Wow, I guess I've been out of the loop for a while. I had no idea e-ink technology had progressed even to 30Hz. I thought it was still very slow, too slow to even try to display any sort of animation, limiting it too e-readers like Kindles. I just watched a video comparing it with the Color Kaleido 3, and yeah, it does appear fast enough.
- hellotheretoday 3y agoI’ve posted this before but I have a android tablet with a kaleido 3 panel, a boox ultra tab C. It’s a ~10” panel. It can refresh fast enough to playback YouTube videos and such but I can’t imagine using it as a monitor. The color palette is seriously limited and ghosting is noticeable. It works well for e reading manga, books, and comics in my opinion with a specific workflow that involves regularly fully refreshing the screen to eliminate ghosting/retention. But using it as a monitor is absurd unless they’ve made some serious headway in software around the limitations of the panel. The refresh is there but there are serious compromises they aren’t talking about
- trealira 3y agoThanks for the clarification. So, it's not usable as a monitor. It's still ahead of where I thought it was, but I guess that's just on me for not keeping updated.
- hellotheretoday 3y agoI mean it technically works but if you pay $1500 or whatever they want for it I’m sure you will end up disappointed unless they’ve done some serious software magic
