Yeah, I'm not sure even this one is going to really be high res enough to make a good monitor replacement, but the other hmds I've seen certainly aren't.
1080p per eye resolution[0], not really a proper display replacement.
Works pretty well for games and media though, these are semi-popular in the Steam Deck community.
These also have zero processing and require a device to connect to, there is no positional tracking either so the display floats wherever you move your head to.
That's still not capable of producing a central "work area" the angular size of a book at the reading distance with a reasonable angular resolution figure.
Speculating but what if this screen pixel density is not uniform but much more dense in the center and they use eye tracking to shift those screens mechanically similar like the shift camera sensor array for image stabilization?
If they alternate eyes rapidly, like active 3D glasses do, couldn't that double or nearly double the perceived resolution (if each eye is offset by 1/2 pixel from the other)?

11.5Mpx per eye I think it said in the video.
Or almost 50% more than 4K, per eye.
