We take a look at the TCL 40 NxtPaper 5G with its matte LCD. Oh, the age-old clash of glossy versus matte displays – a topic igniting more late-night forum...
I wish TCL would stop referring to it as electronic paper, it’s a matte LCD with some desaturated modes for eye comfort.
for me, the major selling point of a true e-paper display is sunlight readability, if your “electronic paper” LCD cant match e-ink, then it’s not good enough.
The main E-ink patents are due to expire in 2026, so we should see some rapid development after that.
For me the biggest selling point of e-ink is for reading late at night. Since it’s not backlit it’s better for sleep, I think? Easier on the eyes, anyways.

Yeah, the whole “It behaves like an actual paper page for all relevant purposes” is kinda important to an e-ink display.
