Really I think social home sports viewing is the only situation for an argument of physical tv viewing and the comfort level (which i'm expecting apple to have improved on here similar to what Bigscreen is doing).
People talk about killer apps for VR and i'm like this is clearly it, we have just been hardware limited so far. People very comfortably spend $1-3k+ on decent TV's and that is just a tiny aspect of what VR can do.
