    Any mention of the refresh rate? I didn’t see that in this article and thats usually the downside. Completely fine for books, comics etc but maybe not the best for a computer monitor

      We can see it refreshing in the video, the “refresh rate” doesn’t look much better than an e-reader and the device is very expensive, but it’s the first of its kind. Honestly if it was the price of a regular OLED screen of 25" I’d consider buying it to code.

        Second on if affordable, I’d buy it… and I don’t even code much anymore. For anything that doesn’t need to be rapidly refreshed (I.E just about anything that’s not watching/editing videos or playing games), this will be so much more comfortable for extended use!

      There’s a video in the article that made it look reasonable for office work.

      Sadly, the technology stagnated for quite some time. This along with the physical nature of how the displays function (moving the pigment particles closer and further from the viewing plane) makes high refresh rates unlikely.

        I love how she’s watching YouTube in the thumbnail, doesn’t make any sense on an e ink display?
