eMagin Z800 Pro Dual For Sale $1100 OBO
I am selling the HMD which was successfully used in my VR build. This is the customized dual-input version of the emagin z800 HMD which will allow you to get dual 75hz stereoscopic 3d input. The specs can be found here:

The HMD is in like-new condition and functions perfectly, but has two small holes drilled into the plastic body in order to temporarily mount tracking markers.
If interested please contact me at (916)533-0007. Cash only please, no trades

An HMZ-T1 plus a headtracker would be about $900 or less.

yeah...upon second thoughts....paying even usd $500 for emagin z800 will be stupid as the sony HMD is great since z800 is obsolete .Aphradonis wrote:An HMZ-T1 plus a headtracker would be about $900 or less.
Also the z800 hardware is fragile,display quality is crap [aka no sharpness] , 3d not even supported on newer cards....i will rather wait for sony HMD instead.......
thanks anyway for the offer vvortex3 - i'd skip your offer!
Hope you 'd find somebody stupid enough to pay you for this z800 headset....my best wishes...
thanks

Keep in mind this is the dual output version of the Z800. Which means it could be used with IZ3D/DDD drivers, or custom software which supported dual output. This is not the same as the original model, which relied on the Nvidia driver for 3D output. So there could be specialized applications where this would be desirable, even over the Sony. But for most gamers, I agree that the HMZ-T1 is a lot more attractive.

Not to mention that it is a lot more lightweight/portable.

I think I remember (can't be bothered looking up) that it is faster refresh rate as well. I think the standard Z800 is just a buffered 30hz.

ok i get it - it's better than z800 std. version anytime.....light weight portable , has stereoscopic input max at @75hz......but the screens are the same as z800 std. and assembly despite being light weight is fragile which is a deal breaker....HMZ-T1 offers 51 FOV and HD oleds which are more resilient than z800's...something tells me this z800 is still NOT good.....skipping it still...heheheWiredEarp wrote:I think I remember (can't be bothered looking up) that it is faster refresh rate as well.

Yeah, $1100 is definitely a massive ripoff, even for the dual version.ancjob wrote:ok i get it - it's better than z800 std. version anytime.....light weight portable , has stereoscopic input max at @75hz......but the screens are the same as z800 std. and assembly despite being light weight is fragile which is a deal breaker....HMZ-T1 offers 51 FOV and HD oleds which are more resilient than z800's...something tells me this z800 is still NOT good.....skipping it still...heheheWiredEarp wrote:I think I remember (can't be bothered looking up) that it is faster refresh rate as well.

Before the HMZ-T1, I just wouldn't've bought an HMD, period. Lol.

why so ? do you hate z800....Aphradonis wrote:Before the HMZ-T1, I just wouldn't've bought an HMD, period. Lol.
now i get it - as per wiki here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_comparison" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
vendors 'd discontinue using the VGA,DVI ports by 2015....and display port /HDMI will be universal....
so 2015 - only display port/HDMI 'd exist.....so z800 still has 4 more years to live on govt.contracts....

I've wanted an HMD for years now, but until the HMZ-T1, there was no consumer HMD of high enough quality for me. I wasn't willing to accept low resolution, low FOV, and poor colors when I could have a nice HDTV or monitor. But with the HMZ I'll actually have a better 3D gaming experience, with OLED discrete 3D.

The HMZ-T1 is a big step forward in a lot of ways, but it is also a step back. At least in terms of mobility, it will be more difficult to use this in a wearable setup, and it doesn't even come with a headtracker. I'm talking about indoors with backtop VR or even walking around outside with some sort of AR HUD. But for stationary viewing, it should be great.

i have z800,headplay and a china HMD all of which do not offer the 'ultimate' experience i want
some have great screens but bad optics and vice-versa...
with HMZ-T1 finally seems like it's the 'dream' HMD i was looking for !

I'd just like to point out to everyone here that this entire system was sold for nearly my target price.

Nice! I wish I could sell my standard Z800. Perfect condition, APART from one screen which has a big OLED cancer spot in it.
I think I'll have to keep it and make it into a monocular HMD or something like that. Would be cool for a flip down targeting view for BlackShark.

Re: eMagin Z800 Pro Dual For Sale $1100 OBO
I'm thinking i might just put my Z800 on ebay anyway even with one damaged screen. Maybe someone will pay me a decent price for it, since it can be used for parts etc...
