It's not at this large scale, but I have an Onyx Lumi, and somehow my favourite thing about it is that I changed all the lock screens to pictures from the Moomins, and it sits on a stand on my office desk [1].
The Lumi is capable of playing video in e-ink, and I actually had a desire to see a classic newspaper like this, but with small videos instead of images, I love that old new tech concept as simple as a newspaper with moving images (on click probably, more than constantly aminating).
I also use it daily as a practical device and it's only a 13" size (A4), so substantially smaller, but people would still question how much I paid, and probably question me even harder if they new I'd also got a ReMarkable 2 on pre-order.
I just love the aesthetic of e-ink so much. I previously submitted a post about the Dasung Paperlike monitor[2], and I actually bought it years ago and sold it because I couldn't handle the refresh rate, but I was interested to see they are still going and still the best in class for that use-case. The Onyx Lumi actually also works as a second monitor so my dream of working outside on sunglasses might still happen.
I love this use of e-ink as wall art, and I have hoped for years the technology could become more ubiquitous outside of e-readers.
