I already spend 8+ hours a day in front of a large screen. If the tech is good enough that I can use it 8 hours without discomfort/side effects and get huge virtual screens - me and millions of professionals are sold.

And when I have it for work the play becomes more realistic.

So for me that's the killer feature of VR - portable monitor replacement - you can take it anywhere, pop it on and you're instantly in your virtual office. This would be worth 1000s $ if it "just worked" like Apple products do.

Apple and Microsoft are the only tech players I could see pulling this off because of the OS integration required. And Microsoft failed with Hololens.

Very true. I think many people don't realize how uncomfortable phone screens are because they are just used to it and love the portability.

The day I tried HoloLens I quickly saw there is much more potential in that tech than many thing.

A 360deg screen that you can take anywhere with you and that can give you a true field of depth / 3d view. When the devices will perform well enough and be portable enough, this will become huge.
