That is surprisingly good contrast. Better than I've ever seen e-ink displays produce, and I have on occasion been looking - I'm a photographer and enjoy hanging my own work, and it would be convenient to do so this way.

On the other hand, for the same price as the 13.3" version and at the same size, I could print and frame approximately 80-100 photos, even from my gallery-quality inkjet - if I take the quality hit and use the HP AIO where the ink is free, that's about 200-250. (At that point it mainly depends on what kind of bulk rate I can get on the frames!)

So the unit economics don't really work out in favor of the ArtFrame here, I feel like. I wish they did!

Wonder as only 16 level of grey. If that enough?
with just greys (no color) and dithering, 16 greys is plenty
As long as you have a good overall dynamic range. Granted I've only seen the same photos everyone else has, and not the panel in person, but if the photos are to be believed these panels have a better black than any I've seen before.
