Ask Slashdot: Where Are the E-Ink Dashboards?

Posted by timothy on from the it's-called-chalkboard-learn-it dept.

fsck! writes "My office recently installed a pair of huge plasma TVs to display some metrics and graphs. They only update every 15 minutes or so, and I couldn't help but wonder, why can't this be E-Ink? I searched all over the place but couldn't find anything bigger than 9.5" (Amazon's Kindle DX). I want a >30" E-Ink picture frame with USB or WiFi. Can the Slashdot community find anything greener than these energy sucking plasma TVs that seem to be everywhere?"

    Use a white board and erasable marker plotter, computer controlled.
    Bonus, it would put you on slashdot and earn you nerd cred. Maybe.

    And once it's burned in he can turn it off and save loads of power!
