Huh? Where did all the pixels go?

If the resolution is 240x230 that's 55200 pixels. Even if that is only
one eye (i.e. there are two of them per HMD) that comes to only 110400 pixels -
still about 70000 short. Am I missing something?

P.S. Good post! It probably game me more information than all of the others
combined.
