Used as evidence that large e-ink monitors can handle video and scrolling, and as a pointer to Dasung as the main e-ink monitor maker.

A short first look at Dasung's 25.3-inch Paperlike 253 e-ink monitor, edited from the company's own Weibo reveal video. Price and release date were not yet known.

“they show video of a figure skater in the product reveal video and it looks usable” (HN, 2020)

Dasung is the only manufacturer that's known for producing e-ink monitors but they are not any cheaper: - Review of Dasung's current generation 13.3" e-ink monitor: [link] - Preview video of their upcoming 25.3" e-ink monitor: [this video] If low cost is a priority, previous generations of Dasung's e-ink displays occasionally show up on eBay.
