No sarcasm, just how it is. as VR/AR headsets improve and drop in price, the point of having a monitor/tv gradually becomes less and less important.

I'm fairly certain within our lifetime, we will move on from monitors/tv's to personal, high definition displays, and the TV/monitor as we currently know it will still be around but used much less.

There was a time, not all that long ago, back when the world was shifting from CRT to LCD that people proclaimed LCD too expensive to succeed and that it would never become as popular as the standard CRT - these days barely anyone has a CRT, that same shift in technologies can and will happen again.

LCD's where an improvement over CRT's, in many ways. But didn't change the quick interactions. You walked in, turn it on, done. It requires NOTHING ELSE, for you to do. To fully make VR work. It requires this: Same price, The VR goggles have to be the size of 3D glasses. Zero sensors. 100% flawless movement tracking. Who the hell wants to setup that crap. Or even move stuff around a room, to get it it to just work. But, than you are also dealing with laziness. And people who wear glasses, too. When a TV on a wall, is faster. And doesn't cause the other issues I mentioned before. It also has one built in hinderance. Another person can't use it, at the same time. A TV doesn't have that problem. It adds more issues, than benfits.
