I am very new to the world of VR and am struggling to make sense of it
all. Perhaps someone can provide assistance.  I am looking for a HMD
that I can wear while riding on my stationary bicycle.

Minimally, I would like to use the HMD to watch tv or movies.  Knowing
almost nothing about all this I have no idea of how practical or
impractical this would be. 

Another question that comes to mind is how "enjoyable" (or
"unenjoyable") would it be if one was to use a HMD while resting. In
other words, would it be more enjoyable to watch a tv show or video on
your home tv or would it be more enjoyable to watch it using the HMD ?

I spoke to the folks at General Reality Company about their CyberEye
CE-200W which sells for about $2000 US.  And, I was contemplating buying
that unit and seeing if they would let me return it if I found that it
wasn't right for me.

I would greatly appreciate any advice on this matter.
