I'm generally interested in alternatives (televisions, HMDs, etc.) to traditional monitors, but I don't see many benefits to the setup described in his post. It would be more interesting if the image were projected onto the ceiling since that can result in a more relaxed posture and is an orientation very difficult to achieve with a monitor.

This seems entirely dependent on angular distance. An average desktop monitor would be similar to the setup here.

Is this true? I'd guess that it is more a matter of overall brightness. I don't think the eye can distinguish between an emitted and reflected photon.

I feel like a projector in a dark room is harder on the eyes than a monitor in a well-lit room, in fact.

Plus less tripping when I stand up
