ifixit's detailed analysis of the display's PPI/PPD basically said it so, the PPD for a good monitor is 90+ whereas Vision Pro tops at 34 PPD.

We're probably 3 to 4 generations away from having resolution equivalence for this use case.

It’s not that though, AVP apps are plenty sharp. Or rather it’s not that alone. The AirPlay’d Mac Virtual Display is blurrier than anything else in the headset. I think the other issue, which is why you can’t resize down windows as far you feel like you should be able to, is related to the PPD. It’s also why even if you had an AVP native app you might not be able to get it small enough to match the space a regular IDE takes on a monitor and/or you won’t be able to fit as much code in the same space.

> tops at 34 PPD

iFixit said AVP averages 34 PPD. The pixels aren’t dense enough I can’t tell if they’re uniform or if (like most other headsets) they are denser in the center and more sparse at the edges
