So dk2 is out, which has pretty impressive specs. and apparently since consumer version will be a step above that, what are the odds for a 1440p display? I'm sure people are willing to drop the graphic settings for clearer vision. I got a 780 so it doesn't bother me. also whats the max hz for a 1440 screen? I hear it's like 83.33 or something. I use a dvi coord so idk if that makes a difference.
It doesn't really make sense to bring out a high res model with hdmi the way it is now, since right now getting high frame rates is a lot more important than high resolution... as i said their trying for 95 Hz... not really even possible at 1920x1080 without blanking
I think we should assume the CV1 will either require two hdmi cables or Displayport if we want 1440p at the framerates absolutely needed...
What about the people that rock a laptop? its not like we are only a few, hdmi have to be a viable option in CV1, since its the universal hd conection for all the pcs, for the good or for the bad.
if it doesn't have at least hdmi 1.4 (for max 120hz@1080p) or displayport it'll be locked to the max bandwidth of the version of hdmi it has... some hdmi 1.3 cards will do 120hz@1080p, but not all...
but its safe to say 1440p isn't possible with hdmi at 95hz+
not to mention you can't run any really modern 3d software on a laptop that doesn't have hdmi 1.4 or displayport at these resolutions and framerates anyway...
Since the facebook acquisition I have stopped thinking about 1440p and 4K, but the possibility of going apple style with a resolution of something like 3000x1500 pixels, 3200x1600 etc. They could also do 2 1600x1600 screens, as that allows for perfect IPD correction, being able to move both the screens and the lenses!
There is nothing requiring to keep a certain resolution standard when you do a custom panel.

I doubt that they will use the custom resolution displays, especially two. Oculus wants to make an inexpensive HMD, compatible with most games. 1440р for CV1, 4K for CV2, I think.
