I'm not VR pro, but the resolution sertainly feels lacking. There were articles where people were writing how they are programming for many hours in their quest2. I cannot understand how this is possible with this bad text

Its okay if you have not used a high res screen recently. Its like using a shitty college classroom projector to program. I have a cheap 4k monitor so it kind of ruined vr for me for the moment. I will not get an 8k monitor until I have the screen in a headset first.

  And this is weird to me. As a software engineer, who works with text all the time, I was buying IPS panels with as high resolution as I was able to justify for my entire career. I don't see myself coding it quest, it is just too blurry. Although this could be me and my personal preferences, as I also cannot program on something like macbook air 13", and there are people who can easily do it. I used dual 2k 27" more than 10 years ago, now the main screen that I look at is 4k 32" and there are 2 2k 27" side by side. If linux didn't suck with mixed dpis and there were 240Hz IPS 27" (I use one of them for gaming), I'd already start considering 4k 27". --- Having said all of that, I certainly believe that there will be time when the FOV and resolution will be enough to replace monitors. Like now, I have 3 monitors because I don't want to dance with workspaces etc. I still can focus only on one at one time. Intelligent zoom and activation of windows/workspaces, improved to one that Apple shown in visionpro presentation, will be killer feature, as I objectively will be able to have multiple 4k screens without any table space used by monitors.

2nd'd But also I can't handle the poor resolution of most ultra-wide monitors either.

Going off the guesstimated PPDs and so on, I feel like the Apple Vision Pro is really going to be about the bare minimum to actually feel comfortable working on code stuff in VR/AR.

I don't think at this price point we can get really resolution for tasks like programming for at least few more years. Those screens are just still very expensive (and power hungry).
