      Yeah, it’s got doom. The frame rate is fairly useless, much like the rest of the device it seems.

      Latency is terrible (as in 1-2 seconds to respond to a single key press even in a text editor, let alone doom) and the screen is limited to, iirc, 1 million refreshes total before dying. At roughly fives hours of use per day with a refresh once/second, you’re looking at 55 days before the screen burns out.

        I’m the guy that built this. It actually takes about 0.1 second to respond to a key press. You can see that in the videos. Not sure what system you’ve used that takes 1-2 seconds. That’s ridiculous and totally unusable in my opinion. You can see the response times for yourself in the videos at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS5HRMZsVMLZf-PbHvJDVLgTP-tTvth55

        And I don’t know how many refreshes the screen can do before its longevity runs out, but I can say that I’ve been using my original screen for over two years, averaging 1-2 hours per day of use, and it still looks good as new, so I think it’s good for at least another 10 years before it fades so much that it’s unusable.
