Boox, the maker of a few of the best ereaders and E Ink composing tablets, has actually simply revealed its very first color PC screen. Called the Boox Mira Pro, it utilizes a 25.3-inch E Ink Kaleido 3 display screen that imitates the appearance of paper– a screen innovation that’s currently in usage in a number of popular ereaders, consisting of the Kindle Colorsoft and the Kobo Libra Colour
Like ereaders, the Mira Pro is front lit instead of having backlighting like on LCD screens, with the capability to change both brightness and the light temperature level (warm or cold). There’s likewise a devoted refresh button to decrease ghosting which can be a significant issue on e-paper display screens. This paper-like panel will likewise minimize reflections and glare.
To strengthen its display qualifications, the Mira Pro likewise includes a set of integrated speakers and 5 ports, consisting of USB-C, HDMI, small HDMI and DisplayPort. You can likewise get a Mira Pro variation to support the running system you utilize, whether that’s Windows, Mac or Linux.
That’s about it for the Mira Pro’s primary qualifications, which is basically a color variation of the black-and-white Boox Mira that was introduced in 2023.
A simple read
I’m a big advocate of ereaders since of the E Ink screens they utilize, whether in grayscale or color. For devoted readers like me, they’re ‘simple on the eyes’, permitting you to check out right till bedtime. Would not it be good if there was a capable E Ink PC display that didn’t strain the eyes as much for the around 8 hours I invest working?
As a professional photographer, I would not utilize an E Ink screen to modify my pictures as the colors would be too soft and unsaturated, however I can definitely see it fitting into my workflow in the workplace, which is mainly as an editor of short articles for TechRadar. It would change the aging 24-inch Dell screen I presently have actually established in the vertical orientation particularly for modifying posts since it has significant viewing-angle problems.
Inspecting drafts composed in a Google Document by among the authors on my group would be great on an E Ink display screen. I’ve currently attempted doing so on an E Ink screen, albeit on the 10-inch one on the Boox Go 10.3 as it permits me to log into my Google Drive account. It’s not the most convenient gadget to type on (and I can’t compose on Google Docs on it), so a devoted screen that perfectly links with my MacBook and other peripherals would be great.
Got any extra modification?
It’s the restricted usage of an E Ink screen that has me questioning its launch cost of $1,899.99/ AU$ 2, 499 (about ₤ 1,400). I’m likewise a little worried with how well the E Ink Kaleido 3 screen on the Mira Pro may have been enhanced to show the 4,096 colors in its combination.
While color Boox ereaders are great– and I’ve checked a lot of them– I believe Kobo has actually done a much better task of making complete usage of the Kaleido 3 tech. While the Mira Pro may be simply enough for my particular usage case, I think other users would discover it doing not have.
Based on my previous experience with Boox ereaders (color or black and white), the business hasn’t constantly been able to lessen ghosting– other than on the Boox Palma — regardless of providing several refresh rates that can be used on a per-application basis. Would the refresh button be any much better? Well, I can’t state for sure as I’ve not attempted either the Mira or the Mira Pro.
As high as the rate may appear, especially considering the restrictions of such a screen, it does appear to be kinda, sorta on par with ereader rates. 10-inch black and white E Ink composing tablets like the 2024 Kindle Scribe and the amazing 2 cost upwards of $400/ ₤ 370/ AU$ 600, while the color amazing Paper Pro (which utilizes a customized variation of the more recent E Ink Gallery 3 innovation) will set you back $579/ ₤ 559/ AU$ 929 with the standard Marker. Theorize these rates for a 25-inch display screen and include the expense of the stand and I can see why it’s priced so high.
And clients in the United States will require to likewise consider any prospective tariffs, so anticipate to pay more than the noted launch cost.
Regardless of the high rate, I ‘d be extremely delighted to have something like that on my desk.
