It also adjusts the brightness according to the amount of light reflecting on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Till 2016, we didn&#8217;t have a colored E-Ink display but now that has changed. E Ink Corporation announced Advanced Color ePaper (ACEP), which can display colors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tech is still new and it will take some time to adapt but whenever that happens, it will be for good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By the way, the E-ink display consumes less power compared to any other display type and that&#8217;s the reason why Amazon uses the E-Ink display on their Kindle lineup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"14-pros-of-e-in-display\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Pros_of_E-In_Display\"><\/span>Pros of E-In Display<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Cheaper to Produce <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Good For the Eyes<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clear Text<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Longer Battery Life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"15-cons-of-e-in-display\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cons_of_E-In_Display\"><\/span>Cons of E-In Display<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Only Black and White Colors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Slow Touch Response<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_smartwatch_display_type_is_best_for_you\"><\/span>Which smartwatch display type is best for you?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that you are aware of the different types of smartwatch displays, the question remains, what type of smartwatch display is best?&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want the best experience then there is no better display than AMOLED in a smartwatch, it will give you vibrant colors, Always on Display, and longer battery life and it looks great compared to any other display type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, if you don&#8217;t want to spend more than Rs 5000 and still wanted a good quality display then you can also consider the LCD display, it won&#8217;t give you the Always on Display feature but still, you will get a good experience at a good price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, if you feel, I don&#8217;t want to spend more than Rs 2000 on a smartwatch then you can consider the TFT LCD display, it&#8217;s the same as the LCD display but it uses old tech. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can get the TFC LCD display at the chapter price and still, have all the good features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Transflective LCD is kind of rare these days and if you can ignore them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lastly, The E-Ink Display has a long way to go, so if you&#8217;re considering E-Ink Display then wait for a couple of years. For Starting, experience the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3PHWGq4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">E-Ink Display on Amazon&#8217;s Kindle lineup<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"16-verdict\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verdict\"><\/span>Verdict<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>That was it, these are some of the Displays used on smartwatches. So next time whenever you buy a new smartwatch, first of all, check out the display type because it&#8217;s the most important part of any smartwatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you ask me, I would any day pick an AMOLED panel over LCD or even TFT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now if your budget is under Rs 5000 then still, you can get some good smartwatches with AMOLED display but you will have to sacrifice features like Bluetooth calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have recently seen that when a budget smartwatch has an AMOLED display then it won\u2019t have Bluetooth calling and if the watch has a TFT panel then the watch will have Bluetooth calling feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, to get something, you will have to sacrifice something.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-row-layout-wrap.wp-block-kadence-rowlayout.kb-row-layout-id59_ad83db-0a{margin-bottom:30px;}.kb-row-layout-id59_ad83db-0a >
