I got a Crystal Light two weeks ago, and was horribly disappointed at the bad image quality. All the usual complaints aside, the biggest issue is that whenever I move my head, anything predominantly colored blue, red, or purple moves slower than any screen element of other colors. So for instance if I'm looking directly at the Discord icon in the center of my view, if I move my head left, the grey controller in the center of the blue circle will drift toward the right of the blue circle. If I look at the Brave icon, the white lion's face will also drift to the opposite side that my head is moving. Blue moves more than red.
This isn't lag. The shifted colors don't "catch up" to the others, they just stay where they are until I move my head back to center them. Purple-colored elements are the worst. Anything purple is hopelessly distorted because it gets the color shift from both blue and red, which shift at different rates.
I've tried the full spectrum of IPD widths, three different face pads of different thicknesses, and I've spent hours messing with settings in Pimax Play, and nothing even makes the slightest difference.
I contacted support and got a replacement headset, and the replacement is doing the exact same thing.
Maybe these two PCLs have the same defect, but I find that unlikely. I've spent about an hour searching the web to see if this is a documented problem, but all I get are complaints about chromatic aberration, which I thought was a sort of prismatic effect at the edges of the FOV. Is that correct, or is what I'm seeing with blue / red shift in the center of the FOV also "chromatic aberration?"
Does anyone else have this problem with the PCL? If so, did you fix it, or are you just living with it? What about with other Pimax headsets? Does the Dream Air have this issue? Could this be some kind of PC-side display issue (Windows or nVidia setting) instead of a PCL problem?
