Gallery 3 isn\u2019t quite as fast as the E Ink found in your Kindle, but it has some absolutely stellar upgrades compared to previous versions of the Gallery technology and brings us a whole lot closer to a color E Ink screen that big companies like Amazon might actually risk putting in a tablet. <\/p>\n Currently, a handful of companies are making color E Ink tablets based on E Ink\u2019s other<\/em> color technology, Kaleido. Those include the PocketBook Color (really neat!) and the Boox Nova3 Color (cooler in theory than in practice). Kaleido was E Ink\u2019s first attempt at color E Ink that came in a gadget most people could buy. It relies on a traditional black and white E Ink display with a color filter laid over the top possessing red, green, and blue pigments. I\u2019ve used a few products based on that tech, and while it’s neat to see comics and covers of books rendered in color, Kaleido has thus far been a pretty disappointing experience. Instead of the more paper-like white of black and white E Ink, Kaleido is this… muddy greenish-gray thanks to that color filter. Colors only pop when the backlight is engaged or the full force of the sun is streaming down on it. Resolution is also crummy. Black and white E Ink has a crisp resolution of 300 dpi, but Kaleido, depending on the version, is 100 to 150 dpi. The effect is noticeable and frankly unpleasant. E Ink showed off Kaleido 3 earlier this month<\/a> and it should fix some of the issues I\u2019ve had with the last version, Kaleido Plus, but muddy colors and a reliance on a backlight still appear to be part of Kaleido\u2019s deal.<\/p>\n Gallery 3 appears to do away with some of Kaleido\u2019s biggest flaws. Instead of 4,096 colors, it can produce over 50,000, all at 300 dpi. No backlight appears to be needed for eye-catching colors \u2014 though, in the press release, E Ink claims Gallery 3 will have a front lit LED that should cut down on blue light emissions. There\u2019s a reason previous versions of the Gallery color tech maintained a similar gamut of colors at a similar resolution but haven\u2019t been found in consumer devices. That\u2019s because previous versions were slow as molasses. Full-color pages in the last version took a whopping 10 seconds to change. In Gallery 3, that time has dropped to just 1,500 milliseconds (or 1.5 seconds) when the selected mode optimizes quality over speed. When speed is preferred over quality, that time drops to 350ms. That\u2019s still excruciatingly slow when you\u2019re used to an iPad Mini that refreshes 60 times a second, but that\u2019s a massive leap in speed from generation to generation.<\/p>\n
