(not mine) was just checking what became of them and this review hit home I have no use for an android tablet like this, but as soon as they make a PC screen (either laptop or desktop) I'm pretty sure I'd buy one fast! Keep it up folks!

I turned my Daylight into a PC screen using this app, which worked like a charm: https://superdisplay.app/ https://superdisplay.app/

  That only works with Windows?

    There seem to be equivalent for linux (not tested) https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/use-tablet-or-phone-second-monitor-linux https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/use-tablet-or-phone-seco... That's an interesting idea! I'm a bit wary of latency if this all goes over wifi, but probably worth a try.

While I was looking up such screens, these also seem to sell "quick refresh" PC screens: https://shop.dasung.com/ https://shop.dasung.com/ Just did a quick search on HN and while it did get posted recent ones didn't get many comments, not many users perhaps? I'd be greedy and wish there was something in the middle (13 is tiny for desktop but there's no battery so it's not really laptop friendly; 25 is a bit too big for my desk), but perhaps...

  The Dasung monitors are cool, but those are actual Eink, whereas the Daylight tablet is LCD, so you'll have a wildly different experience between the two. There's a reflective lcd subreddit that discusses reflective lcd pc monitors, looks like at least one company is launching a commercial product soon.

    Are you aware of any specific direct comparisons? Video of same would be particularly illuminating, I think.

  I really hope to Modos e-ink display works out - https://www.crowdsupply.com/modos-tech/modos-paper-monitor https://www.crowdsupply.com/modos-tech/modos-paper-monitor They have their own FPGA based controller to enable much higher refresh rates and lower latency.

  If it were some more reasonable spec than 24" 1920 x 1080 I would be far more interested.

    It’s a hen and egg problem. There is little investment in the technology, because few people buy it. That being said, Full HD at that size (and even at 27”) is still a fairly common resolution on the desktop.

      It is still common, but there’s a reason that it only shows up on landfill-ready devices (unless you count high hz gaming monitors).
