DaSung Second Screen 13.3" E-ink Monitor - Page 3

skobie78 · 09-29-2015, 05:31 AM

I emailed them last week when I saw that tweet. They said they won't be selling any Paperlikes for another 1 or 2 months due to limited supply of panels from Eink

Thanks a lot for the reply. I appreciate it.
I still haven't gotten a reply from Dasung.

I presume they haven't yet fixed the problem.

I would really love to get a working e ink monitor..
I would use it primarily for coding (no animation or even images), so i think it would be really great for my eyes.
But if refreshing won't work as it is supposed to, leaving ghosting.... that would be a deal breaker.

Also the fact that much time has passed without any communication from Dasung is really concerning.
Considering what you said, i'm afraid this could go on for months... without knowing how it would end..

I'll keep the forum posted on any developments..
Thanks again

Well, Dasung posted today in their twitter page a video that shows text typing with no ghosting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1Ci...ure=youtu.be&a

Although i don't see any scrolling, which would be more likely to produce ghosting, typing in the video looks really clean and responsive.

I still should get a formal response from them informing me about the situation..

Let's wait a bit more and see... will keep u posted..

I wait, i'm thinking to buy one of this.

A porgrammer in France told me that work fine in 800x600 resolution screen but that bug in high resolution.

What sort of OS did you test ? On window 7 how is it working?

Alexandros · 10-02-2015, 01:06 PM

I would be glad to answer you questions, but unfortunately i don't have the monitor.

As i wrote in previous posts, I have bought the monitor but they said there is a problem they are trying to fix and haven't yet sent it to me.

I am still waiting for them to give me some info on the developments..

How did you contact this programmer from France you mentioned? What is long time ago?

Could you ask him on his experience now, after some months of use?

ZeKK · 10-09-2015, 04:06 AM

he's "eturgeon" on this forum he write very well in English, ask him some questions.

Alexandros · 10-29-2015, 09:28 AM

Status update.
After communicating with Dasung we agreed that it was best for me to get a refund.
Apparently there is work to be done in order to manufacture a monitor without problems and this will still take some time.

I got my money back, however i am still willing to repurchase the monitor if and when all problems are sorted out.

Although i've had some issues communicating with them sometimes, overall i respect their effort to deliver a quality product and i am satisfied with the refund.

I couldn't communicate with others regarding their experience, so i don't know if the problem that my monitor had was a general issue.
I only know that the person i contacted in youtube posted that he has problems refreshing the screen (running the monitor at 800x600 resolution didn't fix this) as he states in the comment section of his youtube video

I hope this thread continues in the future with more positive posts!!
It will be really great if we have at some point a working, problem-free, sturdy e ink monitor!!

Just as a question,
Did you guys keep track of PixelQi?
They had a very similar technology.
Though not e-ink, theirs is regular LCD with reflective background, for low power, and yet fluent video playback and low latency for games.

Have you seen one? I found the contrast to be very poor.

ZeKK · 12-07-2015, 07:44 AM

Have you some news? Their website was updated?

Alexandros · 12-14-2015, 05:14 PM

Hi all,

They have been selling only to China from the start of December.

Moreover they posted on twitter that they are starting a second sale for overseas customers, and that anyone who wants to buy a unit can contact them. I don't know what the new price is, i haven't still contacted them. I sure hope it is lower.

Also i have been following the youtube video of the person who has the monitor with the refreshing problem. According to new posts on the comment section, he contacted Dasung and they told him that the issue has been fixed and they will provide him a new monitor without this problem. So that is good news.

I can't understand though why they still have the resolution of 800x600. I don't think anyone would like to use it..

I hope this time Dasung has managed to produce a monitor without problems, i am still a bit cautious though.

lizardman2 · 12-15-2015, 05:45 PM

Hey Alexandros,

Where did you see that they are selling overseas? I know only that they are selling inside China.

By the way, I've machine translated this page here and found a lot of useful details: http://dasung.com.cn/index.php?contr...nview&id=10009

Alexandros · 12-16-2015, 05:38 AM

Hi,

Well, they asked in their twitter page (https://twitter.com/dasungtech) everyone who wants to buy a monitor to send them an email.
So i'm assuming they are going to start selling soon overseas. (the relevant post is from December 14)

ZeKK · 12-18-2015, 07:31 AM

for france it was 995$ after january 15 2016.

i ordered one i hope that will work i have some doubts i will test on window 7 and maybe on win10, wait now.

lizardman2 · 12-19-2015, 08:42 AM

Hi ZeKK,

How did you order? I understand that they are shipping only inside China.
