#42Earlier quoted context omitted.
Can you share a screenshot/mockup of how that was supposed to look?
Sure. This is pretty close to what I had: https://github.com/noblethrasher/typography/blob/master/fs-t... (the typeface is Adobe Garamond Pro). But, it would be nice if VS supported italics, various font weights, and small caps.
Wow, that looks way better than I thought it would. I'm saddened to hear that after all the effort into the new VS text system it isn't capable of doing all you wanted.

#43I've been looking for an e-ink like monitor for years. The bright light from todays screens has a strong hypnotising effect, that ruins your concentration and makes you more awake at night.

#45I'd love to eventually see a low-end Chromebook built around one of these displays. You're already volunteering for a limited experience in exchange for convenience there, and I can see the battery life outweighing the negatives with the display. (And you probably have a phone or tablet with a higher resolution screen in your pocket/bag/whatever anyway.)
Obviously it's cost prohibitive right now, but as throwawaymsft said earlier it's very likely the price would plummet at scale. Clearly it would need to if the display is to find a market, and I expect they know that.

#47Impressive refresh rate! I'd love to try using an IDE such as Eclipse on such a screen. I suppose IDEs can have an e-ink mode where instead of colors, they use multiple fonts, italics, bold fonts, and other decorators to highlight syntax.
> Impressive refresh rate!
YES, but sadly you can see afterimages, or image burn on the screen, I hope they have some self erase/calibration procedure buildin.

#48A monitor like this would be the end-all-be-all for my
scientific workflow woes. The paper du jour on the e-ink and the journal and ipython on what I call "the lightbulb" (read: TFT).
I have already been fantasising about and doing a spot of research into building one on my own by using an Arduino (I wouldn't need as high a refresh rate as this little marvel) and one of PervasiveDisplays'[0].
I gave up convinced there was no sane way to actually connect this contraption to my laptop, and the USB solutions mentioned below do not instill hope.

They seem to be doing a bit of open-source advocacy, too: http://repaper.org

#49(semi-offtopic) Isn't there some kind of glass slab that turns any light emitting display into a color e-ink like display? Isn't there a theoretical model at least?

#50In the past,the niche in the population who suffers headache/nausea/etc from lcd refresh rate would have loved this.
But some lcd makers solved this, like viewsonic in[1], so this niche is gone.
