    That’s the generous best case of what you can tell a computer to display to, and it is still guaranteed to make text look like absolute shit.

    It is not possible to use the terrible resolution of any of the quests to replace multiple physical monitors for productivity. The displays are bad for literally everything but entertainment.

      I’ve used it. Have you? You won’t be editing photos, but reading text is perfectly fine.

      BTW, The Quest 3 has the same horizontal resolution as the Vision pro.

        Yes. The exact same reason you admitted that you can’t pass through a monitor is the reason it cannot possibly be used for any productivity requiring text. The density real monitors have is the density you have to have for productivity use.

        Text is not mediocre. It’s absolute, blow your brains out trash. You cannot do meaningful reading on it.

          Yes, reading passthough text is trash. The upgraded 4MP cameras on the quest 3 are still not good enough. I’m not convinced the apple’s 6.5MP will be sufficient either.
