    What made you buy your monitor?

    Having a monitor at all has plenty of killer apps: Anything that it displays that you want to use that you wouldn’t be able to do otherwise without a monitor.

    But your particular monitor? Well, it looks like the Apple VR thing is about 10x to 20x the price of a basic VR headset. Is your particular monitor 10x to 20x the cost of a regular monitor? If so, there probably is some killer app that made you get a fancy monitor. And maybe it’s something that no other monitor can do… otherwise, why spend 10x to 20x as much?

    If the Apple VR thing also has a computer built in (and its own specialized software), then comparing it to a monitor isn’t accurate. It’s not a peripheral when it’s a standalone device.
