I'd pay a lot of money for a decent E Ink monitor. I don't need color or high refresh rate. I do need it to "just work", be reliable and relatively big. The second step would be software support so that I could leave images on the screen when the computer is off. Stuff mentioned in the article is interesting, but it sounds like the quality is quite bad for all 3.

There's been recent mention of the... Onyx Boox Max2, as Google refreshes my memory. It can be used as a display via a simple HDMI connection. I read a few articles, and I'd like to try one, but I haven't convinced myself to put down $800 . Here's a googled link that my browser history says I've visited before: https://goodereader.com/blog/electronic-readers/onyx-boox-max2-pro-13-3-inch-e-reader-review https://goodereader.com/blog/electronic-readers/onyx-boox-ma... P.S. As I asked at the time, does anyone know the/a source for the panel? Although I guess the custom firmware and buttoned down access to same, may make getting a raw panel a non-starter. P.P.S. Duh. OP article mentions it. Anyway... still wondering where the panel comes from.

  I searched for a teardown, but only found one of the Dasung Paperlike Pro https://kevzettler.com/2018/02/11/dasung-paperlike-pro-teardown https://kevzettler.com/2018/02/11/dasung-paperlike-pro-teard... , but which helpfully links to a source for the panel. The biggest display they have seems to be a 42" monochrome display for $2000 https://shopkits.eink.com/product-category/e-ink-display-modules/15/ https://shopkits.eink.com/product-category/e-ink-display-mod...

    Thank you. At a first glance, that is an interesting/intriguing site. Note that it's another $500 for the controller module they recommend. (I know, I was asking after the Max2's raw panel. But in considering making one of the ones on this site work.) There's also a listing for a 31.2" panel capable of 4096 colors (per the description). $2300.
