350 euros for 6 inch? 450 for 9 inch‽‽

Just buy some very cheaply-available electronic price tags [1] and use open-source firmware[2] which supports greyscale + yellow. Save literally HUNDREDS of dollars/euros/etc. For extra credit, they are not only black and white eInk screens, they are BWY, so they can add a splash of yellow!

Very interesting. Do you know of even bigger price tag models to search for? Is it as easy as the second page makes it seem?

And, separate question, but I tried just scanning [2] and I'm having trouble understanding how to determine the resolution of the tags in [1].

640x384 for those

bigger ones are rare but do exist

If you just want to display information, I agree. Black/White & red/yellow is enough. But if you want to display a photo, you need gray shades.

Read that article... greys are working just fine...

I know that most people assume that BWY and BWR screens cannot do greys, but that is wrong

Wow. Impressive research and write-up.

"Getting working greyscale turned out to be very very hard. "
