Assuming those aren't fake videos that's pretty good for an E-Ink display. But why would someone want to use it for moving content? The point is that it can display static content with zero static power usage (it keeps the content even when power is removed). It's good for signs and books where it hardly ever changes. It's awful for anything else.

EDIT: Durr, after more research these would be good for reading lots of stuff on screen without any flicker or any refresh.

Normal LED monitors are really bad for people's eyes. The return of "dark mode" websites coincides pretty much perfectly with the switch from CFL to LED. I can't use LED monitors without my eyes hurting, so I am still using a CFL monitor.

I have looked into e-ink to get a higher resolution monitor, but haven't found one that I like. At some point I plan to switch to a newer technology, such as one of the many variants of OLED.

CFL flickers. Plenty of LED-backlight LCDs can run the backlight continuously (most at 100% will do this, and in software you can lower the brightness of the image sent to the monitor).

I don't think that it is the flicker, but the particular wavelengths.
