It's obviously not a unqualified "Yes", either. Even the worst $200 TN LCD TV would be superior at watching shows with my wife together vs. one of us sporting an AVP by our lonesome.
Or put another way: There's a couple of different contexts and occasions for using a TV, and buying an AVP is making a choice for only one of them. A $3500 TV is a lot more flexible in this regard.
My wife and I tried sharing a single eye each of the AVP together. It was distracting unless you closed the eye not being used for the AVP. The resolution was adequate for a single eye.
The head strap was also not large enough to hold the device around both our heads simultaneously. After fashioning a head strap that fit us both I noticed that I could not get stereo sound given that AVP only has 2 speakers. Attempting get my son to watch with us proved to be impossible. All in all the device is somewhat of a failure when watching with others socially.

I am genuinely not able to tell if this was satire. If it was, hats off.
Isn't the best satire like that:) Thanks for the compliment.
