HN commenters cite it as a realistic demonstration of E-Ink monitor refresh rates and how such displays feel in use.
Linus Tech Tips reviews the Dasung Paperlike E-Ink monitor, asking whether an e-paper display makes sense as a computer monitor. The video covers its slow refresh rate, eye-comfort claims and day-to-day usability.
“I do think the videos do a a good job of showing how the monitors feel.” (HN, 2024)
LTT just did a video[1] on an 25inch E-Ink display[2] that runs at 15Hz. It worked way better than I thought it would and is a pretty decent size. Little pricey. [1] [this video] [2] [link]
Review of large 25 inch E-Ink monitor running at 15Hz.
‘Quite high’ is still not what you’d think of as ‘quite high’ if you’d never experienced earlier versions of eink though. LTT on YouTube has some video reviews of Dasung’s displays. I know tastes vary when it comes to LTT - and they focus on some ridiculous things in the reviews (Can you game on them? Obviously, no.) but if you get past that I do think the videos do a a good job of showing how the monitors feel. [this video] [link]
