> There are a myriad of operating systems it supports, such as Windows 10, MAC OS, Android, Linux.

For a site all about reading, mistaking myriad as a synonym for 'number' rather than 'many' is disappointing. Counting (GNU)/Linux twice doesn't help.

25" diagonal with 3200×1800 would be perfect for most of my passive reading activities, and the frame rate would have to be dismal for me to be disappointed. The price quoted ($1500 -- I assume USD) is stupidly steep though. As a commenter on the announcement observed, 8999 yen ~= AUD $110 ... which is stupidly cheap, if that's real.

EDIT - thank you to the three people, each 1m apart, that corrected my mistake (still present above) about pricing.

Why does it need to support operating systems at all? If it's got an HDMI connector, I'd like it to support HDMI specification signals no matter how I generate them (blu-ray player, set top box, camera etc.)

The price is in Yuan, so unfortunately the $1500 is correct. However, this being the first of its kind gives me real hope that a few years from now something like this will be affordable.

It says ships from China, so that's 8999 Yuan, not yen. Which means the $1500 is correct.
