PimaxVR with 4k display is still no good to watch VR porn 03.05.2017

Got PimaxVR in my hands with only purpose to watch porn with it. It comes as light headset with headphones only. No controllers or any other accessories. Latency is terrible. While picture is good, colourful and sharp, it's all ruined once you move your head a little bit. It even makes it uncomfortable while just staring because of head's natural microshacking. I also didn't like the sound. It sounded very different than on Rift or GearVR. Also it seems to be asynchronous with the video. It's NOT consumer ready product, while manufacturer presents it to be and there are good reviews for it online.

There's no chance you would enjoy it while watching videos or playing games.

Tested on: Asus ROG i7-6820HK/GeForceTM GTX 1070 256bit w/ 8GB GDDR5

While it definitively has an advantage in high resolution display, it's not useful from practical POV for watching videos or playing games.

It cost me $430 in total: $350 in purchase (while some promo) and another $80 in taxes.

Kept it for a week, my colleagues tried it as well. Also used for Steam games. Returning it now, looks like it's complicated with AliExpress.
