But would it need to be a true "retina" screen? The Hololens has cameras that track where your eyes are focused, so the laser image could have a "fovea" that moves with your eye movements so as to retain a high focus region just at the spot you're looking at.

That solves the graphics card horsepower issue. You still need a lot of pixels even if you're not driving all of them at high resolution all the time.
