I guess it is a compromise with battery efficiency. Are you aware of what these series sported before? It took a while to have the idea emerge that while you are skimming through the contents of a bi-stable display you do not need any CPU at all, but when you want that content appear you want it to happen as snappily as reasonably possible... The idea of a compromise between none and "something please".

But are you talking about the native application or 3rd parties'? Because - I do not do note taking (or not on the Max2 - I take notes on my pocket device), but the brief checks I did show surprisingly fast scribbling on the Onyx Note app.

That other applications (e.g. the MS one and other leading ones) do not work as expected is well known - it has something to do with the way the stylus works on the Onyx, which I understand is kind of a different input source. I understand that, the way they implemented it, it would take a developer to modify their note-taking application to make it work as expected.

I am not meeting the same problem the way I am using the device now, but in applications that keep the status bar on you tap on the clock whenever you want to issue a full screen refresh, and on fullscreen applications I have alternative commands to do the same. I have to do that infrequently. I had seen times and devices in which ghosting was a real annoyance - I would certainly notice (for lack of better word) bad ghosting if I had it.

Sorry, but - are you actually using white on black? Eyes are personal, but I do not have any fatigue on AMOLED: of course, with a moderately lit white on a perfectly black background... And of course, not in daylight (you would squint).
Have you applied a good matte screen on the tablet, which I guess glossy?
