How long did you try it for and how much did you experiment with screen size, placement, and count?

I won't pretend it's for everyone, but it did take some time for me to get used to. I didn't have the option of buying multiple good monitors at the time, so I was forced to adapt, but now I prefer it.

A few hours, I realized pretty quickly that the resolution was a problem for text readability. I don't see how virtual monitor distance would help; I found the minimum size for readable text to be unacceptably large.

As soon as pixel density ~quadruples, I'll make a serious effort at switching to VR for work.

What headset, how large are your monitors when scaled to a standard viewing distance (18-24"?), and what do you prefer?
