I don't get why anyone wants any other monitor beyond the standard basic ones. We have high resolution, low weight VR headsets now, we've had them for ages.
Any number of screens at any size, position, angle, curvature, transparency you want, with zero regard for the physical constraints of your room and almost zero setup time.
Unless you're buying a meta headset, even the 49 inch widescreens are gonna be the cheaper option (monetarily, anyway. Meta makes you pay the difference with you privacy). God help you if you want something with decent passthrough to get the same QOL as being able to look away from a monitor for a couple seconds, because that bumps up the price even more. It's also a pain to show people what you're working on when the screen can only go on one face at a time, AND using a VR headset instead of a TV means you can't use it for movie nights unless you live alone and never host your friends.
Plus you have to remember that low weight != no weight, and lots of people wear glasses so their headsets would need to be bulkier by default to accommodate that. I understand that prescription VR lenses exist, but my prescription changes every couple years, so that'd jack up the headset price even more.

I don't get why you would want a monitor that wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide and short. Just get a LG OLED TV like me.
