I wish those e-ink monitors didn't look so much like children's toys- I'd love to pick one up. In 20 years, I think we'll look back at LCD/OLED monitors like how we currently look back at CRT/pre-CRT monitors, and wonder how on earth we stared at bright configurations of tiny lights for 10+ hours a day. Transflexive LCDs are, in my opinion, the future: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transflective_liquid-crystal_display https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transflective_liquid-crystal_d.... I can't wait until phones/watches/laptops start using these. My eyes will be very happy when that day comes.

The OLPC's Pixel-Qi screen (listed in that Wikipedia article) was fantastic when in its black & white mode. It looked like e-ink and refreshed at 60Hz. Apparently the company died in 2015 though :(

  > The OLPC's Pixel-Qi screen (listed in that Wikipedia article) was fantastic when in its black & white mode. I'm sorry, but that's terribly inaccurate. I have a OLPC and the screen is poor. It is grainy and has a mesh like appearance to it in both color and transflective grayscale mode. > It looked like e-ink and refreshed at 60Hz. Apparently the company died in 2015 though :( The P-Qi screen refreshes fast, but it looks nothing like a kindle panel.
