This piece is likely pertinent due to the discussion of e-ink screens: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18100447 from a couple days ago.

I can see the appeal of something Dasung 13" screen: https://www.amazon.com/Dasung-Ink-Paperlike-13-3-Monitor/dp/... for long, sequential text documents. It'd make an interesting second display. Just not for $1,200.

https://www.amazon.com/BOOX-Ereader-Android-Interface-Dual-T... what about $800? (it's not an affiliate link)

That product packs both a screen and a standalone ereader for that price. Sounds like a superior deal compared to Dasung, in every regard.

BOOX ereader has significant delay when it is used as computer display (according to reviews on http://goodereader.com). Dasung display is much smoother.

Right, but you can enable A2 which uses a different drawing algorithm and adjust the full refresh period, but it is NOT a means to play games or watch a movie. If you do, you are probably using it wrong to begin with ;-)

Dasung has a demo video that purports to show the worse response time of an e-reader when used in its monitor mode.

I really would love to see the Dasung 24" screen, if it will happen then I think I can swallow that price.
