UNCOVERED: Pimax crystal light review - Caught on Camera

The Pimax Crystal Light VR headset on a table.

I really didn't like the Pimax Crystal Light the first time I put it on. This headset is clunky and bigger than many of the best VR headsets for gaming right now, and even things like plugging it into its own power outlet and connecting it to the DisplayPort of my PC felt restrictive and a bit more old-school than many would expect now. Of course, these can be necessary parts of getting a screen this lovely, and this is where the tradeoff on high-end VR lies. You just have to hope that the experience is good enough to handle that extra baggage, both to your space and your wallet.

Getting it out of the box, the Pimax Crystal Light has a fairly sci-fi aesthetic, with the main screen housed in a casing that is not only quite wide but made up of a mass of edges.
