#2$800 to pre-order. (Corrected: $1800 for the pre-order, $800 for the smaller one)
E-ink is one of those great technologies that seems like it has potential but won't "arrive" until after the patents all expire.

$800 to preorder the smaller 13in one. The other one (25.3in as in the title) is $1800

The $800 model has an "Add to Cart" button for me (in Germany). The 25.3 model shows "Pre-order".

Is it expensive because of the parents or because it's not cheap to create a big sized e-ink display? I mean small e-ink displays for ebook readers or e-ink tablets are quite affordable these days.

This is an interesting old thread about einks business model and parents:

Some of the early parents have expired but there are a lot of them…

#7I couldn't (easily) find information about refresh rates and such, what I want is to know if this is usable for coding. Frankly I'm down to go with lower stats for this, because I so want to be able to use a computer with just natural light.
If anybody has been doing this I'd love to read about your experience!

>it has potential but won't "arrive" until after the patents all expire
This is somewhat of a misconception. The high cost today has nothing to do with patents anymore, for the most part, though that' still a speedbump. It getting good yields in the fabs for the e-ink films that's the problem, and that's where e-ink has the secret sauce and why others can't compete even though they know how it works.
It's like saying TSMC's 3nm won't get any traction until it's patents expire, while the true vale comes form the fact that only they can get that process to scale profitably and their competition can't, even though they have access to the same tech and materials and $$$ funds.
So, I'm sure there are competitors who can replicate the e-ink tech. But to fab it profitably at that scale? Nope.

#9What is the lifespan of high refresh e-ink devices such as this monitor? Is it measured in a billion refreshes for example? E-ink displays have been slow to update but like this monitor there are a bunch of e-ink tablets which even allow you to watch videos and play games. In my head it feels like it detoriate the device faster.

#10My dad has bought the 25.3'' E ink monitor from Dasung. From what he tells, it does not have a backlight and is itself to dark for his taste outside of middle of the day. Maybe it will be better during summer or in bright condition but sitting further away from these devices may require more than just reflectiveness for some users.
