Is the Paperlike Pro Monitor the Fastest E Ink Device Ever? (Video)

July 8, 2017 by Nathan

Paperlike Pro

Dasung recently released a new version of their E Ink monitor called the Paperlike Pro.

It’s designed to work as a secondary monitor for computers, and this new model adds an HDMI port for faster response times. It supports Windows XP and up, some versions of Mac OS X, and Linux Ubuntu.

The Paperlike Pro has a 13.3-inch E Ink screen. There’s a Pearl version and a Carta model.

Currently the device is only sold in China and the specs are all written in Chinese so it’s hard-telling what half of them mean, but you can find a list of them on the Dasung website.

Dasung uploaded a new video to YouTube today and the speed of the Paperlike Pro is indeed impressive. It’s definitely faster and has less ghosting than using an E Ink ereader to mirror a computer’s display like we recently saw with the Onyx Boox Max.

They say the Paperlike Pro is faster than any ereader. They even claim the response is as fast as LCD. The monitor can play videos somewhat smoothly and web browsing looks better than you’d expect from E Ink. It may in fact be the fastest E Ink device ever. What do you think?

    This would be ideal for a laptop…where you basically handle Word, Excel, email, etc… Instead of heavy graphic applications.

      It would be pretty cool to have an E Ink laptop for that kind of stuff, and battery life could be like 40 hours.

          Could you tell me about it? Can it be used as a standalone ebook reader, like kindle or kobo?
          Does it have its own CPU, RAM, storage (how much storage? SD expansion?)?
          Ebook formats supported?
          Functions?
          IR or capacitative display?
          Weight?
          Price?
          Availability and where to buy?

    I would let my son play some of the best turn-based strategy games knowing that it wouldn’t strain his eyes too much. If the monitor were half the price and had worldwide service supppoort, I would get myself one and then recommend it to parents as an alternative to eye-killing console games.

    I’d buy now one… if sold. Unfortunately on amazon there is no “paperlike pro” to sell from dasung. I will try on their site, although i still wonder how much trust one can put in their delivery service. If what we see in the above video is genuine and there is no trick for the eye used in it, what dasung made is absolutely convincing and fabulous. I also wish someone build a laptop with it.

    I bought the first version one year ago from them, excellent customer service and support. I would definitely recommend to buy from them directly.

    Hello,
    I would greatly benefit from this product. Is there a way to type Word-compatible documents and perform email tasks on it??

      It’s like a typical secondary monitor so yeah it’s going to show whatever’s on your computer.
