The e-ink review say the display has a dark purple color. How is your experience?
- blixt 2y agoI asked it to generate the weather for "The Purple Forest" (Narnia) and this is what it came up with: https://i.imgur.com/kmKiqbO.jpg https://i.imgur.com/kmKiqbO.jpg You can zoom in on the purples. I would say it looks like a wine purple IRL.
- dh-g 2y agoWow, these have come a long way.
- move-on-by 2y agoI’m sorry I was not very clear with my question. The review is negative- saying the ‘white’ is more like a dark purple color. I’m not asking how well it shows purple- but the general quality of the display itself.
- blixt 2y agoMy bad, I understand now! I think it's at least as good as a Kindle. I understand why someone who is comparing to bleached paper or OLED/modern LCD screens would say it looks purple, but yeah, I have no complaints. Edited to add: In the picture you can also see the white material at the bottom that is not part of the screen, I would say that is "true white". And the picture also has white pixels on the screen. That's the "dark purple" the review refers to in that case.
- nathancahill 2y agoYeah, that's pretty purple for white. But still amazing how far this tech has come.
- edpenz 2y agoThe black does have a purpleish tinge on my panels, but the other colours don't. Overall it's pretty low contrast and saturation, and unable to reproduce cyan or fuchsia even with blending through any kind of blending, which makes certain things like sky and water come through poorly. I made a palette for colour space conversions for reference: https://imgur.com/a/2vgFsT4 https://imgur.com/a/2vgFsT4
