The Bigme B251, featuring a 25.3-inch color E Ink display, is priced at $1,499 on Amazon. Although it aims to capitalize on the advantages of E Ink technology, the monitor falls short in delivering a satisfactory viewing experience.
Despite offering a resolution of 3,200x1,800, the clarity is compromised due to its color LCD layer, leading to issues such as pixelation in text and overall dimness without additional lighting. Users may find that even in well-lit environments, the display requires supplementary illumination to function optimally.
While the B251 includes features like adjustable color temperature lighting and various image modes for different content types, the overall design and audio quality have been criticized as underwhelming. Additionally, Bigme's claims of a 300ppi E Ink resolution and a 150ppi color resolution are met with skepticism, as comparative tests suggest the display does not achieve the expected sharpness.
