I tried using a Dasung e-ink monitor, then I asked for a refund because I cannot review PRs on it. Even though it is a color e-ink monitor, I could barely tell if a line of diff was an addition (green) or a removal (red)

Kaleido color eInk is a dead-end. The displays are too dark to use in anything but direct sunlight. I regret purchasing such a display.

However, black and white eInk is great to use in any well-lit environment and doesn't need direct sunlight. However, the lack of color can be fatal for many workflows.

Yeah I watched the Linus tech tips review of it and the color one doesn't seem good. I'd rather try the monochrome one.
Did you try changing the highlighting colours to colours that do represent well?
No. I do remember that I tried all the modes the display provides, but none of them are good for my workflow
Sounds like you could have used GreaseMonkey to override the CSS
Yeah, that could help I guess
