Comment on Ask HN: Why are monitors matte and laptops glossy and not the other way around?

Comments

I often dream about a laptop with an e-ink display.

There are e-ink displays with colours, and there are e-ink displays with acceptable (to me) refreshrates (around 30hz). I'm not aware of any display that has both, but surely it will come.

Thing is, I don't think anyone will build a laptop with such a display, cause everyone is into selling sexy looking mirrors.

30Hz? Where?

Those cool epaper demos are almost always full of lies and half truths. A lot of them are actually just an lcd with an extra matte layer. I'd only trust what you can easily buy today to actually exist.
