👁️ Why I use an E-Ink Monitor

6 months ago I was having problems with my sleep. I had dark rings under my eyes and I felt exhausted all the time. After dissecting every part of my lifestyle I arrived at the conclusion that I am very sensitive to blue light.

After a bit of research, I was recommended an E-Ink monitor. Yes, the same type of display on a Kindle! It turns out they even make them for computer displays! I felt so intrigued by this idea because in every technical benchmark, a typical monitor is leaps and bounds ahead.

I purchased one oh boy let me tell you how this is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Colours are very stimulating

A lot of people nowadays struggle with being addicted to technology and when you think about it, it goes slightly deeper than you may already think. Being exposed to all these bright colourful lights along with high refresh rates is such an unnatural occurrence. It’s almost like taking a tab of LSD.

Now when I use my computer i am just thinking about what needs to be done. After I have completed my tasks, i don’t feel the need to keep using the computer because i’m not addicted to it anymore!

Watching YouTube is impossible

Imagine all your videos are black and white and rendering at 15fps. Not very entertaining is it? If anything its annoying to watch. Most of these highly addictive tasks involve some kind of high refresh rate motion which simply isn’t possible right now with E-Ink.

On my phone I can simply just remove all the apps and the temptations are gone, but using a web browser is totally different. Even if i install an extension to block certain websites it’s too easy to just remove the extension. On my phone I have to go through the tedious task of loading up the App Store, downloading the app, waiting for it to download.

My Eyes Don’t Hurt Anymore

Obviously you can just take more breaks or reduce your usage but if a typical monitor is making my eyes hurt then its most likely causing some kind of damage to my vision. With E-Ink I have none of these problems.

This reason is a big one because sitting at a computer isn’t exactly that damaging to your body… except for your eyes, which are of course incredibly important. At least if i had no legs i can still experience beauty.

NO GLARE!

I had to rearrange my entire room just to be able to see my monitor on sunny days. This is why E-Ink is used on kindles because it works in any type of light.

Seriously. If you aren’t already using an E-Ink display and your job doesn’t require a display with high refresh rates then you NEED to get one. I will thank myself in 10 years when I still have my vision and who knows how much extra time saved.
