  Forget android. Linux phones can now run Factorio!

  I suspect it depends on what kind of monitor you can afford. Its likely to fill more of your field of view.

  But you could also just get a larger monitor so that it does fill your field of view. At some point its annoying to turn your head to see the whole screen so there is also a point it gets too big.

  Its a virtual monitor though, so you can adjust it easily. I can certainly see the use in that, but on the cost side of things I would still go with a regular monitor.

  How good is the detail on it for that, would it look like a somewhat lowres virtual monitor/projector? But I could see a use for that still, and if pixel densities can continue to improve it will only get better.

  What is HDR support on Linux like these days? Not looked into it too much as I am pretty sure my monitor isn’t HDR.

  Would love to see some different monitors to actually compare tbh. My current screen essentially has built in motion blur, most visible with text if moved across the screen there is a slight trail behind it. I think its a common thing on loads of screens but some are better than others.

  That kinda stuff also gets into the area where its harder to tell which screen is better, resolution and refresh rate are easy stats to look at.

  Had a VR headset but didn’t really use it enough to justify the cost tbh. These are double the cost too.

  If I had that much money to spend I think it would be better to spend it on a screen instead of a VR headset. Should look up screens actually, aren’t they usually getting better/cheaper still unlike all other components? Could probably get a really nice screen for the cost of an RTXanything at this point.

  Not that my current one is bad though. 1440p 144hz, think its only like 5 years old. Of course £1k could get something much better.

  Tbh sounds like EA getting what it deserves
