'''Pimax 5K XR''' is a [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] released in 2018.
The '''Pimax 5K XR''' is a [[virtual reality]] [[head-mounted display]] developed by [[Pimax]], a Chinese VR technology company known for ultra-wide field of view headsets. Released in 2018, the 5K XR features dual Samsung OLED displays with 2560x1440 resolution per eye and an industry-leading 200-degree diagonal field of view, the closest to human vision of any commercially available VR headset at its release.<ref name="amazon">{{cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/Virtual-Reality-2560x1440p-Tracking-Warranty/dp/B07R8VMF3N|title=Pimax 5K XR VR Headsets with Wide 200 Degrees Field of View|publisher=Amazon}}</ref>
 
== History and Development ==
 
=== Pimax Company ===
Pimax is a Chinese VR technology company that gained recognition through a successful Kickstarter campaign for wide field of view VR headsets. The company focuses on pushing the boundaries of VR immersion through ultra-wide FOV designs.
 
=== 5K XR vs 5K PLUS ===
The "XR" designation stands for "eXtended Range," referring to the extended dynamic color range and near-absolute blacks possible with OLED displays. The primary differentiator between the 5K XR and the Pimax 5K PLUS is the use of OLED screens rather than LCD panels.<ref name="vrrealm">{{cite web|url=https://thevrrealm.com/reviews/pimax-5k-xr-review/|title=Pimax 5K XR Review|publisher=The VR Realm}}</ref>
 
== Design and Hardware ==

The 200-degree diagonal FOV is the closest to human vision of any commercially available VR headset, dramatically increasing peripheral vision compared to typical 90-110 degree headsets.
 
=== Refresh Rate ===
The headset operates at an 82 Hz ultra-high refresh rate.
