E-Ink Monitors

I feel like they would be absolutely terrible since even scrolling would be impossible due to the slow refresh rates and you wouldn't be able to use websites that update as you browse.

Why would anyone want this? Are you on PCP?

You can scroll with page up/page down, then it jumps through entire "scrollable".

will be nice once the technology catches up.

I remember reading that Qualcomm had some kind of e-ink like colour display.

The e-ink refresh rate isn't as big of a hurdle as people sometimes think, it just means that it only appeals to a certain group of people. I find it very comfortable to play music, write and muck around using the terminal on my kindle keyboard. You just can't watch videos, but for most people it wouldn't be their media consumption display so it's still an interesting proposition.

Eye strain is a fucking myth, I've been looking at monitors all day every day for the last 15 years and my eyes are just fine you homo.

I want a 120hz e-ink screen. I doubt we'll ever get them though. Even a 30hz would be nice to start.

That's not even how eink works retard. It only redraws sections of the screen when necessary.

Your experience isn't everyone's experience. It is much more pleasant for me to look at a surface bouncing light diffusely instead of straight into a polarised very blue light source with a thin film doing a mediocre job of stopping certain light from passing through.

OLED more or less makes e-ink moot though.

Why can't they make it redraw sections of the screen faster?

>>57970689
are you sure, i think i might be going blind.

I would buy a few if the refresh rate gets better, they must be super comfy for programming and displaying data.

neither of those are accurate

the limit isn't the drive electronics, and localized drawing is only relevant for power saving

the issue is how long it takes the pixels to change from one state to another, you could run them at 120hz, but you'll just end up with a blurry mess, as that's not nearly enough time for the pixels to change to the intended state every time, yet
