I would get one of them. Much of what I do on a second screen is just reading manuals or patents.

Initially I thought this would work great for development but then I thought of all the different colors in my IDE. Regardless I think this is an interesting idea to reduce eyestrain when looking at code, even if imperfect.

If they can produce a color one that is 65" or larger, then I'll buy it.

It looks like it accurately reproduces the visual experience of bad newspaper printing on cheap paper.

It could work if IDEs ever get richer typography.

I experimented with a monochromatic color scheme for my F# projects. Basically, I wanted the code to look like a page from a beautifully typeset math book. It got pretty close, but for want of italics, which VS does not support.

After a long day at work, I get home with my eyes "burned". I sit on the couch and the ceiling lamp hurts my eyes. I turn it off and can only stand the dim light. I think this monitor is perfect for people like me. (Recently started using f.lux, it's helping though)

The refresh delay makes scrolling reminiscent of Matrix's white rabbit scene: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Smwrw4sNCxE

You should go see an optometrist. This was me as well until about a month ago; turns out I am slightly farsighted and my eyes were straining to focus on my computer monitor all day. Now I wear an appropriate pair of computer/reading glasses and my eyes don't hurt anymore.

I love the idea of an e-ink monitor. This would be a great performance display for a headless server. Weather and news display connected to an arduino? Low power systems that expend just enough power to display some information then shutdown while allowing the display to retain its static display?

It might not be the most versatile of displays but use of this should really be in the "right tool for the right job" mindset.
