Have you also looked at reflective lcd monitors like for example those from https://eazeye.com ? Too expensive or other issues? (I’ve been trying to not try RLCD for a while, so curious.)

amyhoy.bsky.social•71 days ago

i'm very interested but what i really want at first is a portable black & white screen

tvdv.bsky.social•71 days ago

Yeah, I also don’t see the need for color for something like this, but apparently we’re a minority.

amyhoy.bsky.social•71 days ago

well you can buy the hisense q5 in europe!

tvdv.bsky.social•71 days ago

Looks like you could and it has now been discontinued.

amyhoy.bsky.social•71 days ago

they said it was discontinued and then they brought it back again!

but you could always get it secondhand. it can be rooted and updated.

amyhoy.bsky.social•71 days ago

it's an android tablet but also usable as a screen.

it seems to have the nicest contrast of all the options

Similar, you might be interested. I saw their booth on Saturday at the #SXSW Innovation Awards! https://daylightcomputer.com/

it looks really pretty but it's very expensive and extremely limited

I think these folks on eBay will sell you one. Don't quote me on it, tho.

they’re not in the US. i’ve been using ebay since the 90s. it’s rude to assume people don’t know basic skills

lapsome.com•71 days ago

Is it?

amyhoy.bsky.social•71 days ago

does greater china sound like they’re in the US to you

lapsome.com•71 days ago

Standard Shipping FROM Greater China TO WORLDWIDE includes the US, last time I checked.

amyhoy.bsky.social•71 days ago

i’ve said the words “IN the US” every single time

not “nobody ships to the US”

nobody sells it IN the US

i even asked you if china is IN the US and you still can’t seem to get it
