Digital art displays often promise elegance but end up behaving like miniature televisions; they can be bright, attention-seeking, and oddly distract from the artwork they’re supposed to celebrate.
The InkPoster Tela, a 28.5-inch colour ePaper frame from Swiss outfit InkPoster, is the first display I’ve tested that feels genuinely crafted for art rather than entertainment. I wrote some of my early thoughts on the InkPoster Tela previously, but after living with it for several weeks, I’m convinced the Tela isn’t trying to be a screen at all. It’s trying to be a picture frame, and succeeds with conviction.
