I doubt this. I use an e-ink android tablet as an e-reader. I like that it’s easy on the eyes. For using it to scroll Lemmy or even a web page, it’s fine. But the refresh rate (even on the best settings) makes watching a video or gif on it painful.
I don’t think anyone really wants an e-ink TV unless they want something that’s a hybrid. The things you’d use a tv for are just not e-ink things.
There’s some e-ink monitors now that have a refresh rate matching that of normal screens. Although if you want color you need to spend a few thousand. So it’s not too far off that in 5-10 years when the price comes down that we start seeing some kind of e-ink TV.
This makes sense to me. A hybrid would be nice. Have a calendar or some art while it’s “off”. But then, that’s probably pretty expensive. (Not that I’ve looked, I’m just assuming.)
Next big technological innovation will be good looking and fast working e- ink TVs.

I remember the horrendous response times of the original GameBoy’s LCD panel, and when I mentally compare it to modern COLOUR panels…
…all I can think is, never say never!

Hmm I have considered this, and I think it is ads beamed straight to the eyeball
