The original EInk Vizplex announcement included four standard screen sizes (which are actually manufactured by PVI): 5", 6", 8", 9.7". We have seen all but the 8" in shipping devices and it is my understanding that the DR800SG is the first product using the "standard" 8" PVI screen. This means that other vendors could use this screen, mating it with the Epson controller (say).
So far the DR800SG's screen looks stunningly white in videos. So there may be some secret sauce in the new Delta controller it is using (or it may be that iRex binned their screens to get good ones for the demo devices).
