True, especially with the current state of display technology and 1080p screens in those glasses its a pretty valid compromise.
I mostly just take issue with those dominant marketing claims of 170" screens. Its just bullshit.
Eg Valve did the same thing in the trailer for the frame. Just not directly and only with a short sneaky visual cgi representation of how a virtual screen is projected in front of the consumer. Which is from my experience way to big. I own a standalone headset with a measured 104 degrees of fov on my face. But the useable screensize in headset pretty much aligns with my 48" monitor 3-4 feet in front of me. With 57 degrees its probably more like a 32" monitor which sounds way less impressive than a 170" screen which happens to be farther away. Its just in itself a misleading metric which is intentionally used in a misleading way.
