Here's their real website: http://www.dasung.com/english/ I cannot wait for the day when large e-ink displays are cheap, or as cheap as normal screens, and have faster refresh rates.

I just want an 8.5" x 11" version that is portable, runs Linux, and can open PDFs. For reading papers you wouldn't be able to beat it.

Gosh. I would buy this in a second if the price was a bit less and I was sure the durability/lifespan was good. The reduced eye strain benefits. I really want this.

I was an early backer of their last USB based monitor, it is truly useless - very poor refresh rate, highly overpriced, poorly written drivers, clunky construction and the list goes on and on.... it ended up as quite a large waste of money.

However, I do hope that the new version will succeed, I love reading on eink screens and I truly wish I had a decent, high resolution / DPI, fast refreshing eink display that would take DisplayPort and 'just work'.

Obviously the refresh rate is the most painful part of these screens. Is there much hope they can improve that?

If you wish to use an e-ink screen to avoid eyes strain, I've recently learned that a video projector does have the avantages of a classic monitor (colors, good refresh rate) without having to watch directly at the source of light, thus avoiding eyes fatigue. I consider it to be a better tradeoff than working with an annoying delay as if you were using a 10 years old computer.
