Paperlike Color: Color E-Ink Monitor

I'm curious about the refresh rate. From the video, it appears to be fast for an e-ink display. However, it still seems to be slower than what I'd be comfortable watching a video with.

The other thing I'm curious about is the manufacturer. They seem to have a black-and-white version already available. Has anyone ever tried it?

Why make this for a desktop? E-ink is mostly useful for wireless applications and anywhere power is limited or there's a need for always on, static display.

I found the product page [1] [EDIT: older grayscale version] and this article [2] from June last year slightly more informative. [1] https://shop.dasung.com/products/dasung-25-3-e-ink-monitor-p... [2] https://goodereader.com/blog/electronic-readers/first-look-a...

For an e-ink monitor, I was expecting it to cost much more.

Very impressive tech demo, but in practice, the lack of contrast and the slow (but impressive for e-ink) refresh rate would be a dealbreaker.

Also, as others have said, what's the benefit of e-ink on the desktop where mains power is readily available?

That page is for the black and white version. They released that product a couple of years ago.

I don't think eInk will ever be capable of video-like refresh rates. It's had plenty of benefits, but refresh rates may never catch up.

I have a secondary monitor dedicated to Slack, Teams, and Outlook. That would be perfect for this as it doesn't update often and the content is mostly static.

I think that this is a greyscale predecessor to the one in the indiegogo link.
