In short
Crystal Light is 2880×2880 DP PCVR. Keep 110° H / 815 g vs trade-in 115°/130° / 450 g, plus the refresh 60-vs-not and 2080-vs-2070 splits. Do not copy Enterprise 105°. Do not average 16 / 16.5 / 16.58 million pixels.
Who it is for
- PC VR users who want Pimax’s own 2880×2880 / 110° H / 815 g table.
Who should skip it
- Anyone who needs eye tracking in the H1 — Crystal Super rows, not Light.
- Shoppers reading business.pimax.com Crystal Light Enterprise (105° H) as this consumer slug.
- Standalone / no-PC buyers.
Key differentiators
- 2880×2880 per eye QLED + Mini-LED; 35 PPD (Pimax); glass aspheric; 110° horizontal.
- Inside-out four cameras; optional lighthouse faceplate; DP 1.4a native.
- 815 g headset; IPD 58–72 mm manual; no eye tracking.
Caveats
- Refresh: pages spec list includes 60 Hz; product Complete specs are 72 / 90 / 120 Hz only.
- GPU floor: pages marketing RTX 2080 vs product-page minimum list that includes RTX 2070.
- FOV: consumer pages 110° H vs trade-in prose 115° vs trade-in table 130°. Flag all three; do not average.
- Mass: consumer pages / Complete specs 815 g vs trade-in table 450 g. Flag both.
- Pixel-count copy on the product page is 16 / 16.5 / 16.58 million — do not pick one.
- Local dimming: “Optional” on the pages spec list vs unqualified on Complete specs.
- No hands-on testing.

Frequently asked questions
Is 60 Hz official?
It is on the pimax.com/pages specification list. The product-page Complete specs list 72 / 90 / 120 Hz only. We keep both.
Is this Crystal Super?
No. Super rows use different panels, FOV, and eye tracking. This slug is Crystal Light.
Why not 105°?
That number is on the Enterprise business page, not the consumer Complete specs. Different SKU.
Why do some Pimax pages say 450 g or 130°?
The 5K trade-in page prints 450 g and 130° (and 115° in the prose). Consumer Complete specs still print 815 g and 110° H. We flag both.
