I found this 10.3 inch monitor on their site, it's quite expensive though https://www.waveshare.com/product/displays/e-paper/eink-disp-103.htm?sku=17615 https:/

I wonder how well that works in practice. At 15hz refresh I think it’d be fine for vi.

  Somehow as I'm very used to respsonsiveness in vi, anything less would feel quite sluggish.

    Typing at 15hz would be miserable (personally).

  Not for me. I regularly have vi sessions running over 3-4 cascaded ssh sessions (and a couple VPN connections in there too). Its usable, but the delay messes with your brain if you are an experienced vi user.

    If the delay is consistent, it shouldn't be too bad. I spent 3 weeks on a business trip to Europe, when my devserver was in Sunnyvale, and did all my editing via ssh as I usually do (in joe, not vi, but pretty similar) and it was mostly fine --- I do recall doing some tunneling to reduce the latency a bit though. It was not as fine when they sent me to India with the same development setup, so there's a limit... But it's closer to 200ms than 100ms, so 15hz should be ok in my mind.

  In contrast with sibling comments, I think it would be just fine. VIM was designed for high latency, and even the modern versions do pretty well with a second or two of lag. Issue a command, wait for the response. The big thing is not depending on the screen keeping in perfect sync with your typing. I know this causes an issue for me when it's related to talking - an echo off by a hundred or more milliseconds will absolutely throw me off the rails - but it doesn't bother me so much when typing. A mental relic of writing code in terminals connected to distant servers, I'm sure.
