![]() This can be retrieved by bumping up the dark enhancement, but that sees shadowy areas in images sink into pitch black. There are controls for adjusting the picture, and we found that bumping up the brightness significantly with a degree of “vividness enhancement” got us close to what we’d see on a normal computer display for web browsing, but this was at the cost of clarity in fine, dark lines – such as small text. The tablet's recreation of that color is also lacking, with either shadow details, clear edges, or proper color being traded out for one another. Color isn’t vibrant here, and the depth is incredibly limited, reaching just 4,096 color shades where a typical LCD will reach 16.7 million. For one, the color layer has only a third of the resolution of E Ink at just 100ppi to the 1,872 x 1,404 E Ink layer’s 300ppi. However, color here isn’t anywhere close to that delivered on even a cheap tablet’s LCD display. Documents, note-taking, study materials – any visual content in fact – is that much more detailed with color as an option. While Onyx has done a commendable job getting grayscale to work in the black-and-white iterations of its tablets, the data that color can help convey on the Nova Air C makes it far more useful. ![]() ![]() The addition of a color layer on the Nova Air C dramatically extends the capabilities of the ereader. Fortunately, the Nova Air C features a two-tone backlighting system that can provide ample brightness as needed and deliver varying color temperatures. Side-by-side with the standard Nova Air, the Nova Air C’s screen is much darker.įor reading books and articles, the dimmer display proves more difficult to use in dim environments. As was the case for the Onyx Boox Nova 3 Color, the introduction of a color LCD layer here acts as a bit of a light block for the E Ink display beneath. The frame’s change of color may be about more than just aesthetic, though. It’s thinner than a paperback novella, however, and not much heavier than a typical smartphone at 245g (only 5g more than an iPhone 13 Pro Max). The Nova Air C has narrow bezels for an ereader, letting it pack a 7.8-inch E Ink Kaleido Plus display into a frame that’s about the height and width of a standard hardcover book. Nevertheless, the lack of change still leaves us with a quality ereader. Where the Nova Air had a light, silver chassis, the Nova Air C swaps this out for a matte black finish. The Onyx Boox Nova Air C is near-identical to its predecessor. The screen feels great under fingers or stylus.(Image credit: Future) Design and display
