Dasung has released a cheaper version of its Paperlike HD E Ink monitor with a 13.3-inch display. The new monitor is a seemingly downgraded version of the original model and lacks touchscreen functionality and front light. The price tag of the new Dasung monitor makes it the cheapest in the Paperlike HD E Ink lineup.

Dasung HD monitor

The signature offering in the Dasung Paperlike HD E Ink series is the Paperlike HD FT which comes with a touchscreen and front light. The Paperlike HD F omits a touchscreen interface but features a front-lit display. The new model, of course, lacks a touchscreen interface but this further accentuates the display itself, as it is more apparent than previously. The absence of a backlight for the display also means that the user will have to rely on external light sources to illuminate the workspace at night.

Apart from the display and backlight, the other specs of the Paperlike HD E Ink monitor are retained from its previous iteration. The 13.3-inch E Ink display has a resolution of 2200 x 1650 pixels and utilizes Dasung’s Turbo high-speed refresh technology. The new monitor also sports Mini-HDMI and USB Type-C interfaces for connection to external devices. The model weighs about 580 grams and is lighter than the top model which weighs about 640g.

Pricing & Availability

The Dasung Paperlike HD E Ink monitor is priced at $683 and can be purchased from the Good e-Reader Store. The two other models (Paperlike HD FT and Paperlike HD F) are currently priced at $798.99 and $748.99 respectively. The new monitor can also be ordered directly from Dasung and is priced at 3,999 yuan ($558).
