I agree with that - what I was objecting to is saying that LCD screens don't cause headaches for some people, as I believe they do (as CRT screens and any other backlit screens do).
I'm sorry for not reading all the posts in the thread with enough insight to give me precise enough picture of your thoughts - and specifically for missing the importance of the one quoted above, as I think this is the only one from which it's clear to me that we're not in disagreement, just misunderstanding. I'm also sorry for some of my answers to you - having gained a thick enough skin to participate in Internet discussions, I nevertheless should have concentrated on the cause of difference of opinions more.
Though I have to say you did detract from the topic in few of your answers as well 
By the way, is iPhone even LCD technology? It looks nearly the same, but I think the technology is different. |
And I'm sorry if my responses in this thread came off the wrong way, as they were not meant to cause hostility, and I understand why it may have angered folks. Next time I'll work on my wording a little more.
iPhone is LCD LED technology from what I understand, which uses a very high resolution high quality screen. I think a dedicated iPhone user can be more precise, but right now the G4 iPhones are a step ahead of most LCD screens. Even the iPad screen quality isn't as good as G4 iPhone, which with the proper contrast settings should be near to a paper-like look, but I doubt it would give you that same paper-like feel that eink does.
Edited Note: The Nook Color has a similar high quality screen, hence the excitment from some of us.
