Hmm. I wonder what the whole-sale price is? A TV with wifi is partly subsidized by the ads you see when you turn it on. This 2500$ display seems like it’s for small run signage, so they know it’s being sold for government/business use. Probably a bit inflated.

Does Rakutan/Amazon/Pocketbook really pay a similar cost/size ratio for the panels on their ereaders? I hope not!



>so they know it’s being sold for government/business use. Probably a bit inflated.

You just reminded me, a few years ago i wanted to buy a transparent screen for a DIY project. The company said they couldn't sell it to me because they're b2b.

I think it was both a volume thing and a tax thing.. and possibly a liability thing.


Or they may have no procedure for selling one-offs to end users. It’s not uncommon.
