> e-ink variants (hooked up to raspberry pi's) ... If the price is right for this, I might actually be into this

At that point, you could just get the display and controller from E-Ink. The Kaleido of this monitor does not appear for me in the E-Ink shop, but there is the 13.3'' full AcEP on sale, 1600x1200, as-if 60,000 colours through pigments, for ~800$, «Hands-on experiment with Raspberry Pi #3».

That is still a lot more than I would want to spend given I have working solutions with larger monitors.

Plus I would need to figure out the mount for that, I currently just use a 3D printed VESA wall mount for what I have.

But given that what you linked is $800 for a screen 10 inches smaller than what is being advertised here... this monitor is likely not going to be cheap.

> not going to be cheap

Sure, that was part of the point I was making (get the part¹, not the 3rd party build). I thought you had an idea of the range: the B/W original costs 1,748 USD (links are in the page), this one has a few reasons to cost more...

¹(incidentally, technologically better in this case)
