What I'd really like is a 15" E-ink display with a good refresh rate. For coding and lookup up documentation at night or in the sun, that would be a pretty good setup.


Here you go. Not cheap. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/paperlike-world-s-first-e...


Wow. That's incredible - I'm amazed that they've got the refresh rate so low.


I'm guessing they're just using the standard VNC / RDP algorithm that only sends (ands therefore refreshes) parts of the screen that changed.

It's at best a 150ppi (1600x1200, 2000 pixels along the diagonal over 13") screen, lower resolution than the original Kindle.


Lag between keypresses and screen response would infuriate you, probably.
