In recent months, possibly due to the pandemic, concerns about the energy consumption of electronic devices have increased considerably as well as concerns about our health. And as a consequence of this, monitors and panels of portable devices have been the focus of many users.
Conscious of this, companies have started to launch and develop products that meet these specifications. Recently, the manufacturer Onyx Boox has stood out with its electronic ink monitors and notebooks. The latest from this manufacturer is the Onyx Boox Mira Pro monitor, an electronic ink monitor with a size of 25 inches.
This device is compatible with all operating systems and with most of the devices on the market, that is, it works like a normal monitor. The Onyx Boox Mira Pro is an improved version of a monitor model than the Onyx Box presented months ago and can be purchased from the month of May.
This e-ink display monitor has Three good points the Onyx Boox Mira does not have either dasung monitors we have been talking about it for a long time.
The first one is the size and its resolution. Currently on the market there are no electronic ink screen monitors with a 2K resolution, 3200 ร 1800 pixels, even superior to many screens of the ereaders on the market. Along with this resolution, we must say that in addition the panel occupies 85% of the screen, that is to say, that the monitor has thin or small frames, taking advantage of most of the surface to dedicate it to the screen.
The second of the positive points is the use of Aragonite technology with BSR. This technology is developed by Onyx Boox and has been applied to the E-Ink moebius panel that this Onyx Boox Mira Pro has. This improves or partially solves one of the biggest problems that electronic ink displays currently have: the refresh rate of the panel.
The Onyx Boox Mira Pro greatly improves the refresh rate of the e-ink screen
Surely many of you, especially those who do not work with electronic ink screen, who are amazed by the refresh rate of their ereaders or by how they move or see the animations. The Onyx Boox Mira Pro corrects or improves this aspect by making the monitor work as if it had a traditional color panel. At least in the videos we have seen of the operation of the monitor it seems that way.
The third of the positive points is its price. If we really need or want a monitor with electronic ink, the cost will be very high, but in this case we are talking about 1165 euros. Yes, I know it is more expensive than for example using the Kindle Oasis or Kobo Ellipsa but the rest of electronic ink monitors on the market are priced between 1.500 euros and 2.000 euros. That is, the savings in this device is remarkable.
In addition to these three positive points, the Onyx Boox Mira Pro has other functions and specifications that we currently find in most of the monitors on the market. The Onyx Boox Mira Pro s monitor output portson VESA and a mini hdmi to hdmi port. Which makes it compatible with many devices, not just the classic desktop computer. The monitor stand is oscillating and this allows we can use the monitor in landscape mode or portrait mode.
In addition, the creators of the monitor assure that an extra split screen function can be used that allows us divide the monitor into multiple zones and in each zone have an open application. But this is something that operating systems also have and that therefore we will have yes or yes.
Those who wish to have this monitor in their homes or offices will be able to have it from the month of October, which is when shipments of this device will begin.
Opinion
If we take into account that currently on the market there are monitors with 120 Mhz panels, with a resolution higher than 4K and with a lower price than this Onyx Boox Mira Pro, many of you will think that the purchase of this device is crazy and that units will not be sold, but the truth is that I think it will be the opposite. E-ink displays despite displaying black and white elements, they are very effective for reading and viewing tasks, that is, they almost do not damage the eyes if we spend long hours in front of these screens. This means that they are ideal for use in companies and with jobs where we have to read and watch a lot, such as a programmer or a content editor. And if it still seems expensive to you, remember that in certain situations and diseases, sight cannot be recovered while money can be recovered.
The speed with which Onyx Boox is launching monitor models makes me think that electronic screen monitors will be the next market for manufacturers of this technology. What do you think? Do you think the Onyx Boox Mira Pro is worth it? Would you change a normal monitor for a monitor with an electronic ink screen?

Right now I am writing from a boox tablet, my mobile is also made of electronic ink, a hisense a5cc color and the safest thing is that I also buy that screen since the led monitors have destroyed my private and work life I have svi and intolerance to the led light of the screens has left me at 33 these symptoms. Greetings and thanks for the contribution.
