softer. I'm curious about the 8k due to it's pentile LED arrangement as that was what I was used to with my Vive Pro.

I imagine it will be similar to the odyssey+ softness. What’s your thoughts on the sde compared to the pro? Ive never liked og vive pentile screens

The SDE on the 5K+ is better than the Vive Pro but "different" in a hard to describe way.

If you haven't already, connect with the Houston VR group. They have regular meetings where people bring their hardware to demo and discuss.

Nice group of folks...
