It would be like playing on an old SD tv.

VR is great for immersion, not for watching tv (or narrow fov console games). The resolution isn't good enough, unless you want to go back to VHS quality. Morpheus has a 100 degree field of view at 960x1080 per eye. Realistically you don't want to go over 40 degrees fov for watching tv (especially not with shaky cam), so you're roughly left with 380x430 for your content.

It's possible, yet a big step back from 1920x1080.


That's true, I mean...technically you'd still be seeing a 768x432 image (assuming a 40 degree fov) which really isn't that much different than the resolution of a regular dvd (720x480).

I'm not sure if it would work that way but it would be an interesting experiment. Sent the even pixels to the left eye and the odd pixels to the right eye and your brain might interpret it as a 768x432 image. It's still far below the HMZ-T1 that has 2 separate 1280x720 panels.
Yeah I guess if you watch 480p Netflix it would still look good enough. Games would be a problem though with all the tiny text.
