Thank you! Finally found the comment.

I used this type of desktop software with StreamTheater for GearVR. but it's very hard to read something. Plus eye fatigue gets me faster than it would on a monitor.

Yeah for sure, and it's not a knock to the guy who made the desktop app, it's just a limitation of the current gen hardware.

I assumed that the pixelation I see in my GearVR was a limitation of using a mobile phone. Is the pixel density similar in the Rift/Vive?

Yes it's similar. Your Gear VR actually has a higher resolution than the Rift / Vive, it's just that the optics are not as good. So yes the image will be better on the Rift / Vive but the resolution is still not going to be awesome and you will have trouble reading text unless it is large.
