An E-ink desktop monitor isn't mad — and this wild Philips screen could prove it

E-ink displays are a fascinating mix of traditional life with technology, and I’ve always found them intriguing. From E-ink notebooks like the reMarkable 2 to ebook readers with E-ink displays like the Kindle Paperwhite, something is mesmerizing about the technology that recreates a texture as simple as paper.

I’ve wondered about other ways we could be using E-ink technology and whether or not companies like Apple could one day take a piece of the pie by making an iPad targeted at readers and handwritten notes because, let’s face it, software aside, writing on a Kindle Scribe rules. It looks like Philips has had the same thought and decided to add an E-ink display to the side of a computer monitor.
