A slightly more accessible option right now is an AMOLED screen. If you work on applications with a black background, like a terminal or a text editor, it has some of the same benefits. Namely, there's no backlight as individual pixels get lighted on their own.
Sadly, AMOLED hasn't progressed as quickly as we expected and big screens are both rare and expensive. Besides, eInk has some advantages like lower energy consumption.
- carlmr 6y agoIf you don't care too much about the vibrant colors and viewing angles of IPS and OLED, I can recommend VA screens. They have far better contrast than IPS. The black is indeed black. I find it great for working in dark mode on text. However the colors and viewing angles are a trade-off. Although I find the viewing angles are still better than TN and can be somewhat mitigated with a curved screen. I personally use a curved 32" 4K VA screen. The resolution, text size and contrast make this great for text heavy work.
- pastrami_panda 6y agoI agree about what you said, I've been on ultra wide 21:9 VA with 1500R curve for a couple of years and it's been really good. I am curious about the new 1000R displays though, at first it seemed like a gimmick - but it totally makes sense curving the screen so much in order to diminish or even radicate the need to refocus your eyes as they look across the panel. But I haven't had a chance to try it out in person yet due to the current times. Anyone here on ultra wide 1000R?

- nathcd 6y agoThis seems like an interesting site, but that is by far the most off-putting and manipulative text I've ever seen on a cookie notice. > We know having to press this sucks, but unless we see a decentralized Web 3.0, some elements on our site are cookies baked by others that could track you. You have to put up with this, otherwise, might as well shut yourself out of the world. edit: tyler109 - given that you've linked that site 11 times so far in this thread, I'm guessing you're affiliated with or run that site? If so, might I ask that you edit the cookie text to not be so... bad? Or much better, add a button to it to let readers opt out of the pointless tracking? Also, if you are affiliated with it, could you maybe disclose it in some of the comments where you link to it?

- GordonS 6y agoI know little about the details of display technology - do you have any info/links about this breakthrough?
- baybal2 6y agoLast public publication 2011: https://www.nature.com/articles/nphoton.2011.295 https://www.nature.com/articles/nphoton.2011.295 Then they go dark for 9 years And almost 10 years later, bang: https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-quantum-dot-successor-qned-production-2021/ https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-quantum-dot-successor... It takes a company like Samsung to singlehandedly pursue a pie in the sky science institute level project for 10 years before even a mere prospect of commercial returns emerges.
