Big fan if that partnership is actually a lasting thing. I'm a fan of Samsung's screens, everything from their tablets, phones to TV's, so if the consumer rift gets a samsung screen, then thumbs up from me

Its just funny to see the screen in there with the full Note 3 screen in place, cut-outs and all.

Indeed! I wonder if it was cheaper for them to bulk buy Note 3 replacement parts from a vendor than it was to get the bare screen direct from Samsung. It would be an unusual situation, but certainly not a unique one for electronics giants like Samsung that are focussed on their own retail products rather than supplying the market place with components. And I guess Oculus are buying them in the hundreds rather than the hundreds of thousands.
