There is also a wireless version that supports Miracast and AirPlay, but that will add $150 to the total cost.ĭasung states that the Paperlike 253 U uses a 'Super Refresh Tech' for a faster refresh rate. Adding a front light to illuminate the screen will run an extra $100 (remember, E Ink does not have a backlight and reflects light for visibility). The Paperlike 253 U starts at US$1798.00. The whole package is unique in the monitor world, but it's not cheap. The monitor has HDMI, DisplayPort, and USB-C support for input, as well as built-in speakers, an audio jack, and an unspecified number of USB ports. However, from a standard viewing distance, it should appear a bit sharper than most standard monitors. This is less pixel-dense than modern e-readers like Barnes and Noble's Nook 4E or the latest Kindle from Amazon. The 25.3-inch panel has a resolution of 3200x1800, resulting in a pixel density of 145 PPI. On paper, the Paperlike 253 U is a solid display. Dasung released a similar product, the Paperlike 253, a few years ago, but the 253 U changes the design slightly by curving the display. The Paperlike 253 U, as its name implies, is a 25.3-inch curved monitor that uses an E Ink panel instead of the typical LCD or OLED screen. A new product from Dasung pushes the display technology into a new market segment: computer monitors. Aside from the odd appearance in various gadgets, E Ink displays have long been relegated to electronic readers and signage.
