The display uses E Ink technology and is offered in monochrome and color variants, with touch support, USB Type-C connectivity, and an open-hardware design.<\/p>\n<p>The display features a 13.3-inch panel with a resolution of 3200 \u00d7 2400 and a pixel density of 300 PPI. According to the published specifications, the monitor supports refresh rates up to 60 Hz together with sub-100 ms latency, targeting more interactive workflows than conventional e-paper displays.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-97848\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/linuxgizmos.com\/files\/Modos-Flow-operation-modes.jpg?resize=525%2C217&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"525\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/linuxgizmos.com\/files\/Modos-Flow-operation-modes.jpg?resize=450%2C186&#038;ssl=1 450w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/linuxgizmos.com\/files\/Modos-Flow-operation-modes.jpg?resize=1024%2C424&#038;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/linuxgizmos.com\/files\/Modos-Flow-operation-modes.jpg?resize=125%2C52&#038;ssl=1 125w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/linuxgizmos.com\/files\/Modos-Flow-operation-modes.jpg?resize=1536%2C636&#038;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/linuxgizmos.com\/files\/Modos-Flow-operation-modes.jpg?w=1908&#038;ssl=1 1908w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><br \/><strong>Modos Flow display modes<\/strong>(click image to enlarge)<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2716\" data-end=\"2847\">The\u00a0monitor connects over USB Type-C using DisplayPort Alt Mode and supports Linux, macOS, and Windows systems.

Reading mode prioritizes image clarity and stability, Writing mode minimizes latency, while Browsing and Watching modes balance update speed and image quality. Physical buttons allow switching between modes, and the company also provides an API that enables display modes to be assigned to keyboard shortcuts.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Modos Flow -  A Paper-Like Monitor for Reading, Writing, and Focused Work\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uENnY78Nu_4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2716\" data-end=\"2847\">Unlike\u00a0many e-paper displays that refresh the entire screen, Modos states that Flow can update only modified regions of the display such as cursors or text areas.
