Get Ready for the Color E Ink Monitor That Finally Runs at 60fps - Yanko Design

E Ink displays have earned a devoted following among people who spend long hours reading or writing. The technology produces virtually no flicker, doesn’t use the same harsh backlight as a typical LCD or OLED, and is considerably easier on the eyes over extended sessions. The catch has always been speed; these screens refresh slowly, making them suitable for e-readers but impractical for real-time interaction.

Color E Ink made things more complicated. Adding a color layer came at the cost of even slower refresh rates, keeping these monitors firmly in the reading-only category for most users. Bigme’s B251 Pro takes direct aim at that limitation, pushing a 25.3-inch color E Ink screen to reach up to 60 frames per second, a meaningful first for this panel type.

This could be a compelling secondary display that primary focuses on text. I can imagine using it simply as a Claude window.
