Don’t get me wrong — I’d like to have a “monitor replacement HMD” myself, and it’s one reason that I’ve been watching the area. When things here there, I will probably get an HMD myself. And I think that there will come a day — unless some sort of brain-interface thing gets there first — where HMDs wind up at a monitor level. It’s just that in 2026, the hardware is still pretty limited for that application.
It has a high angular resolution compared to some other HMDs, but it’s still not competitive with the angular resolution of traditional monitors.
HMDs in 2026, even at the upper end of the price range, aren’t there yet as superseding monitors.

Key point is yet.
Interesting article! I’m not at all up to speed on the hardware specs vs the meta quest so I’m not sure how that translates.

Have you tried the vision pro?
