The Quest Pro is a bad value prop compared to buying a 2 or 3 1440p monitors. The Quest 2 on the other hand... maybe? At $400 it's at least competitive and gives you something otherwise unattainable at that price range.
I had the original Quest, and the biggest problem I ran into was eyestrain. Modern headsets are good at mitigating motion sickness, but having a pair of bifocal lens in your face causes headaches after an hour or two. The only thing I continued using it for was watching movies in a theater-like setting, which looked great on the OLED display. If you're interested in a casual use-case like that, you probably won't be super disappointed. It's not going to replace your external display anytime soon though.

Of course I would like a LOT more screen real estate, but I don't want to radically change my desk setup right now. The big issue for me is that I (like to) travel a lot, and I like to travel light. Someday if/when there's a glasses solution to replace monitors, I'll be a super happy traveler. I'm just hoping to hear from people using the latest/greatest that we're close now...
- smoldesu 4y agoThe experience is getting there, I think Lenovo's ThinkReality[0] is working on something you might be interested in. Their product seems to be solely targeting comfortable virtual display use, and early reviews have been pretty positive. I'd expect a sub-$1000 product in this space before 2025.
