I had an RK3188 tablet in the form of a Chuwi V88. It wasn't all that impressive so I hope that Onyx can optimize things better than Chuwi did.
I'd like to use mine for more than just reading. Browsing, note-taking, mind-maps, flash cards, pdfs with notes, all going at the same time. I hope they also do a smaller size ereader that can replace my T68+. |

Also interesting: Nate from dig.ereader and skynet84 who both own the Paperlike Pro seem to have different opinions. According to Nate, there's a chance the MaxPro might be faster whereas skynet84 who's made a video review seems to be surprised by the 'huge" delay on theMaxpro in this thread https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...96#post3600996 I assume we just have to wait for new info and videos for a proper comparison Last edited by tracey1; 10-30-2017 at 04:01 PM. |

I dont think so. From what I:ve read the implementation of a frontlight in large e-readers (10'' and up) is too complicated. But personslly Im not bothered by this.

In other terms, A2 is the way the dots are managed, electronically; the Floyd dithering is how the software on top decides to distribute the black and white. Check that NXP document, it's interesting. Quote:
EDIT: Initially, I thought they were using a 4-shades technique, akin to A2. And looking at the screenshot again, it does look like that. But histograms show that all the range may be used - although the video conversion could have auto-interpolated the shot. I used 2160p to get a good idea. You would need real life experience to check. Yes, the current info about the Max 2 HDMI does hardly stand. But again, if any further demo from the Dasung show a comparable ~800 lag, even half of that, there is something odd with the current technology; if not, with the Taiwan demonstration.

You mean the supposition that it's based on dithering or that it's some type of hybrid A2 mode ? Last edited by tracey1; 11-06-2017 at 10:07 PM. |

Which "speed" are you referring to? If the Max Carta renders A2 pages using the Floyd-Steinberg, as it looks, the rendering speed remains 125ms (or 8fps, the official speed of A2 mode for e-ink screens) and the time cost to apply the algorithm is negligible - the whole page rendering of A2 on the Max Carta seems to take 125ms. I never measured it, I saw no need - it looks as fast as it should. If you refer to page rendering - I am not informed of any mode faster than A2. As I wrote earlier (26 Oct), the "Floyd mode" of the Dasung looks 125ms, 8fps - I counted the devices's screen updates in the frames in the video posted by Skynet84. Quote:
One (the second) rearranges values so that ██▇▆▅▄▃▂▁▁ is made to be ███▁█▁█▁▁▁ instead of █████▁▁▁▁▁ , the other one (the first) excludes that passing through London to reach Paris from Rome is a good idea. I do not know what Floyd-Warshall is doing there. If it were A2, you should only see black dots and white dots. Skynet84's video, in the "Floyd mode" part, seen in detailed zoom in its highest resolution version, does not seem to only display black and white dots. |

Oh THIS is amazing. This fast? We will at least get detailed videos from somewhere soon (oh gee this sounded so fanboi).
Fgdas, if it delays we will blame it on you. ; ) Last edited by mdp; 11-07-2017 at 01:25 AM. Reason: So amazing I forgot the verb |

Are you saying both the Max Carta and the Dasung (Floyd mode) have an equally fast performance ? ( I hope you are but I dont think you are) But if you are, then it doesn't explain why people are criticizing the slow response time of the Max Carta 1. I assumed the Floyd Steinberg was a newly implemented algorithm only used in the Max 2 pro. If it has already been used in the previous Max, I don't consider this good news because it would mean that they didn't find a way to match the Dasung Floyd Mode which some reviewers like Nate or skynet84 seem to be so complimentary about. - Unless of course the hmdi connection is the one thing that makes for the crucial difference and the reason why the paperlike pro appears to be faster - could that be it ? I doubt that but if that were the case, it would mean the Max 2 Pro will be able to act just as fast as the Dasung pro anyway. Which would be great news. Then I wonder why Goodereader would refer to it as a "Hybrid A2 Mode". Maybe they just made a mistake Last edited by tracey1; 11-07-2017 at 07:50 PM. |

I am also excited about upcoming 10.3'' Note device. It seems like a good compromise, and value for money.
Max 2 seems great but the price tag is quite steep. On the other hand, Note has the same processor, Android 6 and hdmi which seems like a mini Max 2 version without couple extras. I don't know what the price will be but based on N96 and Max prices I expect something between 400-500 euros including taxes, probably closer to 500. That would be a good deal. Matching price with Remarkable would be a mistake I think, since they will be different devices created for different purposes. 10.3'' is quite enough for me tbh, even for mirroring computer/display with couple font size and other tweaks should be more than enough for writing/programming. I had 9.7'' e-reader before and it was enough for me for every pdf, I don't need 13.3'' for pdf (don't get me wrong, it's nice to have more screen space but imho not worth the price). I like that Note's screen is flash with the bezel, anyone who used e.g. Voyage knows that it makes quite the difference. Shame there is no frontlight but I assume it's needed to bring down the price tag. The first news about Note didn't say anything about hdmi (in March I think..) so it's nice that Onyx decided to add it later. I think it shows that they listen to customers/market. Let's hope that they don't jump the gun as usual and offer a polished product |
