Daylight DC1: World’s First 60 Hz E-Paper!

Update: After receiving another review unit from Daylight today, the issues with Spark being slow/laggy have been fixed. It now works as intended. Also, I realize that there wasn’t much outdoor footage throughout this review. I may make a longer term review with more outdoor use cases if people are genuinely interested.

calling it e-paper is grossly misleading if it’s not actually e-ink

$729?? Man this company is doomed.

It cost more than a E-ink tablet more than an IPAD????????? has neither really the benefits of either LCD or E-INK?????

Switch your Ipad screen to Grayscale mode and using a matte screen protector ! You can read under sunlight. AND IT'S FAST

$299, and I'm considering it. $729 (the actual price), I'm gonna pass. Still stuck around for support!

Instead of focusing on the techy aspects, like weight, PPI and price, it would be more interesting to focus on the use cases. Is the writing & sketching better than on iPad/rM2/Kindle Scribe? How is the reading experience, in nature and in the dark, compared to the other devices? Does it help you to stay focused for longer than a regular tablet? Please consider these ideas when making a 2nd video about the DC1! The price is steep, but if it helps you to be more productive and less distracted for 30 min per day, you will earn the money back easily.

Being honest I don't care about the LCD controversy. I'd like to know how the screen compares to other screens on eye fatigue

I WANT ONE OF THESE!!!! I love my Remarkeable. Having a paper-like display completely changes the loopback with your brain receptors, you don't want to go on instagram as much, you're not like a moth to the flame, it's easier to just use it to read or write notes and put it back down. In fact, one good feature of the Remarkeable is that it DOESN'T have Android so you CAN'T do those other things. I would like a locked-down version of the Daylight maybe.

shouldve explored the use case of using it outdoors for a more charitable viewpoint

Company is in shambles. Saw their launch event. CEO spent 10 minutes talking about guru like bullshit instead of showing the product. Video now taken down from youtube. Display is not e-ink, as their marketing is kind of trying to make people think. Waiting for MKBHD to "destroy" them

I agree on the shortcomings of this product but I feel people are way too quick to beat down on the company. It is only in our interest to have another tech company because the more of them there are, the greater the competition. Of course this 1st gen product is far from ideal and the price is too high to be viable long term but hopefully they will take all of our feedback on board and make it even better. I know I can live without a gadget like this but I know I am a victim of mindless social media consumption and would like to have something that make it easier on the mind.

729$ ? I expected it to be 150$

Glad to finally see a real look at this tablet. I'm really intrigued by it, even with the downsides you mentioned. I think it's great that a company is thinking outside of the box a bit and giving us options aside from the now-formulaic tablet recipe. It's refreshing, and I hope they do well. I'll be interested in picking one of these up (or the successor) at some point down the line.

I want e-ink on a device named e-paper, otherwise I'm out.

The Kindle is not "locked" to the Amazon store, just plug it into your computer via USB and you can drop (compatible) files onto it. One of my favorite things is to put PDFs onto it.

Loved your review. It is an honest look at the current situation and an honest look at the product that actually tells you what you are getting yourself into.

Should have explained what technology it was using at the start instead of being "mysterious" throughout the video

So great!!! Love this review. Thank you so much!!

Thanks a TON, Joshua! That was a very, very informational review! Kudos for solving that "LivePaper" mystery.
