Pimax Drops the Crystal Super QLED by $200 in the SuperOpen Event

I’m a sim racer and amateur racer with a passion for Motorsport, good racecraft and the technical and setup aspect of sim racing.

Pimax has knocked $200 off the Crystal Super QLED for three months, taking it from $1799 to $1599 as part of what they’re calling the SuperOpen Event. It runs from April 16th to July 16th 2026. With our affiliate code stacked on top, you’re looking at roughly $1567 – the lowest list price we’ve seen on the Crystal Super QLED since launch.

The Details

Pimax is framing the SuperOpen Event as a community move – inviting buyers in as builders, testers and feedback contributors rather than just consumers. Whatever you make of that framing, the practical bit is straightforward. The Crystal Super QLED is $1599 for the next three months, no minimum purchase or membership required.

That brings the Crystal Super QLED down to roughly $1567 all-in. Same hardware as the standard Crystal Super – 3840×3840 per eye, 50-57 PPD, glass aspheric lenses, IPD adjustable from 58 to 72mm, local dimming, Dynamic 2.0 foveated rendering. It’s the QLED variant, not the micro-OLED module that’s still in the pipeline.

What This Means for Sim Racers

Eleven percent off the flagship QLED isn’t huge in absolute terms. But it’s the strongest list-price move I’ve seen on the Crystal Super since launch. If you’ve been waiting for the Crystal Super QLED to drop below $1700, this is the moment.

It’s a buy-now-or-wait decision. My Crystal Light is what I run on iRacing day-to-day, and the Crystal Super QLED is a meaningful step up on resolution and FOV – sharper apex points, easier to read distant brake markers. Whether $1567 is the right number for you comes down to what you currently own and how much patience you’ve got for the Pimax product roadmap, which is the more interesting story right now.

What’s Next from Pimax?

The Dream Air has officially started shipping in small batches after Pimax’s CES 2026 demo tour. Dream Air SE – the cheaper variant at 2560×2560 per-eye – rolled out from March in limited numbers. The Crystal Super micro-OLED module, which shares its lens insert system with the Dream Air, is rumoured for summer 2026 but doesn’t have a confirmed shipping window. Pimax’s track record on dates is mixed (r/Pimax keeps a public running list of slipped delivery promises, last updated this April), so factor that in.

I’ve reviewed the Crystal, Crystal Light and Crystal Super already. Dream Air is the gap. We’ll be testing one as soon as one lands.

If you want a sharp QLED headset on your rig this season, $1567 is the cleanest deal Pimax has offered since launch. If you want the slimmer form factor or micro-OLED contrast, you’re joining a queue.
