Revolutionary Display Technology Hits the Scene

Get ready for a game-changer in the world of monitors! Boox has just unveiled its first desktop monitor featuring an innovative color E Ink screen. The Mira Pro Color builds upon the successful black-and-white version launched in 2023, offering the same functionality with a fresh twist: a vibrant E Ink color display, similar to that seen in the Kindle Colorsoft.

Why Choose E Ink?

E Ink technology has strong advantages over traditional display types like LCD and OLED. The Mira Pro Color reflects ambient light instead of emitting it, making it a potentially healthier choice for those who spend long hours in front of screens. However, the cutting-edge technology comes at a price—a staggering $1,899.99 for a 25.3-inch monitor, which might leave some buyers feeling sticker shock!

Shipping Challenges and Tariff Troubles

Potential buyers should be aware: the Mira Series monitors are shipped from China, and certain countries—especially the U.S.—might impose tariffs on these imported goods. That means you could end up paying significantly more than the listed price!

Performance: When Color Meets Limitations

Despite the impressive features, the Mira Pro Color is not designed for high-octane tasks like gaming or video editing. Unlike competitors such as the Remarkable Paper Pro, which boasts E Ink's advanced Gallery 3 technology for over 50,000 colors, the Mira Pro Color uses a 3,200 x 1,800 E Ink Kaleido 3 panel limited to a mere 4,096 hues. Its refresh rate also doesn't compete with top-tier LCD and OLED screens, but Boox has included four customizable display modes to balance image quality and ensure it's fast enough for casual video watching.

Additional Features You'll Love!

If you're an e-reader fan, you'll appreciate the front lighting that mimics e-readers, complete with adjustable color temperatures for cozy nighttime reading. Plus, it comes equipped with two speakers, a refresh button to eliminate ghosting, and a comprehensive selection of connectivity options, including HDMI, mini HDMI, USB-C, and DisplayPort.

Is the Mira Pro Color Right for You?

If you're an intensive gamer, photo editor, or rely heavily on your monitor for watching TV and movies, this monitor may not be the tool for you. However, for those who spend their days writing, editing text, or analyzing spreadsheets—especially in a well-lit environment—the E Ink technology could be a worthwhile investment, especially for anyone struggling with eye strain.
