That's odd, I thought this issue is specific to the apple silicon macs. It's the first time I heard about this issue under a mac that has an intel CPU. Which mac model do you have? My brother has an intel mac, I can try it out with this monitor. Alternatively you can also make a post on the eink subreddit and see if other people have a solution for you?

@@serige My mac is MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) with MacOS 12.7.1, I connect with Dasung 103 ,and it is flickering, I also have a Bigme251, I connected to PC without any problem ,maybe I can try to connect the Bigme251 with this mac next time to see if it is flickering too

Really depends on your use case. For me, I mainly want to work on coding for long hours without serious eye fatigue and this monitor is what I am using daily. I can make another video about my experience if there is a demand.

No worries. I have also mentioned on the reddit thread there are few other minor issues currently with the latest firmware. Just make sure to do your research thoroughly before spending the money on such an expensive product :)

@@serige can you share the reddit thread please?

also I would love if it´s possible a demo of it playing a video

@@nilsonlagos987 I would say have a low expectation for watching videos, don't even try to play games on this. The picture quality for video is actually worse than a B&W eink display because of the color overlay. But the improvement over the previous gen Kaleido screen is definitive there. I wouldn't want it as the only monitor display. For the optimal setup you will need an side LCD monitor like I have here. Again, I can do another video about my experience if there is enough demand.

I am not sure the they mean by "reflective" either. If you are asking for 'glossiness' of the screen with front light off, the Mira is the least glossy. The Bigme is the most glossy (the Dasung isn't that much better). I honestly don't think it bothers me because the Bigme has plenty of screen real estate, there is only a part of the monitor that gives you the shinny reflection when you seat in front of it. Also with the correct light source surrendering the monitor, it shouldn't be a big problem for most people, unless your eyes are super sensitive to this.

That’s super helpful, thank you! @@serige

I don't really use the Mira on my Mac because of its flickering issue with the M1 chip. As far as I know the text mode and read mode in the Mira are two very different modes. Text mode is a high contrast mode, suitable for reading fax quality scan documents or just black and white texts. The Read mode is more for images that show details. So I assume you meant the Read Mode or the similar Image Mode in the Mira? The drawback of these two mode is the heavy ghosting if there is any movement on the screen.

Good to know-it sounds like I mean Read Mode. I’m curious if your Dasung and Bigme Read Modes are both excellent (like, where a scanned image is super clear and shows every detail pretty much like an LCD monitor)? And if so, which monitor has the better Read Mode, the Dasung or the Bigme...?@@serige

@@cpet3589 The Bigme monitor has a Picture mode that is supposedly for displaying crisp images (at the expense of having a bit more ghosting whenever there is screen movement). And this is what you are looking for. But so far I know there are 2 major issues with this monitor, one is the mouse lag, another one is their Picture mode implementation on this monitor is buggy (it flashes even with no movement). So I won't be able to answer your question which one is better. Also I don't know if the Dasung color e-ink monitor has a dedicate image mode, you should ask on reddit to confirm this. However, I know the image mode on my Bigme Inknote+ is really really good, it's better than the Read mode on the Mira. I am hoping there will be a firmware update that fixed the picture mode issue along with the lag. We will see. Regarding to one of your early questions, the video mode doesn't flash but I think we are still 2 or 3 generations away from having an enjoyable video consumption experience on an e-ink monitor ;)

@@serige Hi Serige-it sounds like the Bigme Picture Mode flashing issue would be a problem for me. Good to know! Picture Mode or Read Mode (on a monitor) is what I want for my job. I’d also like to use the Read Mode for personal things like desktop filing-but I’m thinking it might be frustrating when every time you drag a file across your desktop you’d need to refresh ghosting. Regarding the Dasung color monitor having a Read Mode--you’re right, I need to make sure it does. That said, I’m assuming if Dasung color has a Read Mode, it would be a lot like the black and white Dasung’s Read Mode. Not sure if you’re into it-but if you’re ever using your Dasung, and you feel like checking out the Read Mode to see if it’s as crisp and clear as the Boox Mira’s Read Mode and want to let me know-that would be amazing. I’m considering buying the Dasung color monitor… Thanks again for your reply:)

@@cpet3589Hi, they released a new firmware update today to address the mouse lag issue. I would say the monitor is a lot more useable now. The picture mode under Windows 11 is perfect now, with no flashing whatsoever if you have static contents. But the picture mode flashing is still present in my M1 macbook pro. Hopefully the next firmware will address that.

Keep in mind that this monitor has 2200х1650 resolution. It may be a problem for you old PC with old video card. Fo instance I was forced to replace my weak video card to support this resolution.

I think I was trying to do that at some point and I had the video half way done. I will definitely upload a vid if I can manage to have more time to get it done.

I got it from here: item.jd.com/10031496972785.html but I would highly recommend you know or understand basic Chinese before you buy or have a friend who knows Chinese to help you to make the purchase if you really want one now. I also don't recommend using google translate.

@@serige thank you

@@serige its now available on boox shop btw

@@einkereaderlovers4069 That's great! I didn't know they were able to get it out so quick! People can buy one without having to making risky purchases from Chinese e-commerce sites (albeit I paid around $780 for the unit included shipping). Thanks for the heads up!

@@serige welcome. and wow thats a good deal man. Much cheaper than the intl version. Nice.

Yes. Mira is white

@@einkereaderlovers4069 and has BOOX written on it

@@johndumpling1896 :)

Black is dasung

It is adjustable

Because this is bleding edge tecnology! Wait 10 years and you will have 25 inches monitors for the same prices as LCD monitors. These are the first EVER 25" eink monitors. You barely had a generation of 13" eink monitors. Prior to that, no monitors, just ereaders. You can't expect new tech to be developed and sold cheap like mature tech.

Yes dasung is faster

That appears to be the case here, but there are different display modes you can choose in both devices to adjust for your needs.

Dasung is better.

Boox is good

I would say there is not a huge difference between them. I can easily use one instead of another without too much issue. However the Mira is a lot cheaper and has a better design than the Dasung imo.

@@serige Thank you for sincere answer!

Yes, I wouldn't say the Mira is better than the Dasung but given the Mira's price point, it is definitely a great option besides the Dasung. On the other hand, if you already have a Dasung, there is no need to sell it and get the Mira.

@@serige If you don't consider price, which is better? It was hard to tell. They both seemed amazingly fast with no lag? Do you get a lag? I have a Max2, and I gave up on using it as as second screen because of the lag time. From what I saw, it seemed the Dasung had better contrast, but the Mira was slightly faster with the Mouse and with typing. I could be wrong, and I couldn't tell with the video. Since you are one of the few people who have them both, I would love more commentary from you. Also, do they both have front lights? How are the front lights?
