Do not confuse memory LCDs with generic reflective LCDs. Memory LCDs are the ones I mention as having lower power usage during refresh, as well as the ones I mention as having higher price than eInk, as well as the ones I mention as not even being available in larger sizes AFAIK.
> Yes, significantly. You have decided it does not and reject all evidence to the contrary.
What evidence? The only thing I have explicitly discarded is PR's "XX% improvement" messaging because it is imprecise and has been wrong in the past. For example, Gallery 3 contrast ratio is around 11.7:1 ( see Table1 of https://confit.atlas.jp/guide/event-img/idw2022/EP1-02/publi... ) , significantly worse than Carta . I cannot find a similar measurement for Carta 1300, so I am at a loss, and since the last published number is 1:15, and reviewers mention the new screens as being _worse_...
> Definitely false. REI will try to sell you the Solar one (for obvious reasons). Best Buy will sell you whichever one you want, but will try to steer people toward cheaper watches like the Forerunner or Instinct that people are more likely to actually buy.
Sigh... What point are you trying to make here? You do not agree that Garmin is pushing the AMOLED ones over the reflective LCD ones? Do you realize the Forerunner and the Instinct series are also AMOLED or getting replaced by AMOLED? You disagree that Garmin 's trend is clearly towards AMOLED? In that case, you should definitely go and extinguish a couple fires happening on the Garmin user communities...
> Which brings us back to this: If transflective LCDs were actually superior to eInk panels for the e-reader use case, why is every ereader company sticking to eink?
Because e-ink is cheaper! I have said it even on my original post: eink is the only one who survives because they're the cheapest one. Plus, I believe, because e-readers are anyway becoming a niche mostly tied to e-ink, and getting utterly displaced by, e.g., phones and tablets in the market.
