Alec Watson shares his initial experiences using a large-format Onyx Boox Max e-ink Android tablet as an external computer monitor.

Big things are coming soon. In some ways, they already have! Here are some links, they're farm fresh and ready-to-eat! Yum! The Second Channel Video: youtu.be/7NfX0vlCa4k Normally, I put a list of people here who support me on Patreon. For almost as long as I've had the page, there hasn't been enough room to fit everyone, so only some people appeared, and on a rotating basis. While I still can't fit you all here, this video is dedicated to all of the amazing folks around the globe who are supporting the channel. Thank you for your tremendous support, and for making the new Headquarters a reality! If you'd like to join them, click here. And thank you for your consideration! patreon.com/technologyconnections

On “Is Dark Mode Such a Good Idea?”

If you two are serious about this, you'll defintely want to check out Technology Connections' series on e-ink: (quick intro): link to this video (starting the breakdown): link He talks about that exact concept and moves on to do real-world testing and setup of a very specific tablet usable as an external display. It's exactly as you say: Hacky and unpolished. But I found it extremely informative.
