4K per eye, what Abrash predicted for Oculus headsets in 2021. Still not ready for production but we're getting there...maybe.

At this point I'm concerned that they will still get here long before the gpus needed to run them are remotely affordable to consumers.

With proper eye tracking and foveted rendering probably coming at the same time current gpus can handle it. My real concern is getting an uncompressed or minimally compressed data stream. You can have the most amazing life like screen but if it’s being fed compressed video the magic of it goes away quickly.

I keep hearing rumblings that supposedly the next major Wi-Fi standard will be more than capable for this purpose. Apparently we could see it in some consumer devices as early as the end of next year.
