No, not really. You missed the Web browsers thread, https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=291010
Where for example, I noted that

So, on Lighting, you have a miraculous option on
Settings > Advanced > Rendering Mode: ( Normal | Inverted | ... | Increase Contrast )

On Firefox, you can use an add-on named Blacken.

You should come for hints, not just out of boredom ; )

I was thrilled to try the HDMI when I got mine boox but I can tell you that the experience is rather disappointing. Refresh rate is too slow to follow normal mouse movements or rapid app changes like traversing the menu. It is possible to compensate for that, i.e. learn to be a little slow... There is screen ghosting. Very quickly the white becomes gray on the screen reducing the contrast significantly. In my opinion it is impossible to work with standard Macbook resolution. I had to lower it to 1024x768 to compensate for the lost contrast which leave very small real working area, rather not suitable for reading documentation side by side my development work which I was hoping for.

Well, all of that was expected, right? Partly because we are pushing a technology beyond the normal boundaries of its "comfort zone", partly because all of that was experienced or confirmed and reported.
Nonetheless, I would not say 'very desperate'. Surely, not for what video is concerned - video works pretty well for me (at least at this stage of experimentation before real use). There is one thing though they should really work on: a "stabilizer" - the Floyd-Steinberg algorithm implemented for A2 is not optimized in the dimension of time; too many pixels change frame by frame, in a stateless model, regardless of what was rendered before, and this is bad for the battery. A dithering algorithm is needed that changes dots as little as possible as frames change. Also, and possibly more importantly, because I sometimes perceive the video flashing, which is bad (very bad as a visual impact). Confusingly, though: this "flashing" did not appear in the video I posted, right?
Nonetheless 2, I subscribe to calling the Onyx 'Monitor' software beta, incomplete: it lacks features. You cannot, for example, be bound to A2. Also, there is no quick refresh tap.

It slide very smooth on the surface and the reaction is instantaneous. The difference in feeling of the pen between Max and Max2 is like switching from normal pen to a ball-pen (different tip material). I handed my Max2 to a guy why had reMarkable and he was very jealous as he said writing on the reMarkable is slow and unnatural so he was very disappointed by their advertisement. I did not had a chance to try reMarkable myself unfortunately as he did not have it in his bag.

Also, I suppose that the different performance of the various software applications, noted in the past weeks, when using the pen, could be assessed and overcome. We will see.
