In another comment response, I linked to some place (DASUNG) out of China that makes eInk monitors.

They make 25" eInk monitors in both black-and-white and color. That’s $1,500 and up, though.

Personally, for me, it wouldn’t make sense. The real selling point of eInk for me is:

And with that, you get drawbacks of having limited refresh rates, limited size, high price, and not being able to display brightly-lit, emissive stuff.

I mean, yes, eInk does look like paper, and if you’re really set on that particular aesthetic, then it’d have some value there. But for me, that value is just really limited. I mean, I used CRT text terminals for years. Yeah, it’d be kind of novel for text to look like it’s on paper, but it’s just not a game-changer.
