That's what makes them bad to use in VR video that isn't 360°
Having a headset with equal or larger FOV than the video will:
- Downscale the picture quality; unless the resolution of the display equals- or is greater than that of the video.
- Leave you with empty void on both sides just like you have black sidebars on TV.
To be fair, the Pimax 8K does meet the "requirements" of point 1, but only for 200° =< video >= 8K.
