I've invested in using eink monitors from Dasung. I use one in landscape and the other in portrait mode. I experience no eyestrain after making this switch, using a computer for 8+ hours a day. My daily driver runs NixOS, i3wm as my window manager, and I've changed the editor and themes of my most commonly used applications to work with the monitors. I recommend the investment. https://dasung-tech.myshopify.com/products/dasung-e-ink-paperlike-hd-front-light-and-touch-13-3-monitor?variant=34835004850333 https://dasung-tech.myshopify.com/products/dasung-e-ink-pape...

I'm lucky not to have eye or hand trouble from heavy computer use, but now that I know a fast e-ink monitor like that Dasung exists, I really want to try it.

  It's a pleasure to use for reading documentation/websites and typing. If you decide to purchase an eink monitor from Dasung, I would suggest their latest 3rd generation device. The prior generations perform adequately, but they require Dasung's software to change the modes and brightness. The modes change the contrast/refresh rate of the monitor. The third generation monitors doesn't need the software to adjust the modes/brightness. Below is a review of their 3rd gen HD-FT mode. https://youtu.be/5pevlmk5kQs https://youtu.be/5pevlmk5kQs

How fast is the 'worlds fastest', can you actually use these for typing (with your eyes open)?

  Yes, completely usable. I've been using these monitors exclusively for all of my tasks for the past 6 months. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pevlmk5kQs&t=1409s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pevlmk5kQs&t=1409s

    Thanks! That's very nice, a lot better than I expected.

    I do like it... but 900+ is expensive...

My mom got dry eyes, she needs to work with computer but normal LCD screens always make her eyes dry and painful. I searched a lot of eye-friendly device and reviews, finally I found DASUNG Monitor. Though, compared with ordinary monitors and screens, it’s black and white and lack of color, it’s very eye-friendly for people with dry eyes and eye disease. The clarity of the screen is actually remarkable, and the refresh rate is good enough. Because I bought the one without frontlight, so I need to turn on the light at night, I bought an eye-protection lamp for my mom. All in all, the feedback I received from my mom is relatively good. It turned out that her eyes were always dry and unclear when she staring at her office computer screen and mobile phone for a day at work, she rely a lot on eye drop. After I bought DASUNG Monitor for her, her eyes feel much more comfortable and dry eye eased obviously. She would use the screen as main screen, and make text reports and spreadsheets. Seldom using her normal screen only when she needs something with color. Your eyes feel much more comfortable than using a normal screen after a whole’s work. It’s worth the price!
