> Despite Dasung's promises of "unbelievable refresh speed on Color E Ink" the video makes it appear as if the display's refresh rate might fall somewhere below 60Hz.
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.
I’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
Thanks 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.
I 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
