It looks like this guy was one of the first to get one of the new ones. Here's a typing test video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvyS047RYqU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvyS047RYqU

  Wow that is impressively fast. Wish it was a bit cheaper than $900 though.

The problem with Dasung is that they force you to use a driver, which is a bit buggy and not available for all platforms. But I reckon their hardware is super nice. Boox Android tablets can take input through standard HDMI, without any software. Another option is an AMOLED screen, and invert colors to have the majority of the screen switched off. Sadly portable JOLED screens from Asus are not coming out yet, despite being announced for Q2.

  That one uses HDMI and there's a comment saying they didn't need to install any drivers.

    That's great. Can you link the comment please?

    There are several reports saying that if you "just" use HDMI and not their special drivers, the display will periodically stop, freeze, and display a message steering you towards the drivers.

  Only the first generation needed the special driver, because it connected via USB. The second generation (and newer) use standard HDMI and work fine without drivers. (I tried both since I managed to crack the panel on the first one while travelling.)

If you are looking into that product, you should at least check out the Boox Onyx 10/13 inch e-readers, which are just superior both in terms of price and features. (They too support being used a regular HDMI screen (with no drivers needed, unlike dasung device) - but you also get a fully-fledged android-based e-reader in that same product.

  Take it with a grain of salt since it's from Dasung themselves, but they have a demo video showing the relative responsiveness between their display and the Onyx e-readers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gdr6GD6enQc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gdr6GD6enQc
