Or else you put up the two pages on the screen at the same time and then they are totally fine. Because they can't be not fine on a 43" in the landscape orientation.
Even when I had 27" it was totally fine to read comics and manga on it.

Is this supposed to be a good thing?

Ah, yes. Using a touchscreen of your computer would give you Gorilla Arm Syndrome, but constantly turning your head, repeatedly, in span of minutes to hours is totally not give you a nastiest neckache.

No, not impressed.

Not 1:1! My dots are not exactly the same size they are on paper! Totally, absolutely unreadable! (proceeds to wear Apple Vision Pro (r)(tm) to have the page fill all their field of view)
More important part, totally omitted in the article:
Even if it would somehow work then it would work only when you are home and/or alone.
It wouldn't work on a bus (and I mean a normal bus, not a US one) or almost any other public transportation, except some long distance trains. You wouldn't take out these and wear them, to read the next issue while you have a spare 5 minutes while at the bus stop or waiting a doc' appointment.
Sure, I'm not a comic connoisseur, but it's really looks like a solution in search of a problem.
