The resolution bump is nice but I would rather it compete close in price to the rift s

There is or was a company that is experimenting with projectors.

Instead of displays you got a projector and a reflector pointing towards a ' screen'. This was supposed to mitigate the screendoor effect. 

I can't remember any more details than that though.

... you know, I wonder why hasn't anyone played around with using optical fibers to make a display in the headset (so the emitting screen can stay flat and elsewhere, while the main visual surface can be curved and also bend towards the extreme edges of peripheral vision ._.)

Expensive as heck

And weight

And a pain in the ass for not much gain.

 

A curved OLED display would be 100000x better and simpler

are ellipsoidal/spherical panels possible? o_o

Ellipsoidal yes,  spherical, don't know but might be depending on the diameter.
