Do share a screenshot if you do. What refreshrate do you have on that display?

I think, in case of e-Ink photo is much more informative, as screenshot takes data from frame buffer and didn't take screen technology in account.

:P lol indeed a screeshot would be full color

Perhaps I can place the monitor on my scanner and take a “screenshot” that way xD

Re: refresh rates I can’t find a good stat with a brief googling but it’s a Boox Mira, E Ink VB3300-NCD

You can tolerably watch video so somewhere north of 20fps but there’s ghosting. A friendly button on the front of the display is there to do a hard refresh if the artifacts build up too much. But yes I should do a comparison on how different desktop environments do, with animations turned off etc, scrolling that jumps line by line like vim or eMacs will work better than smooth scrolling for instance.

I've tried smartphone with e-Ink (mostly for motorcycle and hiking navigation, not as daily driver) and know this problem — it is impossible to share this experience via screenshots or screen recordings :)
