LTT just did a video[1] on an 25inch E-Ink display[2] that runs at 15Hz. It worked way better than I thought it would and is a pretty decent size. Little pricey. [1] [this video] [2] [LINK]

‘Quite high’ is still not what you’d think of as ‘quite high’ if you’d never experienced earlier versions of eink though. LTT on YouTube has some video reviews of Dasung’s displays. I know tastes vary when it comes to LTT - and they focus on some ridiculous things in the reviews (Can you game on them? Obviously, no.) but if you get past that I do think the videos do a a good job of showing how the monitors feel. [this video] [LINK]
