Does anyone have a good resource covering Headset Hardware reviews and specs?

I researched this recently looking for an HDMI compatible AR headset to try command line coding with but it was tough to find concise feature/spec/price comparisons.

Sign of the times I guess.

There are no good AR headsets right now. The Hololens doesn't have enough field of view, processing power, or battery to make it very useful, especially not as a development computer of any kind. And while the Meta 2 is tethered to a PC, it's also garbage. I'm not aware of any others that its actually possible to acquire right now.

I'm fine with a tether. I just want something simple that plugs into an HDMI or thunderbolt port and projects my laptop screen into the headset

That's what I'm saying. The Hololens works (for some value of "works", as far as the simple demos go) but doesn't tether. The meta 2 tethers but doesn't work.

https://www.reddit.com/r/HMDprogramming/ is about discussing programming inside VR. Not a lot of activity. Current headsets are still equivalent to MCGA solid-angle wise. Best so far for programming seems to be the "Pimax 4K VR" https://medium.com/@n4ru/mobile-full-stack-development-in-4k...
