No hi-res greyscale LCDs?

Hi all,

With all the recent interest in e-ink devices, I was wondering if there were any devices in the market that still used high contrast, high resolution LCDs?

I understand that it wouldn't be quite as high resolution as the new e-ink readers, but I think anything over about 100dpi is "good enough" for me.

The level of contrast I'm talking about would be similar to say, a Psion Revo or HP 48 calculator, which judging from the pictures [edit: of e-ink reader screens] I've seen seems to be better than first generation e-ink screens and possibly better than current ones as well.


[edit: Now that I think of it, the screen on my old Palm V was pretty good too. But it was not high resolution and also suffered a bit from the shadowing problem (which wasn't bad when the pixels were that large)]
