Something like the Samsung Frame ? https://www.samsung.com/us/tvs/the-frame/highlights/
I wish this wasn’t so expensive. $600 for 32”, $1000 for 42, up to $2600
I'm curious what URL serves the current front page of a given newspaper though that you can point these at.
I can't help but notice you are using “ (U+201C : LEFT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK {double turned comma quotation mark}) instead of ″ (U+2033 : DOUBLE PRIME {seconds, inches}) in the headline.
I didn't know there was a Unicode code point for that! I'd always thought one should just use straight quotes for inches. Thanks!

Who is the target demo? I'm old enough to have had actual newspapers appear on my doorstep. I ever saw anyone mount them on a wall, at least not in a private home. I would think a table/tablet orientation would be more appealing than an awkward wall mount. Is this thing meant to be art, a bit of faux-nostalgia decoration?
I think it's clear this isn't supposed to solve a problem. The article describes it pretty clearly as more of an art piece than something of function. There are definitely people who would like this in their homes. Probably multiple.
I use a lot of Visionect products for quite a few years now. I have deployed easily hundreds to many many office environments as both digital signage and meeting room occupancy displays. They are a fantastic company. They have b2b direct brand called Joan, check out getjoan.com. I'm curious what URL serves the current front page of a given newspaper though that you can point these at.
I'm a news junkie, and the power and allure of a newspaper's front page have always fascinated me. When I stumbled upon an article written by a Google engineer who had built an e ink device with the front page of his favorite daily newspaper prominently displayed on his wall, I was a bit jealous. So, I worked with a e-ink company called Visionect in Slovenia to build a version that comes shipped ready to put on your…
I make a similar product, with a smaller screen and at a lower price point. It’s very cool what you have done, let’s maybe collaborate or join forces? My product is an e-paper calendar: https://shop.invisible-computers.com/products/invisible-cale...

> Why do larger e-ink screens cost more to produce? Last I knew the bulk of cost for e-ink displays was just due to the patent holders decision to charge a lot, which is disappointing, but can't go on that much longer...
This is a myth that people keep repeating. E-ink prices have very little to do with patents. E-ink displays are more expensive because they are utterly niche compared to LCD screens (there are over 6 billion smartphone users in the world right now, and plenty of people own a smartphone, laptop, desktop, TV, tablet, smartwatch, then use a computer at work, interact with a self-checkout kiosk at the supermarket, etc).…
Are (large) e-ink displays expensive because of lack of scale in manufacturing? Or is there something inherently expensive about them? This display is literally almost ten times the cost of a generic 4K monitor, which has color, a higher resolution, and a 60 hertz refresh rate. The only advantage here is the reflective display and the ultra-low power consumption. I'm not saying that there aren't use cases where those…
