🔍 Summary:
Onyx International has launched a new $1,900 color E Ink monitor, the Boox Mira Pro, designed to connect to PCs and Macs. This 25.3-inch monitor, featuring a 3200×1800 resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio, utilizes E Ink Kaleido 3 technology capable of displaying up to 4,096 colors. However, the color quality and refresh rates are variable and generally lower compared to traditional monitors, with increased refresh speeds leading to more ghosting.
The Boox Mira Pro includes multiple connectivity options such as a full-size HDMI port, a mini HDMI port, a USB-C port, and a DisplayPort. It also comes with a stand similar to Apple’s Studio Display and supports VESA mounting. This product expands Onyx’s existing line of Android-powered E Ink tablets, which are known for their eye-friendly text display, long battery life, and access to Google Play, offering a broader range of content sources compared to other e-readers.
While color E Ink technology is still developing and involves compromises like washed-out colors and low refresh rates, Onyx is among the few companies venturing into this market. The Boox Mira Pro competes with similar products like Dasung’s $2,000 color E Ink monitor but boasts a more attractive design.
Potential buyers in the US should be aware of possible tariffs on imported goods from Onyx’s Hong Kong warehouse, as current trade policies may affect the final cost. The situation regarding tariffs is subject to change and varies by product category.
