[@SkepticalCaveman]

Great for some use cases, but it uses much more electricity than E-ink. I had a Pixel Qi screen over 10 years ago and it also had the ame limitation of having to constantly refresh the screen even if it displays a static image. This is a low power consumtion monitor alternative to an LCD in a office enviorment rather than a e-ink replacement. This screen is great for work and browsing, OLED is great for video and games and e-ink is great for reading text and watching static images.

[@JINNY-dl5yk]

the only screen that doesn't refresh and hence minimize eye strain is the e-ink right?..

[@yensteel]

Mostly agree, they all overlap in someways yet have a distinguishing, advantageous feature. T-lcd looks best for general computing in outdoor uses. E-ink’s home territory is reading.

[@christill]

It’s interesting but I’d say for me, the biggest issue with LCD is the constant refreshing rather than the backlight. But it’s definitely cool.

[@MsLukhach]

Hello, can you tell me, this monitor vs Eyemoo S1? Which is better? This backlight is better front light on S1 for eye? Thanks

[@dcpowered]

This looks like a major breakthrough! Hopefully, new e-paper tablets will use this tech very soon!!

[@JoeAnshien]

Would have liked to see it with some reading apps like Kindle or Kobo in B+W. An Android 7" tablet version would be really nice to try out.

[@baltgames1]

I don't get it how it works and how this monitor protect eyes

[@kenshinbattousai374]

It doesn't have to emit light, but rather reflects it. This means you can actually see the display pretty cleanly with no backlight and room light only, not to mention being very easily readable in direct sunlight.

[@alrightride]

I wish they had made this an actual monitor size so that I could use it for work. I love the concept, but it needs to be much bigger (25') to be usable for everyday.

[@iaceka13yd]

Hmm. What happened withh clear ink in that area?

[@whiteglitch]

why colors are so washed out ?

[@CyrilJap]

He should have tested it outside too.

[@SanderEvers]

They turned the backlight off, using indirect light has some trade-offs.

[@yensteel]

It is a trade off, the monitor depends on reflected light. In traditional LCD, the backlight is insanely bright, which gets a lot more muted when it passes through the LCD panel. That helps LCD monitors get high contrast ratios and saturation. The color filter is thick and dense on LCDs, and can control how much it blocks or allows. Pure white = let bright light in, black = block all of it. On R-LCD, they need to show colors and black/white while also letting light pass through twice, in and out. It’s like a transparent color film you can buy in a stationary store. If you get a transparent red sheet and place it on a white paper, it will look pink. A less transparent red one, it would look crimson dark red. Since light is bounced everywhere, it could mess with the image clarity; something r-lcd has made strides in solving. Don’t worry, as an engineering challenge, it will get better but slowly. 1080p is an impressive achievement imo, and it seems that it's easier to make larger monitors than shrink them down without compromise.

[@MrDangerousshark]

Crazy that this comes out the same day as Linus does a video on rLCD

[@goodereader]

No relation, we have nothing to do with Linus Tech and we had this video uploaded 3 days ago, we were just waiting for eazeye to give us the go-ahead so we don't mess up anything in regards to their Indiegogo campaign

[@yensteel]

Same here. There's some suspicious rivalry between the monitor companies. I hope these two companies do well and carve a path forward to eye friendly computing. Laptops, tablets, if only if the general public can appreciate the benefits. Edit for clarity.

[@goodereader]

Uhhh no They have 12,000,000 subscribers We have 130,000 There is no rivalry and we aren't even in the same league Also, instead of speculating, how about you read what we literally just wrote above this comment

[@yensteel]

Apologies, I mean Eazeye and Sunvision.

[@goodereader]

Yes, we'd like to squash any suspicions, but yes, we have nothing to do with that company There possibly could be competition between the two screen technologies

[@Osmic5]

Eye strain has nothing to do with blue light nor led light as such. It is caused either by PWM flicker or some other form of flicker like temporal dithering. If this display has temporal dithering, it will strain the eyes exactly as any backlit LCD

[@imnotusingmyrealname4566]

Interesting. How about contrast? Does flickering increase with higher contrast settings?

[@thomase13]

Not true!

[@YotamGuttman]

4:07 😳 what's this menu typeface?? it's so ugly what did they think choosing this? they'd better go with Arial really
