E Ink can do 15-30 Hz refresh rates as long as you are only updating a small portion of the screen every frame.

There's a company called Dasung which sells eink computer monitors that refresh fast enough for full-screen video playback: https://youtu.be/AeC3LIFTaho?t=249

$1000+ price tag O-o -- Hopefully there will be enough demand to eventually make e-ink monitors mainstream so we can see the prices come down

This seems perfect for editing/programming, but I'm wondering what the limitation is?

I was wondering about further technical limitations, but that's definitely one as well.
