I have no doubt it does, for games. But due to the nature of its optics, the perceived resolution of the Rift will still not be up to snuff for a while. You're essentially looking at the screen through a magnifying glass; I'm not sure there's any display with a good-enough pixel density out there, yet.
Thanks for saying this. I've tried the developer version and while it was great fun the resolution, screen door and shimmer issues were really disappointing.
I agree that it needs a couple of generations of improvement before it becomes useful for text. And if you check the specs of the "HD" version it's not going to be sufficiently improved to make the difference.
