Visor is coming out soon. It's AR 4k made for working. Might be cool.

we'll see, I'm skeptical out of the gate until reviewers get their hands on some models to play with as to whether or not it can fulfill it's many quite optimistic promises.

Even if it does everything it says on the tin (which frankly, I'm pretty doubtful about), my other concerns are still valid here. I just don't see what virtual screens add that physical screens don't give you. The only real advantage to something like that is that you can work anywhere I suppose - but for comfortable computer work, you're still going to want an ergonomic KBM setup, a comfortable ergonomic chair, and a decent desk - so even if this solves the monitor problem, it's not likely to lure many professionals away from their desks anyways.

If others really want to work in VR, more power to 'em, but I've yet to see anything (even super optimistic upcoming stuff like the Visor) that makes me seriously consider ditching my Physical monitors

If nothing is squeezing my face and the screen is good enough I could see myself messing around with workflow set ups. Infinite monitors would definitely be awesome.
