Anyone here coding on a Pixel Qi screen? The OLPC in reflective monochrome mode looks nearly as sharp as e-ink but refreshes at 60Hz. This is a 7.5 inch scree

  I really wish there were more screens like the Pixel Qi. If it was an option for my laptop I'd buy it right away. Pixel Qi's big problem as I see it is that they can't seem to get their production up to speed. The few (two?) options they have are so outdated they really only make sense on the OLPCs. Except of course that they are rather pricy at 275 USD. And if you're going to use the screen entirely in monochrome anyway, what you really need is just the LCD stripped of the color filter and the backlight replaced with a simple mirror. Should be much cheaper than what PixelQi is doing. I'm even tempted to try this as a DIY project at some point. That would be a nice monitor for coding on.
