Am I one of the few here who have already got an E Ink Display for coding?
I use Onyx Boox 13,3" Boox Mira.
But the refresh rate can be an issue.
Mouse dragging feels so different that I prefer not to use the mouse and only rely on keyboard.
If it fits your workflow then the refresh rate won't be an issue.
- Tepix 3y agoI tried using the Onyx Boox Max Lumi 13.3" as a monitor and did not like it. Too much ghosting.
- dredmorbius 3y agoOnyx BOOX Max Lumi (a rev or two earlier than yours), also 13.3". Changing the display mode can have a big impact on display quality / refresh rates, though unfortunately it is a trade-off. I much prefer apps and activities which focus on whole-screen rewrites or paginated navigation. Termux does reasonably well, all told, but I'd probably not be as happy with a GUI desktop unless it were a fairly static tiled window manager, and largely keyboard-driven. Refresh rates under speedier display modes can display video, though it's hardly stellar quality. More an "it's there if you really need it" than a "this will sell you on the device" thing. (Notetaking capabilities are more the latter --- I'd had really no interest in that when purchasing my tablet, it's turned out to be quite useful and usable.) General principles for e-ink displays: Persistence is free, pixels are cheap, paints are expensive, viewability increases rather than decreases as ambient lighting increases, and colours are usually nonexistent or at best limited when available at all.
