I was an early backer of their last USB based monitor, it is truly useless - very poor refresh rate, highly overpriced, poorly written drivers, clunky construction and the list goes on and on.... it ended up as quite a large waste of money.
However, I do hope that the new version will succeed, I love reading on eink screens and I truly wish I had a decent, high resolution / DPI, fast refreshing eink display that would take DisplayPort and 'just work'.
- xexers 9y agoObviously the refresh rate is the most painful part of these screens. Is there much hope they can improve that?
- cordite 9y agoHey a sibling backer! I agree, it quickly became a gimmick, and such has been face down on a counter top since I got it. It is slow, it seems to use more CPU, and the stand that came with it is a joke. At least they had VESA mounts on it, that kept me interested another week. One problem is that it gets this greasy look after an hour or so and you have to manually interact with it to clear it up with the buttons. It would be nice to use an existing display cable, HDMI, DP, whatever, and plug it in without a further thought. Let the GPU shuffle the bits around the wire.
