Hello all,
I was hoping that someone out there could explain the pros and cons of the different screen technologies? I have read the reference in the wiki as to how the technology works, but wanted to know how the differences actually manifest and whether these are significant differences or just very minor?
I've only been able to visually compare the E ink pearl and the E ink vizplex, and have not been able to view a sipix screen thus far. When i did compare them, in tesco's, it was a sony prs650, and the glare (from the touchscreen i am assuming) was awful and the screen didn't have the same clarity as the prs350 which was also on display (although i think the unit was faulty as i've popped in several times and its been locked/frozen on the same page. despite requests staff haven't sorted it out
). The other unit on display, the cybook opus with e ink vizplex, seemed to have very little difference to the e ink pearl of the prs350.
So are there real differences in the technologies? or are they all essentially the same? From what i have read the presence of and type of touchscreen has a big impact on glare. If anyone has any insight into the effects of touchscreen technology, this would be appreciated too
cheers,
Lisa
