The chinks keep innovating where shit actually matters. If this is cheap enough, I can see this being very usable even for normies as a second monitor. Resolution is 1600x1200 and refresh rate is user programmable.
To be honest this is the sort of product that Sup Forums would make. Extremely niche yet extremely functional.

>satan shilling for chinks
still, the idea is neat the real big issue has to be the generally appalling refresh rate I don't expect to watch Youtube on the thing, but even for editing text, you're going to type faster than the screen.
if it's pretty cheap, it'd be ace
Brandon Harris
The video actually shows him editing text. It seems usable enough. I wouldn't mind sacrificing some of the image quality/resolution for speed. Hope it has at least a Kindle Voyage tier backlight though.
Camden Brooks
>Sup Forums >functional Now I know you're memeing, if it was made by Sup Forums it would have a case made of duplo blocks, 1" of glass in front of the e-ink and would only accept images over rs232 serial.
You could probably market this as a productivity device to yuppies with procrastination issues. Only good for text, so you have to focus on your coding/writing. Though personally most of my timewasting is on forums so it wouldn't work for me.
Easton Adams
gook shit
Lucas Price
I'd buy it for work.
>translator >have to look at two word docs all day long >at least it's nice like paper.
Liam Harris
I can see this being useful in many enterprises where employers only need to type and read all day
Julian Lee
This is the biggest meme I've seen yet, wow.
Connor Johnson
And code. I can imagine using this plugged to either a laptop or workstation and use this for the text input, main monitor (LED preferably) for viewing the output.
E-ink has actual, real world applications. I imagine paper newspapers will be replaced by updating e-ink slabs in the future. Go back to your smartphone threads.

Thomas Ward
I'd buy a small (5-6 inch or similar) for my server.
I'm sure a terminal window would look nice on it.
Jonathan Davis
Elaborate on "the refresh raye is programable" what's the max.
Josiah Rogers
Go pick up an old monochrome monitor. It will look better than e-Ink and cost basically nothing.
Christian Roberts
Have you ever seen a monochrome oled display. I've only seen small ones on portable electronics, but a full size monitor would look gorgeous.
Grayson Nelson
Only green/yellow and black, which looked disgusting. Monochrome CRTs don't have subpixels, so text looks really nice on them. I used one for IRC for a few months before it died.

zoz, I know this pain. This is what happened when I flashed gingerbread to my ereader and tried to use it as a tablet
Eli Gomez
my tablet's 10.5" 2560x1600 OLED screen is better with white text on black background.
Jaxson Thompson
newspapers are already being replaced by smartphones with common LCD screens.
I use an ebook reader and like the e-ink display a lot but I don't think it's practical for these kind of things unless they can drastically improve the refresh rates. I'd be more interested in better color e-ink displays.
Hunter Sanders
This video talks about how displays give people eye strain, but the only thing thats fucking with my eyes are the shitty white-on-white subtitles.
Fucking hell.
Parker Morris
This is nothing F.lux, lowering your brightness, turning on a light behind your monitor, etc couldn't fix
Dominic Bailey
$900 so not for a while, no.
Isaiah Morgan
No, it's not. You're retarded and should feel bad.

Why the fuck cant people just make high res monochrome lcd's w/o backlight. My first laptop had a screen not unlike the 'new' one op is shilling using lcd technology.

Brandon Nelson
In the 90s? Sure. Major ghosting issues and low visibility outside of direct light. but you could reasonably build a high-contrast low persistence unlit LCD now that would provide many of the advantages of e-ink (readability, power consumption) with the advantages of traditional displays (refresh rate)
Asher Green
>refresh rate >it's e-Ink >implying that a god damned paperback novel has a 'refresh rate' >stupid fucking people will be the death of us all
Still not fast enough for video, but these ain't you grandad's e-ink displays.
Angel Johnson
>hur dur chinks can't innovate >all these innovations to make an eink display usable Thanks for the thread, Satan.
Lucas Morris
Satanic ones at that, kudos.
David Taylor
I can't see myself using this monitor, but I'm pumped that eInk is getting pushed forward. It felt like the refresh rate was getting stuck, but these guys are changing the game.
I'm just waiting to be able to buy a $500 note taking tablet that updates fast enough. The Sony one is not quite there yet.
Also I want to be able to read PDFs (academic papers) more easily and without printing. Please save me eInk
Daniel Turner
I would be incredibly interested in a color e-ink display of a much larger size and resolution. Can you even imagine programming with syntax highlighting on e-ink?
plasticlogic.com/ These guys already made colored /flexible/ eink screens years ago, but they haven't made it to production.
Colton Murphy
I'd replace my irc monitor with that in a heartbeat. Hell, I'd want that for reading comics too. Why are all the available electronic paper tablets so tiny? I want more space for more words and better sized comics. Have you ever tried reading textbooks on a kindle or a nook? Shit's too tiny.
Cooper Green
>Why are all the available electronic paper tablets so tiny? Because anything bigger cost more and have more flaws.
Adam Brooks
this is good if you are prone to dry eyes
Grayson Reyes
what are the power requirements like on eink compared to tft or lcd? Going to be living off batteries and solar soon, this could be pretty useful to me.
Brandon Jenkins
Amazingly low, eink readers with the wifi off can be used for a month with a few hours of use daily

>eink readers with the wifi off can be used for a month with a few hours of use daily
Last I checked, the ereaders that advertise as rated to last a month on full charge assume only a half-hour of reading per day, which is bullshit because nobody reads for only a half-hour a day then stops. Don't fall for the month-long battery meme, it's misleading.
I'm not the guy you were responding to, BTW.
William Davis
I'd get this if it was a laptop
Austin Harris
and with crippling refresh rate and screen artifacts
good job, Sup Forums
John Brooks
Put this on a lap top and do terminal text editor work the battery will last forever.
Also if you want web go full stallman and only look at stuff your rss script scraped for you.
Jaxson Gomez
Those Sharp Memory TFT LCDs seem to be only available in sizes under 4", used mostly by Pebble for their smartwatches.
Grayson Martinez
This is really good
Of course the tech is meh now, but I'm glad they're working on improving on it. Anyone who thinks e-ink is a meme is a goddamned retard.
Jack Long
Nice but 800 is pricey.
You could setup a raspberry pi or something and use it as a mobile computer for work. Assuming you dont work in pictures or video.
Jeremiah Harris
They only use power when something on the screen changes
Charles Long
The new Kindle Oasis has a behemoth of a battery in the battery cover, literally lasts a month even with 2-3 hours of use a day.
Ryan Powell
Same here man, this shit is godsend.
Aiden Clark
>USB connection, non-standard >needs proprietary tools just to set resolution Yeah, what the fuck is this shit? Can you even use this monitor when you're installing an OS?
I'll be interested when it's with a DisplayPort connector - and maybe $150. A separate power adapter brick might be alright, but I'd prefer to just have a power cable instead of USB.
Luis Stewart
Bigger than people claiming javascript isnt good?
Charles Watson
