This is only a short review of the newest model, the Dasung Paperlike HD, an e-ink monitor from a Chinese company. I hope someone 'd post a full video review for this monitor. I will not include any picture here, sorry for my laziness.

I have been using e-ink devices for more than 6 years, but never for an e-ink monitor. I love the idea to surf internet, read documents and even play videos on an e-ink device. This is the first time I ever experience an e-ink monitor.

Price and shipment: I bought this device via Dasung webpage, not from Indiegogo. It cost 1400 AUD ~ 1000 USD. I had to work 70 hours as a cleaner to earn enough money for this thing. I ordered it on 5 Jun and expected to receive the monitor in July since the company advertised to ship it in July. At the end of July, after sending an email to the company, they confirmed to ship 2 weeks later with the reason "the product is still in production". On 15 August, I sent them an email again to ask for the exact shipping date since I couldn't wait any longer. After 4 days, they sent me the tracking number. The product was shipped by air, and it only took 4 days to arrive my house from China. According to Australia's laws, if a product imported to Australia costs more than 1000 AUD then the buyer should pay extra tax for that. However, Dasung company declared its value only 99$, so I didn't have to pay any duty. I believe that the company also does the same to any customers. It's great.

The experience: It has been working magnificently. It is everything that I want to have so far. The screen is big enough to read documents, typing, surfing webs. The company wrote that they don't suggest to use it for watching videos since it would reduce its lifespan. It's just for working such as coding, typing, reading. I have seen one video on youtube reviewing this device, wish there are more. I believe the screen is matte, not glossy. There is no glare whatsoever.

Some comment: I think this is a great product for anyone who is seeking an e-ink device for working. The only concern is its life expectancy. I wish it can last for more than 5 years.
