I've never seen a Varjo headset in person, so I can't say anything about it other than it's extremely expensive, both to buy and to operate (you have to agree to a yearly service contract).
But everyone should avoid PiMax like the plague. Their hardware is super buggy with lots of weird lens distortions and colored static in the displays. Their drivers are weirdly front and present like a HP does with their printer drivers, making me wonder just what they hell they think they are doing (and also, very buggy as well). Whatever resolution advantage they claim is wasted on bad image compression and extremely bad optics.
But the worst part of all is that the business side is really scammy. They'll gladly taking your money and sending you a shipping notification long before they ever have an actual headset they can send you. I get that manufacturing delays are a thing, but for PiMax they've always been a thing, long before the global pandemic and chip shortage. Don't tell me I'm going to get a headset "any day now, it's in the mail" for 3 months straight, only to finally get your act in gear when I threaten to reverse the credit card charge.
Of all the people I've talked to who have eventually gotten their PiMax headset, only one says he likes it, but he's also super DPRC-nationalistic and has accused people of racism anytime they talk bad about PiMax.
- spyder 5y agoThe Varjo headset must be awesome in person, so far every reviewer is blown away by the resolution: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOk_M1Ib5F0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOk_M1Ib5F0 https://youtu.be/iDb0OjNG2is?t=736 https://youtu.be/iDb0OjNG2is?t=736 https://youtu.be/e6djDSf0kxg?t=699 https://youtu.be/e6djDSf0kxg?t=699 trough the lens recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOEcv0mFdXg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOEcv0mFdXg
