Lower video resolution also feels like a decent tradeoff for a few reasons:

- Thanks to the headset's optics, you're staring at a point in space ~5ft in front of you instead of a couple feet tops which cuts down eye strain

- It's private, so you don't feel like people are watching over your shoulder

- On international or redeye flights, you're not keeping everybody up with the light spewing from your tablet/phone

On almost every international overnight flight I've been on people watch movies and TV on seat back monitors at all times. For people who need absolute darkness the airline usually provides an eye mask.
