Boox, the manufacturer of some of the best Ereaders and Ink Writing tablets, has just announced its first color PC monitor. Call Boox Mira Pro, uses a screen and ink kaleido 3 of 25.3 inches that emulates the appearance of the paper, a screen technology that is already in use in several popular ereaders, including Kindle Colorsooft and Kobo Libra Color.
Like the ereaders, the Mira Pro is illuminated striker instead of having a background light and on the LCD screens, with the ability to adjust both the brightness and the light of the light (warm or cold). There is also an update button dedicated to minimize the ghost that can be an important problem on electronic screens. This paper panel will also reduce the reflexes and the glow.
To reinforce its monitor credentials, the Mira Pro also presents a pair of built-in speakers and five ports, including USB-C, HDMI, Mini HDMI and Displayport. You can also obtain a Mira Pro version to admit the operating system you use, be it Windows, Mac or Linux.
That is all for the main credentials of Mira Pro, which is essentially a color of the black and white Boox looks that was launched in 2023.
An easy reading
I am a great defender of the ereaders due to the ink screens and they use, either on the gray or color scale. For the avid readers like me, they are “easy for the eyes”, which allows you to read well until bedtime. So, wouldn't it be good if there were a ink PC monitor and capable that it does not run so much with the eyes during the approximately eight hours that I spend working?
As a photographer, I would not use a ink screen and to edit my photos, since the colors would be too soft and unsaturated, but I can absolutely see that it fits my workflow in the office, which is predominantly as an editor of articles to techradar. I would replace the 24 -inch Dell monitor that I have currently configured in vertical orientation specifically to edit items because it has major visualization angle problems.
Verify drafts written in a Google document for one of my team's writers would be fantastic on a screen and ink. I have already tried to do it on a screen and Ink, although in the 10 inches in the BOOX Go 10.3, since it allows me to log in to my Google Drive account. However, it is not the easiest device to write (and I cannot write in Google Docs in it), so a dedicated monitor that connects without problems with my macbook and other peripherals would be really good.
Do you have any spare change?
It is the limited use of a screen and Ink that makes me question its launch price of $ 1,899.99 / AU $ 2, 499 (approximately £ 1,400). I am also a little worried about how well the screen and Ink Kaleido 3 in Mira Pro could have optimized to show the 4,096 colors in its palette.
While the colored Box Ereaders are good, and I have tried many of them, I think Kobo has done a better job by making the complete use of Kaleido 3 technology. So, although the Mira Pro could be sufficient for my specific use case, I suspect that other users will be missing.
In addition, according to my previous experience with Boox Ereaders (color or monochrome), the company has not always been able to minimize the ghost, except in Box Palma, despite offering multiple update rates that can be applied by application. Would the update button be better? Well, I can't say with certainty, since I have not tried either the sight or sira pro.
As high as the price seems, particularly taking into account the limitations of this screen, it seems to be a bit, a species along with the prices of the eraderos. For example, the 10 -inch and 10 -inch ink writing tablets such as 2024 Kindle Scribe and the remarkable 2 sell for more than $ 400 / £ 370 / AU $ 600, while the remarkable color Paper Pro (which uses a personalized version of the new technology and Ink Gallery 3) will cost you $ 579 / £ 559 / AU $ 929 with the basic marker. Extrapolar these prices for a 25 -inch screen and add the cost of the stand and I can see why it has such a high price.
And customers in the United States must also take into account any potential tariff, so they expect to pay more than the launch price listed.
Despite the high price, I would be very excited to have something like this in my desk.
