VR headset solely as a monitor alternative for work?

For travel, time, and space reasons, it makes sense for me to try and find a way to use a VR headset in place of a monitor.

Ideally, it would display the screen as a locked image in front of me, no centering or virtual space. Essentially, a head-on big screen inside a visor. Other options like multiple screens floating in a virtual space could also work, but its not necessary. Doesn't need to be able to use any sort of 3d/VR software, games, etc. Just display a screen

It's got to be able to work with an android smartphone.

The option that stands out to me so far is the PSVR1 headset. Use the hdmi in port with a USBC-to-HDMI from the phone.

Cheap used, HDMI compatible, bonus points that I have a PS4 in case I wanted to try it.

Does anyone here see a reason this wouldn't work?
