Yes, people did say it got better with DK2 but still difficult.

People are comparing it to using 3x monitors, so with a field of view 
getting on for 180 degrees. AIUI the rift uses half of a 1920x1080 
display for each eye, so actually you've got 6x less resolution spread 
across your horizontal field of view. I assume the rift keeps roughly 
square pixels so the vertical resolution (pixels per degree field of 
view) should see an equal difference? That's quite a difference even if 
the angles are not quite right.
