pixel qi, daylight grayscale with a PC

Post by eturgeon »

I read people use this display to replace their laptop monitor. I wish to use it in replacement for my LCD on my PC. I'm able to make it work for the first two modes (color, gray-scale by unplugging a cable), but not the third, which is "daylight grayscale", basically the e-ink mode. I read fn+f2 are the keys used in some laptop, but here I'm lost with my PC, and I dont even have the "fn" key anyway. Need help please.

or is there a e-reader mode at all??

Right now I'm looking at the display and it's dark, very dark, and if I want to be barely able to read it, I need to put it under a lamp, and that's barely enough. Is it usable at all indoors? I needed a replacement for my LCD at work, because I can no longer tolerate LCDs.
