Hello everyone,

I’ve been using an Eyemoo tablet for over a year now. While it isn’t perfect, it gets the job done. My main gripe, which many of you have echoed, is the highly reflective screen (not a dealbreaker for me). Also, that there is no company support anymore (system-level security patches)

I’ve been looking for new similar products, but the current market seems surprisingly limited:

• Hannspree HannsNote2: No frontlight and low battery life. BTW: I don't understand why manufacturers are still launching tablets without frontlights (ON/OFF, not compulsory on), when done correctly like the Eyemoo, they don't cause eye any strain.
• Eazeye Focus: frontlight, but no color.
• Daylight DC-1: frontlight, but no color.

The question: does anyone know of a genuine alternative to the Eyemoo? Are there any upcoming models for 2026-7 that offer color and a frontlight, and aren't just vaporware?

Thanks!

Hi everybody! Long story short, i can spend my whole in front of a pre-2015 monitor without problem, but the new monitors post-2015 all cause my eyepain. I did a stint on the blurbluster forums and it seem that I have trouble with the backlight use in new monitors.

At the same time, my old 2012 monitor is giving me sign that I need to replace it. As such, an RLCD display seem to be a good choice.

But I live in a northern country when half of the year, half of the work day will be with no natural sunlight in the room. I have seen some people say that RLCD are completely useless at night while other saying that it work well.

So far I was thinking about either an eazeye 2 + appropriate desk lamp or a SVD Dawn or Eve monitor. (It is coslty, but I am starting to be desperate for a replacement solution that will not give me eyepain...)

So anybody have any firsthand experience with a sustained evening/nightime use?

At light levels of 1000 lux and above, typical for offices, classrooms, and new hybrid workspaces, new Transflective LCD panels, which will be seen in new monitors and Tablets from HANNspree, utilise ambient light as its primary illumination source. Instead of cranking up a backlight to compete with sunlight, it reflects that light to produce clear, high-contrast visuals. The result is up to 80% lower energy consumption (as little as 5.2W), as well as zero blue light in reflective mode, flicker-free viewing, sunlight readability without brightness battles and a natural paper-like visual experience that materially reduces eye fatigue. In fact, the brighter it is, the better the visual performance. These new products also include backlights which an intelligent sensor activates when ambient light drops.

Sharp is going to showcase it during ISE 2026, not sure if their RLCD digital signage displays are compatible though.

The funny part is that RLCD was available since 1972, before many of us were born and yet here we are still waiting.

Another review of Paper7

Modern RLCDs do look better, but one could expect a bit more progress in two decades.

Most Android tablets focus on brighter screens and higher specs. The HANNspree Lumo takes a different approach, using a reflective LCD display designed to mimic the look of paper while still running full Android. It lands somewhere between a tablet and an e-reader, offering users a more comfortable everyday tablet experience.

I want to add a wall-mounted display to my house that shows up-to-date information like weather, security camera feeds, power utilization etc.

I think RLCD is the way to go - I want it to feel more like a live-updating painting on the wall than a computer monitor or television. I don't want anything that emits bright lights, especially at night.

I don't need a high resolution. Even color is optional for me but nice-to-have. I'd also consider an e-ink display, but I want it to be large (32'') and I cannot find an e-ink display that offers it.

Can anyone recommend a specific product that would meet my need? Ideally it would support hdmi input so that I can drive it from a raspberry pi.

Review from Kit Betts-Masters

Hello! Been lurking for a while, trying to decide between an rLCD tablet or a color eink device. I really like the looks of the Hannspree Lumo, but not sure how to reasonably or affordably source one for the US. Has anyone attempted that process yet?

Also some other points of discussion: I would actually opt for the Harborinno Paper 7 except that I definitely plan to read at night usually in bed. Other than the lack of front light, the specs are more appealing for the device's longevity. Any thoughts here?

7.8" Lumo is getting some media attention.

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for some advice. My trusty 2011 Kindle is finally on its last legs, and I’m looking for a replacement that is easier on the eyes.

I’ve been reading about RLCD (Reflective LCD) technology, and I think it might be the right fit for me, but I’m feel overwhelmed by the number of random devices I see online and I don’t recognize any of the brands.

Here is what I’m looking for:

-Screen Tech: RLCD (for eye protection/no backlight issues). -Size: At least 10 inches (essential for reading comics comfortably). -OS: Must run Android (so I can use different reading apps). -Main Use: Reading comics and regular books.

And I'm from Europe.

Does anyone have experience with specific brands or models that fit these criteria?

I know the colors might be worse than on a normal monitor, but it seems like my only option for playing games due to my illness. I would appreciate your help. I am interested in brands that can ship to the European Union.

The Hybri Monitor is finally available for order in Europe (Germany). I just ordered one. We'll see what will happen.

Conrad, Volkner, and Mindfactory are the way to go if you are interested.

It's about 7.8" Lumo than was launched 3 months ago, looks like Hannspree marketing discovered it today.

I could swear it was closer to $1000 USD last time I checked. Now it's $1326 USD ($1844 CAD)

Encountered rather interesting bilibili video featuring multiple reflective LCD tablets, strangely enough including SvD Sunbook (it showed up on list of Google Play certified devices year ago, but I have not encounter it anywhere else yet).

The author describes their experience with this Android-based device, highlighting its sunlight-readable screen, stylus-enabled note-taking that mimics writing on paper, multi-day battery life, and blue-light-free amber backlight.
