big device for displaying sheets of music?

dadaniel · 04-02-2012, 11:02 AM

I'm looking around for a big device to show greyscale sheets of music (PDF/JPG).
I tried a Point of View Mobii 10.2 tablet ( http://geizhals.at/591880 ), but the display is very very poor.

I found this two devices :
The Onyx M92 ( http://www.onyx-boox.com/onyx-boox-m92 ) looks good (especially the Nav-buttons), but is rather expensive and currently not in stock in europe.

The Netronix PocketBook Pro 912 ( http://www.redcoon.at/B348309-Pocket...refId=geizhals ) is cheaper.

Can anyone recommend a device (reader or tablet) with a very good display (good view-angle and no "mirror-feature")?

An obvious choice would be the iPad. I'm sure that it would do the job very well indeed.

Dadaniel, quite a long time ago we had a user here who wanted to use an eink reader for displaying music sheets.

The Onyx Boox M92 has a better screen than the Pocketbook 903 but I don't know if it is sufficient. Maybe you can repeat your question in the Pocketbook or Onyx subfora.

iPad with GoodReader app will let you display and mark up your sheets. Our family, barbershop singers and choral directors, are very pleased with this capability. Most of our music is Finale output, not scanned, PDFs though.

I am not sure what you mean by no mirror-feature? iPad is reflective, though you might be able to get an anti-glare film.

I would think eInk would not be able to display a new page fast enough for playing / singing.
