Has anyone played doom on it yet?
Yeah, it's got doom. The frame rate is fairly useless, much like the rest of the device it seems.
Latency is terrible (as in 1-2 seconds to respond to a single key press even in a text editor, let alone doom) and the screen is limited to, iirc, 1 million refreshes total before dying. At roughly fives hours of use per day with a refresh once/second, you're looking at 55 days before the screen burns out.
I'm the guy that built this. It actually takes about 0.1 second to respond to a key press. You can see that in the videos. Not sure what system you've used that takes 1-2 seconds. That's ridiculous and totally unusable in my opinion. You can see the response times for yourself in the videos at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLS5HRMZsVMLZf-PbHvJDVLgTP-tTvth55
And I don't know how many refreshes the screen can do before its longevity runs out, but I can say that I've been using my original screen for over two years, averaging 1-2 hours per day of use, and it still looks good as new, so I think it's good for at least another 10 years before it fades so much that it's unusable.
