Meh, I'm asking for color e-ink display suitable for vim and terminal usage. Doesn't even have to be a lot of colors.

- UnpossibleJim 4y agoLow powered color e-ink and portable is the way to go (readers, code stations). I think the hype (if there is even any) over rollable displays is vapor.
- nottorp 4y agoIf we're dreaming, how about an e-ink with black default for coding / terminals? Real, deep black. 16 colours will do for syntax highlighting. But it has to refresh much faster than current e-ink. Can't scroll through code at the speed a Kindle refreshes.
- rcarr 4y agoDo you need deep black/dark mode if the display isn’t projecting the light into your eyes? I feel like I could be fine going back to light mode on eInk or a projector. I can’t say that when I’m using my kindle that I miss there not being a dark mode because the reason I’m using dark mode on the other devices in the first place is no longer an issue with the kindle.
- xwdv 4y agoIt’s hard for me to take work seriously on a lighter screen. Black just looks way more expensive.
- nottorp 4y agoI started with text mode IDEs/editors 3 million years ago. On CRTs. Black background. I still think that's optimal. Probably just too used to it. I also miss my pet dinosaur. Besides, isn't it sad that there are only two display technologies that have black black nowadays? One is dead (CRTs) and one still has growing pains (OLED). There should be more.
- rcarr 4y agoI don’t know, I don’t really remember being blown away by CRT monitors back in the day or miss them in any way and I’ve not had an OLED device yet. I have dark mode on everything but can’t say I feel upset about what the blacks look like. Maybe ignorance is bliss.
