> I didn't realize when I first put one on that it was a fully synthetic display until I tried reading the 10pt text on my computer monitor.

Can you elaborate on this? I've not looked at it since it came out. Does this mean that you can look at your computer monitors while using it, or that it's replacing your computer monitors because it has a high enough resolution?

Every other display I've tried has far too low pixel density to be used for serious work, which is rather unfortunate.



When compared to a monitor in front of you (at the distance the physical monitor is), Apple Vision Pro is actually pretty low resolution. They say it has high resolution 4k or 8k displays, but all those pixels are "wasted" on your entire field of view. The actual 'monitors' or windows are a subset of that, and so will be drawn with less physical pixels than a real monitor.


Sounds about right. I'd love to see 32k displays in my life. The same type of people who said that you don't need more than 24Hz for displays are now saying you don't need more than 4k and they are just as right then as they are now.
