Serious question: wouldn't just turning preferences of a normal monitor to black/white give you the same result? And is e-ink really better for eyes? Not sure I've seen research in this regard.
- avar 5y agoIt's not remotely the same thing. If you haven't looked at an E-Ink display try tearing a page from a magazine or newspaper and comparing that to reading the same size of font on your laptop or PC. E-Ink is practically indistinguishable from reading a physical piece of paper, whereas the backlight alone from an LCD eventually gets tiring to stare at. Another huge difference is being able to use E-Ink displays in direct sunlight.
- dkdbejwi383 5y agoThe main difference is that there is no backlight, so it's more comparable to a piece of paper (reflective light source) than a light bulb (direct light source)
- lopis 5y agoE-Ink doesn't emit light. There's lots of research that shows problems with looking at light-emitting screens all day.
- reacharavindh 5y agoInteresting question. Now, I’m curious myself. True that LCD panels need backlight and may not be true equivalent in black& white mode. However, we have many OLED panels now. Would OLED panels in black & white work for this case?
