E-Ink Monitor
Hi fellas,
I have a Kobo Aura HD and ever since I had it, I've developed a phobia for LCDs with back-light to the point that I desist using my smartphone and hardly switch on my desktop computer. An e-ink display replacement for my computer monitor would be worth any amount of spending. I can easily adapt to the color blindness. But, does such a display even exist? Please advise!! |

No such thing as an eInk monitor exists. It would not be practical.

I don't see how it would be practical, with having to move the cursor all the time. The refresh rate is too slow.

But Linux doesn't work that way.

Will do, but at least a 14 incher would have been "perfect".
