What is the current best headset in terms of FOV, resolution, and refresh rate? What are other important technical specs? I looked at some headsets at Nvidia GTC last year, and they were underwhelming.
'Best' in terms of raw specs in the consumer realm would be the Valve Index, but you'll be paying a large premium for it (£920 for a complete setup). 'Best' in terms of price/perf would the the Oculus Rift S (£400 complete setup). There's minimal reason to consider HMDs other than these unless you have a specific application in mind (in which case you could not be asking for recommendations in a news site comments section).

p1esk wasn't implying Nvidia makes HMDs, he was referring to Nvidia's GPU Technology Conference (GTC).https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/gtc/
