Has anyone had any experience with e-ink monitors? I work long hours at a screen and have two problems:

1. I get eyestrain and find it hard to concentrate.

2. The bright screen seems to be very "addictive" and I find myself browsing hacker news, reddit etc. instead of working.

I wonder if an e-ink or RLCD screen might solve these problems. There are some new 25" screens coming out this year.

I am using 80% of my time working with Dasung eink monitor. The advantages are: -Zero eyestrain -Focussed work/Less Distraction -Less temptation to do anything else (e.g. videos) because its not inviting to do so -More energy after work day and improve of sleep quality -No Bluelight exposure

Disadvantages: -Only BW so need to look at normal screen for graphics -Needed two eink screens otherwise two small to work (but ordered now the 25inch one)

Here is a pic of my setup (actually Dasung featured it): https://twitter.com/DasungTech/status/1391693381726658561/ph...

The 25 inch screen is already out and ordered mine, can't wait for it to come: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/paperlike-253-the-first-2...
