I just remembered I have a monitor stand in my closet that came with my desk, never opened…so now I’m going to go down a monitor rabbit hole

Yeah, it’s a very slow and niche market (at least for android eink tablets).
I heard that color tech sacrifices on resolution. At least when I was buying my BOOX onyx.
IIRC I learned from technology connections that the refresh rate isn’t a limitation of eink displays, but rather a limitation of the processors.
This makes sense as most eink tablets use a cheap low power processor since you’re reading books you don’t need a high refresh
On a other note, I just realized I found technology connections because of his coverage of eink tablets

I like to sleep watching videos from Dan Bell’s Dead Mall series. Don’t ask. Those empty places, muffled vaporwave music and his calm narration makes me fall asleep quick.

That goes in the tech gore thread

I try not to do it, but if I do I just put on my TWS earbuds, put the phone face down on my night stand and listen to something. Sometimes I listen to videos aswell, if I gauge that from the title they’re not gonna need much in the way of watching.

A based channel. I love his dry approach. It is so campy. I have been watching him since the beginning. Who knew mundane things could be so damn interesting.
They do in color mode, but the Karta can fall back to B/W and give back the missing resolution. Basically in B/W mode they tend to be 600dpi but in color they range from 300 - 320dpi. There is a new eInk based on a slurry technique that can be promising but so far the execution has been mostly software issues. If you look at the Good eReader channel, they cover everything new and in the works.
They are so far the hands down best implementation of color and eReaders and Note takers. I like the Sony and Fujitsu offerings from a pure note taker because they are the most polished but they require a PC to use software to get things on and off of them. I use GNU/Linux so anything that ties me to a PC (especially MS Windows and MacOS) is a hard pass. “Do you guys not have phones…”

Those are oddly interesting. They sometimes give me nightmares though.
Ranch makes everything taste better. That is the only way that I can stomach all of these high computer part prices. /s

Oh that’s interesting. I considered the karta, but ended up passing on it because it was too much and the tech was still too new. I think I will get a more mature version once my onyx dies
They are already on version 2.5. Pandemic slowed things down but we should see some high DPI models next year.

I just… hold my phone xD I went from a laptop on a side table, to connecting my PC to my TV opposite my bed and controlled it with my Steam Controller, then when I moved to my new flat I just used my phone

I don’t. My bed has only two uses : sleeping and having sex. I do not even go into my bedroom unless I need to do one of those two things or clean it.
When I was a kid, though, I used to read books before going to sleep. The nice thing is they aren’t very heavy and do not need to be charged or plugged into anything.

I’ve been enjoying this setup. Great for reading/watching videos
