Anyone using a Quest Pro instead of monitors?

Question

For those with firsthand experience, is the Quest Pro good enough to replace monitors?Without additional constraints, I imagine the answer is No. But...For a frequent traveling developer, would the Quest Pro provide a nice alternative to having only the laptop screen?

The Quest Pro is a bad value prop compared to buying a 2 or 3 1440p monitors. The Quest 2 on the other hand... maybe? At $400 it's at least competitive and gives you something otherwise unattainable at that price range.I had the original Quest, and the biggest problem I ran into was eyestrain. Modern headsets are good at mitigating motion sickness, but having a pair of bifocal lens in your face causes headaches after an hour or two. The only thing I continued using it for was watching movies in a theater-like setting, which looked great on the OLED display. If you're interested in a casual use-case like that, you probably won't be super disappointed. It's not going to replace your external display anytime soon though.
