Does anybody think having a gigantic e-ink desktop monitor would be rad for coding? The refresh rate might be a killer, but I wonder how your eyes would feel after 8 hours compared to an conventional monitor.



You mean like the Dasung Paperlike[0]? Consensus from the writers I know is it's pretty awesome. Not a lot of programmers use them at this point because it's black and white, so there's no syntax highlighting. It's also powered and connected via USB, so there is a delay when typing fast that could drive some programmers crazy. It's about the same responsiveness as a regular monitor hooked up with a DVI to usb adapter.
