Bigme introduces a color e-ink monitor that could reportedly hit 60 FPS — 25.3-inch display will come with a 3200 x 1800 resolution and support for 4096 colors
This is the first e-ink monitor that can hit 60 FPS, making it useful in more tasks outside of just reading. While you likely won't be able to play fast-paced games on this display, it should still make other everyday tasks on it easier while reducing eye strain.
Advances in e-ink technology are reaching a point where higher refresh rates and color fidelity are becoming commercially viable for display applications beyond static text.
This development could significantly broaden the applications for e-ink displays, potentially improving accessibility and reducing eye strain for prolonged digital work.
The previous limitation of e-ink to slow refresh rates and grayscale is being overcome, enabling its use in more dynamic computing tasks and professional environments.

- · Users prioritizing high-fidelity gaming displays
The product introduces color e-ink displays with usable refresh rates to the consumer and professional market.
Increased adoption of e-ink monitors could lead to a shift in display preferences for certain computing tasks, prioritizing eye comfort and power efficiency.
Further improvements might position e-ink as a viable, low-power display alternative in new form factors or off-grid computing solutions.
