I've been using a 13.3" Dasung Paperlike HD-FT monitor for a few months. I use it without the front light, and set the display to 2x magnification. I'd highly recommend it to anyone having problems with LCD screens. http://dasungtech.com/

How have you been finding it? Do you use it as your main monitor? (Or only at specific times / alongside a traditional monitor?)

For that price might as well get a ThinkBook Plus. https://thenextweb.com/plugged/2020/01/07/lenovo-put-an-e-in...

It works perfectly for reading documentation, writing code, and browsing the web. The refresh rate is fast enough to watch movies, but I haven't done that yet. Switching windows leaves faint artifacts on the screen, but I barely notice them, and there's a refresh button if I want to look at a detailed still image. I use it as my only monitor, and keep my laptop screen turned off. About once per week I'll toggle to my laptop's color monitor to view the art of a Kickstarter campaign, etc.

I don't miss color syntax highlighting, and it's much more relaxing on the eyes. I could imagine others using it as their main monitor in a joint display setup, code in e-ink, browser in color.
