The original vive is pretty outdated now. You would struggle to even read text, let alone want to replace your monitor with it. Currently the best you can get is 4k per eye which is going to allow you to read text ok but the quality will be something closer to a 720p screen since those pixels are spread out over a huge area.

Give it a couple years and there will probably be an 8k vr setup that might allow for decent desktop use. But even then I'm not sure most people would want to use such a setup since you would need a very powerful pc for it and no one else would be able to see your screen.

I consider that a plus. I'm regularly flabbergasted by the things I'm able to see on screens in public transport.

In an office its probably not ideal when you need to show things to people.
