The current development kit prototype is just 1920×1080, which is split horizontally into 960x1080 per eye. So it's really not "two high def screens". Hopefully they will be able to improve this further before shipping the consumer version.

The consumer version of the Rift has been confirmed to have multiple screens. Resolution is not confirmed yet.

Due to lens distorsion, rendering are done at higher resolution in order to get 1:1 pixel density at the center of the screens.
