Nice, they have a video of playing Return of the Obra Dinn on the screen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClK8lDJWJcw

The ghosting in that video is unbelievably strong. To the degree that I'd consider that unplayable. It's certainly not the experience the dev intended (given how much effort they put into the moire shader).

Is refresh rate necessarily tied to ghosting? Like higher refresh rate also means higher ghosting?

Another gameplay video I'd recommend seeing is Blanc: https://www.youtube.com/live/9PAKPfHBa5Q?feature=shared&t=11...

That game is beautiful, more so on the eink display...

Clearly there are some issues with ghosting?

I suppose if we are at comparable refresh rates to LCDs, next metric to compare against is response time? I see significant amount of trailing while scrolling.

Response time is on par with LCDs - the trailing you’re seeing is ghosting, which in most situations is not common but does occur occasionally.

This looks too cool not to mess with - looking forward to some fun projects in the new year.

Can you stick it into type-c of macbook air and work on a sunny outside environment?

I want color!

The thought of high response high resolution passive lit screens appeals.

Our driver board works with color e-ink screens.

I wish e-paper would soon reach the realm of my wallet.

Sick and tired of seeing really neat announcements with pricing out-of-bounds for hobbyists.

(At least those who aren’t prepared to spend thousands just to experiment with a new toy screen)

Fun that this is getting the attention it deserves. I order the kit and am excited to get it.

Don't want 75Hz or even 10Hz from my Epaper. Want a maximum battery life, 1Hz is plenty

What if the dream is to replace all display in your life with e-paper? Since variable refresh rate is getting ever-so-standardized, we could have the whole spectrum :)

“I would say instead of our secret sauce, we have open sauce,” says cofounder Alexander Soto. “You don’t even need to use the panel we’re offering. You could use a different panel and still get [75 Hz].”

Also, new battery tech quadruples energy density, and new discovery brings us 10 years closer to fusion energy. More news at 10.
