Dasung Paperlike 13K is a 13.3 inch E Ink color monitor

I backed their 25" monitor and never received it, despite emailing support bi-weekly for months. Highly recommend staying as far away from them as possible.

Dasung manufactures in china and Mexico. So from china that $700 becomes, what? $1500? But from Mexico? What’s the tariff with Mexico today, May 9, 2025, 9:28 gmt-6?

Maybe a good time to ask the crowd: Is there any tablet sized, lightweight ereader for reading textbooks? Ideally without crazy vendor lock in? Deciding between the Boox (but there are a dizzying number of options) or Kindle Scribe. Or maybe I should just use an iPad?

The refresh rate in the linked video looks so good I have to believe it&#x27;s fake<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ERbTXVbSuEc" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=ERbTXVbSuEc</a>

If this monitor really uses the Kaleido 3 display as speculated in the article, the color would be very mute and it would only be suitable for reading Manga or magazines.<p>From what I can tell, the Kaleido display uses a filter on top of a black&#x2F;white display to show different colors. That&#x27;s why they can do 300ppi on black&#x2F;white content, but only 150ppi on color content.<p>The Kindle Colorsoft uses the Kaleido screen, and it&#x27;s the worst rated Kindle product on Amazon for a reason.<p>For high PPI color e-ink display, the only option today is the Gallery (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eink.com&#x2F;brand&#x2F;detail&#x2F;Gallery" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.eink.com&#x2F;brand&#x2F;detail&#x2F;Gallery</a>), and the only product that I know of is the reMarkable Paper Pro (reMarkable call it Canvas color play) which costs ~$600.

&gt; taking pre-orders for $749. ... There’s also a black-and-white only model that sells for $679.<p>So only $70 more for color? I find that surprising unless there are some massive differences like DPI or longevity or something.

I struggle to understand what the target market is for products like this.<p>I can&#x27;t imagine a legitimate market for (in my opinion gimmicky) colour e-readers, and I believe this would be a horrific experience as a daily-use monitor.<p>Is this intended for some form of advertising or marketing?

I&#x27;d have thought that the big win market for an e-ink display is smart phones. The biggest problem with smartphones is the battery; an e-ink display should be much lower battery consumption than a screen. Plus, they&#x27;re often used outside, where e-ink can (ahem) shine.<p>A quick google turns up a few e-ink phones, but none of them seem really mainstream. Is there something I&#x27;m missing that makes e-ink sub-optimal for phones? (Thickness, perhaps?)

It would be nice to know price and power usage.<p>I wonder if this kind of display would be good for making super light weight portables.

I just pre-ordered a Bigme 13-inch color e-ink monitor with a 30Hz refresh rate. At $499, it&#x27;s much cheaper than the Dasung, though the quality and e-ink display algorithms might not be as good

What&#x27;s the real use cases for this? Comic book reading?

Anyone try the Eazeye RLCD monitor? Overall I&#x27;m excited for these advances in the space as eye strain is real.

been burned before by preorders so i&#x27;m always a little cautious with new hardware drops like this- you think most of these niche screens will actually catch on, or is it just hype for early adopters?

Impressive resolution! Bit pricey for a hobby project though

I’m glad to see the 13.3” format, or full-size 8.5x11

Not sure about this model, but there 25.3 inch screens are not compatible with mac. Really ungood for me. Would consider buying other non mac but dont feel lile making that move right now.
