i'm looking at the used market. i can grab one CV1 for about $300+ now, there are also few vive thats currently on $200+, but bidding is on the go, i'll wait how much the price will end. for the purpose for only SIMming and gaming, i'm not sure if i'm willing to spend $400+ for any of them, add $100 more for shipping cost to here. we have them sale locally, even if shipping cost will be like $10, but they are $600+ price range (new, no used unit on sale here)

i experienced the other way. we have 2 machine on Win10 here, the one is PC for printing shop, over time, and now it boots very slowly. the other is SWMBO new laptop, got it updated last year, and now its like turtle slow, SWMBO always complaining, i dont want to touch it she asked for it (latest boombastic OS) i dont care much about privacy, there is very little to hide here. further, the most powerful PC currently at home is used HP Z800 workstation, 12 x 3.46GHz Xeon 96GB RAM and Radeon RX580 8GB, its natively (originally) designed for Win7 and came with a S/N, i think its the only machine that can pass PC requirement and i dont feel like to upgrade it to Win10, i can, but what its worth for? not much i think, for me. and i'm one of the rare believer that older OS is much stable than the latest one (putting aside security matter)

Interesting your experience with Windows 10.
I have it on the main gaming PC, Ryzen2700X,16Gb,1070Ti and Windows 10 boots in about 1/3rd the time it takes the motherboard to POST. Desktop in about 40 seconds with 30 of those spend waiting on the Bios to post the Asus logo. The monitors switching into full res usually takes longer than it does for the login screen to appear and I can get my pin code in before it does usually.
I also have two S/H Dell small form factor PCs as media centres and I let them "fall asleep", both wake with a single press from the wireless keyboard and by the time you turn the TV on they are at the login screen. These are like 2nd gen i5's 2.9 with 8Gb RAM.
The one thing however I think Windows 10 loves is an SSD. I know Windows 7 runs faster on an SSD but Windows 10 seems to thrive on it.

If you compare old vive model which is now much cheaper and new oculus specs look similar. Still even on old vive tracking is much better than on new oculus. Also it has wider viewing angle. But you can also buy vive pro.

spending more time researching on "immersive" VR more than i expected. its off topic from whats originally intended but i hope its allowed. i figured out we can put larger screens together and the eyes can still focus, its all about the lens in the middle bending the lights, even experimented with and dismantled my china cardboard VR. that was my concern if the screens are too large, eyes have to make "inverted" cross which i'm incapable of doing, but it seems now possible, so screen size is next to irrelevant. ordered another BoboVR Z4 SP goggle $15 should not hurt much, just for fun and experimentation.
so back to VR and Flight SIM, what about Pimax? i saw positive reviews from MRTV "The Mr Ang" and Linus Tech et al. and is fully compatible to Vive system. the 8K is too much expensive and not available in fleabay market. the 5K is 200deg (similar to 8K) eye view angle is a huge difference from normally offered by Oculus and Vive 110deg. probably just using similar size and density to Samsung screen (but LCPC? type) not many in fleabay in fact only 2 currently $400-500 used. and there is just few days announced new budget range $450 Pimax Artisan... 170deg diag and 140deg horz is still huge compared to 110deg... https://store.pimaxvr.com but the bad news is i heard they still struggling to fullfill their backers after the years on 8K model.

SJCAM has more visible pixelation behind the magnifying lens, but when looking under microscope, they actually have the same pitch, except SAMSUNG one uses bayer pattern (diagonal). so bayer pattern actually works to make lcd looks better.

It's AMOLED, no LCD. And it's pentile, there are no definite pixels as such.
