The Dasung Paperlike Color that the company describes as the world’s first portable color E-Ink monitor is now available to buy online. The monitor can be ordered via the Dasung website where it is priced $849.00 USD and is shipping worldwide. The above mentioned price is inclusive of shipping fees though customs or other taxes might be applicable as per the laws applicable in the region where it is going to be shipped. The monitor was first introduced in March this year but its availability has been limited to within China so far. It’s good to see Dasung now introducing the color e-paper monitor in other regions internationally.
That said, $850 is quite a substantial amount by any means even though that is still almost half of what the 25.3 inch Dasung Paperlike Color sells for. Those who’d prefer something more portable can always opt for the 12-inch version instead of the 25.3-inch model which is quite massive. At just 439 grams, the 12-inch monitor can be carried just about anywhere and can be connected easily with either your smartphone or your computer, thereby serving as an eye-friendly extension of your existing computing hardware.
The 12-inch color E Ink display otherwise has a 16:10 aspect ratio and a 2560 x 1600 UHD resolution. It also comes with the company’s proprietary X-Color filter algorithm that allows for deeper black and a more rich and vibrant color output. Also, with Dasung Turbo tech onboard, the refresh rate shouldn’t be an issue, as is often the case with e-paper displays. The company is promising almost zero latency, which is quite apt for viewing online videos or animation smoothly.
The 12-inch monitor also impresses with its design which is reminiscent of the Kindle Oasis, measuring just 5.5mm at its thinnest point. It also comes with a range of physical buttons that will let you quickly adjust the speed, contrast, image mode, and such with perfect ease. Crafted out of aluminum alloy using CNC integrated carving tech, the 12-inch monitor also boasts a durable build in spite of a thin profile.
On the whole, the 12-inch Dasung Paperlike Color e-paper monitor can be perfect for work, study, or for entertainment. Be it web browsing, reading e-books, and documents, creating spreadsheets, or coding, the monitor can be the right choice for every task. The only thing that could still be holding you back from procuring one is the high price tag.
