> I think this e-ink technology will never catch on for monitors, because there is just too much lag and ghosting. I think RLCD (like the Hisense Q5), which is much more fluid and has no ghosting is the way to go.
3 year lifespan isn’t a deal breaker for me. But ghosting of mouse cursor and refresh rate might be for existing options. Still researching but the parent post’s tech seems to solve the ghosting and refresh rate issue of traditional eink but alas they don’t have a dumb monitor product.
It's not really e-ink, it's more like transflective LCD, you can buy entire screens from guys like SunVision, LTT did a thing: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=c0TcGjzKbag
yeah, I tried that once and instantly realized the magnitude of information that is conveyed via color alone by syntax highlighting. Color is mandatory for me
