The author has very, very low standards for video quality. Rift resolution over an equivalent area is far, far less than a standard tv. 1080p is not going to be an improvement worth even noting because it is spread over a huge field of view. It needs 4k to be viable for video consumption. For video, as opposed to immersive gaming, you want an Avegant Glyph. Still in Kickstarter and projected to about $3M in pledges. No screen door and no visible pixels. It uses projection onto the retina from a micro-mirror array to give apparent resolution much higher than 720p over its 45 degree FOV. Reviewers can't say enough good things about the movie experience.
