> If the Quest Pro could replace my triple monitors, $1500 is a bargain. It's basically a laptop with 3 monitors that appear out of thin air whenever you want. Amazing. It won't. The form factor is still too clunky and you will most likely get eye strain. Btw, another commenter posted a link to these Nreal Air glasses (see [VIDEO] ). I'd never heard of them before, but they look like a much better approach to a monitor replacement device. They're lighter and more comfortable because they try to do fewer things (no controllers, no battery, no VR).

There’s the nreal air glasses that you can buy today for £400 and some Lenovo glasses that were posted on hn recently that are coming next year. The future is already here: [VIDEO]

Nreal air AR glasses are seeming more useful and affordable ($380) for a multi-desktop experience. I am not keen on spending $1500 for the pro... probably going to wait until the resolution is better and other improvements. Here's a review of Nreal, on youtube: [VIDEO]
