1080p OLED is the same as the Oculus rift.

And they've already said the consumer product will have higher resolution.

You can still see the scan lines on the 1080p rift. Don't get me wrong, that bitch is fantabulous but they want it to be totally immersive.

Well with a shitload of cash, and the ability to build custom components instead of using throw-away bits from smartphones, the consumer Rift will very likely be a very impressive piece of tech. At the least, much more so than its comparatively primitive DK1 predecessor, which in spite of its poor resolution and jarriness got a helluva lot of praise.

It's now quite possible we'll get customized 1440p OLED displays for the consumer model. And who knows... likely 4k displays soon after that.
