I suspect these are actually healthier because of the additional calories - which come in the form of fat and protein, dulling the impact of the sugar spike from a soda. Even if you're overweight, a latte is more nutritious and likely

Right now, I prefer movies on GearVR to a home-theater system with full HD on a fairly close and large TV. For 2D content, the resolution isn't great (a little over 720p effective), and there is a very apparent "screen door"
