However, adjusting the setting of the potentiometer yourself will only result in worse screen performance. You might be able to make black more black, but then your white will become darker.

The visual performance of the display is mainly determined by the quality of the E-ink material.

Very informative! Thanks.

IS the E-ink display getting any better over the time?
