I've invested in using eink monitors from Dasung. I use one in landscape and the other in portrait mode. I experience no eyestrain after making this switch, using a computer for 8+ hours a day.

My daily driver runs NixOS, i3wm as my window manager, and I've changed the editor and themes of my most commonly used applications to work with the monitors. I recommend the investment.

I'm lucky not to have eye or hand trouble from heavy computer use, but now that I know a fast e-ink monitor like that Dasung exists, I really want to try it.
It's a pleasure to use for reading documentation/websites and typing. If you decide to purchase an eink monitor from Dasung, I would suggest their latest 3rd generation device.

The prior generations perform adequately, but they require Dasung's software to change the modes and brightness. The modes change the contrast/refresh rate of the monitor. The third generation monitors doesn't need the software to adjust the modes/brightness.

Below is a review of their 3rd gen HD-FT mode. https://youtu.be/5pevlmk5kQs

How fast is the 'worlds fastest', can you actually use these for typing (with your eyes open)?
Yes, completely usable. I've been using these monitors exclusively for all of my tasks for the past 6 months.

I do like it... but 900+ is expensive...
Thanks! That's very nice, a lot better than I expected.
