- sho_hn 4y agoAbout $400 + shipping from Waveshare.
- user_7832 4y agoThanks for sharing the price. The build looks really good, but $400 is a bit steep for anybody on a budget. I think a good quality (high coverage and pixel density) LCD with auto-brightness would be economically competitive, though of course not really the same.
- shaunsingh0207 4y agoLook into memory reflective lcd's, doesn't look quite like e-ink (and for quite a few of them you have to resort to dithering instead of proper greyscale), but they're considerably cheaper and offer the same power benefits. Additional benefit is that they're quick to refresh, if you have an application that requires it. I have a calculator built with it, works perfectly.
- user_7832 4y agoThanks! I have a watch with that type of display, not sure why I’d forgotten about it.
- bostonvaulter2 4y agoAh, I see. I'm waiting for those to come down towards the $150 range before I'm likely to get one. But they look gorgeous.
