Thanks to Pimax for sponsoring this video and inviting me out to CES 2026 at Las Vegas where I could try both the Crystal Super OLED and Pimax Dream Air OLED back to back! Pimax are also doing the following offer:


From the 16th to the 31st January, all Pimax orders using the code “Kireth” will receive an extra DMAS as a bonus.


Also, for every 10 orders, Pimax will randomly draw one winner to receive a QLED optical engine. If the winner happens to have purchased a Light, they'll refund the full order instead. Good luck!
