What I would like to see is the ebook content displayed in backlight off and backlight on but dim modes. It would also be interesting to know what resolution the graphics controller is driving the screen with. Is it a higher resolution in the b&w backlight off mode?
These details are important, but I don't currently see any downside to a 3T screen over a conventional one. At work I run a 1920x1200 wide screen monitor with seven terminal windows open per screen, and they are all currently black text on white (cream) background. Running these in B&W non-backlight mode would save power and would probably be easier on my eyes. I do wonder if the contrast will be high enough in this mode, but with EInk screens, at least, bolder fonts boost the apparent contrast a lot. I also have one (virtual) screen for e-mail and one for web browsing, and I'm not even sure I would want color mode on for these screens all the time. I do need color for some applications, so fast switching between modes would be important. Or perhaps I go the two screens route and leave one in color. My point here is that I would buy a Pixel Qi monitor to replace (or augment) my existing monitor, but I would not by another traditional monitor. These are potentially game changers for the LCD screen market.
