I was going to buy an onyx note to use as a desktop display, however, I remembered I had an old tablet called Notion Ink Adam. I ripped out the pixel qi screen, plugged it into a video controller board, disconnected backlight power, plugged 12v to USB and hdmi to laptop hdmi, and now I have a small monitor that doesn't hurt my eyes. You can buy the LCD on eBay for about 110 and video controller plus USB to 12v for about 35.

This is all plug and play and the route I chose instead of streaming to an eink tablet. I like the fact it's also batteryless, I could buy a battery pack and mini computer for mobility.

A similar setup should work for clearink displays if they come to fruition.

Just my thoughts.
