Oh yeah for sure. Most people seem to accept that 35ppd is "good enough" but not actually at-par with a high quality high-dpi monitor.

I agree with you - I would personally consider 35ppd to be the floor for usability for this purpose. It's good in a pinch (need a nice workstation setup in a hotel room?) but I would not currently consider any extant hardware as full-time replacements for a good monitor.

Most people in what age group?

I'm 53 and the Quest 3 is perfectly good as a monitor replacement.

I'm in the same boat. Due to my vision not being perfect even after correction, a Quest 3 is entirely sufficient.

I keep hearing this argument, and it baffles me. I find that, as I age and my vision gets worse, I need progressively finer text rendering. Using same-size displays (27") at the same distance, with text the same physical size on screen, 1440p gives me a much worse reading experience than 4k with 2x scaling.

Are you saying ppd requirements for comfortable usage vary with age?

[andybak]

They vary with quality of eyesight which usually correlates with age.
