Hey, back to this topic with some questions because TCL released Nxtpaper 11 Plus specs:
https://www.tcl.com/global/en/tablet...tpaper-11-plus
11.5" screen with 3:2 ratio and 229 ppi, 120Hz refresh, better CPU and of course Nxtpaper 4.0 screen. Honestly, I'm not impressed, there is no news on MSRP but roumor is it will be around EUR250 depending on region. Still no headphone jack or LTE by default.
For me the question is, what could Nxtpaper 4.0 bring over Nxtpaper 2.0 and 3.0? From text-reading perspective, I've found out that 2.0 has PWM while 3.0 is using DC Dimming. TCL also claims that 4.0 will have 100% sRGB color reproduction, but I doubt I will need it for reading text.
The only one thing that catches my attention is "60 million-level Nano-matrix lithography". I'm not entirely sure how that is supposed to work but I guess it could mean that image might look sharper? Which would mean that text could be shaper, perhaps look better than comparable 229 ppi devices?
As of sidenote, I have one more general question - does BW text looks better/shaper than color text on LCD displays? I am asking given that TCL Nxtpaper offers monochromatic mode for reading but wouldn't that get rid of sub-pixel rendering benefits? On the other hand, given how LCD panels are built, the BW part of panel is usually of higher resolution than colored part. Quite puzzling...
