Why does everyone seem to think straight away of portable devices. I would get this for my main desktop monitor. Seems like a great way to be able to do work and only work.

I would get this for my laptop screen and plug in my existing colour monitor.

In this parallel universe, I can afford the flagship laptop with the latest and greatest CPU and ample RAM because I have saved big on getting the 4x3 1600x1200 screen instead of the 4K AMOLED colour screen. I also get to eek out extra battery life big-time since the laptop goes into suspend e-reader style so I don't even know.

On the train the laptop works fine with nobody wanting to steal my PC. If I really need colour, I just pull out my mobile phone.

But there will never be the market for that. Monochrome LCDs went at the start of the century since everyone just wants colour. It is the same on desktop where, like yourself, I would really want one and be prepared to buy one even though I would have never tried f.lux.

If you want a greyscale display, you can use a tool like f.lux to de-colorize all your monitors.

For some of us it is not the greyscale that we find easier to read. e-Ink reflects light, while LCDs emit light. My eyes like first a lot more.

Then you're wasting 2/3 of the display bandwidth. Give me my greyscale with √3 times the DPI.
