"23 million pixels across two displays" = sqrt(23 million / 2) = 3391x3391 per eye assuming square panels.

That's less horizontal resolution than a 4K monitor (3840x2160) stretched across your entire field of view.

It's not as simple as that though, with your head and eyes in constant movement and two separate screens with a high refresh rate. The G2 or Vive have 50% less density and it's already quite hard to distinguish individual pixels.

A 4K monitor has 8.3M pixels, so you could equivalently say that it's ~three 4K monitors.
