But if you are fine with LCD, that's fine, for you. Many were fine with tubes, and many were fine with those green monochrome monitors from decades ago. But that's not the point, really.
I'd wait for a month or two to see what the large-screen Sony unit brings, or until Fall, to see if the flexi screens will pan out. But at some point, you either jump and enjoy what's available, or you just sit paralyzed by the news of the next breakthrough, which is just around the corner.... :-)

Slightly snarky, huh?!
No, that's not the point. The point was that a poster stated a generalization regarding eink vs LCD based on a sample of people from MR - which I simply pointed out was not an unbiased statistical sample. As you exemplify.
Waiting for the downward trend on the price-curve of new technology is considered wise by some.....particularly when it is expected within a few months. But individual spending habits differ.
Again, I stress that it up to individual tolerance and finances - not necessarily "paralysis" as you so smugly state.
