I could use this for coding and my current 1920x1200 monitor for video and games... mmm.... so yummy. I already have a Dasung product, the not-eReader which doubles as a 7" eInk monitor and I love it. It's part of my tech EDC kit which I posted to https://imgur.com/a/xmRmYSn https://imgur.com/a/xmRmYSn To get back on topic, a 25.3" 3200 * 1800 eInk panel is mentioned at https://www.beck-elektronik.de/en/products/displays/e-paper-display-epd/active-matrix-epd/ac253qt1/ https://www.beck-elektronik.de/en/products/displays/e-paper-... and I doubt there is more than one but all details are "tbd".

Neat. What kind of laptop is it?

  That’s a GPD Pocket. Neat little devices.

    Nope, it's a One Mix Yoga 2S, the similar gen GPD Pocket was eMMC, this is NVMe, quite a bit faster. And I believe later GPD Pockets were bigger.

For coding, I'm not sure I could go back to greyscale IDE colours. I love syntax highlighting helping me quickly identify different parts of code at a glance. I would love to try though, might see what the price is first.

  There is mods and hacks to have syntax highlighting on b/w https://forum.ei2030.org/t/best-dasung-eink-monitor-setup/42/4 https://forum.ei2030.org/t/best-dasung-eink-monitor-setup/42...

  I used to think that, but recently I switched my Mac to greyscale, and have actually found it much easier to read and understand code. The shades of Grey are enough to indicate structures and the lack of color makes it much more legible as text.

    What languages/frameworks/patterns are you using? I can’t stand lack of syntax highlighting for JS. If anything, it gives me anxiety when coding.

      The syntax highlighting is done via greyscale though? I think there are also such color schemes out there that you can try out to see how it would work for you even on a normal screen.

  One Mix Yoga 2S. It's mentioned once, I will edit it into more image descriptions.
