Outdoors. You do not bring an LCD-like technology out to fight with environmental light, right? (Well, yes, if pushed, but really.) Plus, if you contemplate a lot - text -, EPD is made for that (bistable).
And where have you found reliable information that the Dasung has higher framerate? Can we see the numbers?
A priori, for Dasung to have an increased framerate, they should have devised a special waveform. That is something one would advertise in detail.
Mouse cursor framerate may not necessarily be a strong hindrance, you can get used to it. Plus, there are ways to use the touchscreen.
The resolution of the Onyx Monitor app is smaller (say 90%) than that of the display: Android software will be crisper, and the graphics coming from the HDMI softened, damp.
Battery consumption values appear as strongly inefficient (say 5 hrs of moderate use) - but you will probably keep the USB cable, hence charging, connected, also because e.g. of touchscreen functions.
EPD screens have a lifetime in dot-switches, but rough calculations show them as acceptable.
Although not a wiki, which may come as people will find the time, I still do recommend that you skim through the 40 pages of the thread. Maybe start when the Max2 related pieces of information start to appear.

Thank you for your reply. I was under the impression you use it as your sole monitor from one of your YouTube replies, but only when you are outdoors, then? I see it now, you are using a laptop, and the screen is being mirrored(?) to your Onyx Boox.
I think I have a slight advantage in using it as my SOLE monitor (in/outdoors) because my linux user profile would be set up specifically for (and only for) the boox max 2. Therefore I may not come to realize the resolution problems others are explaining.
My needs are minimal: i3 wm, vim, LaTeX, browser.. I think I'll be fine with modifying xprofile, vimrc, terminal config, etc
