The Dasung Link 2 is a 6.7-inch portable E-Ink monitor designed for mirroring a smartphone's display, aiming to reduce eye strain with its paper-like, glare-free surface. It does not operate independently, lacking its own processor, cellular capabilities, and operating system, which means it fully relies on the connected smartphone for functionality.

This monitor boasts a 6.7-inch monochrome E-Ink display with a pixel density of 300 PPI, providing a resolution comparable to high-end e-readers. The display’s ambient light reflection and adjustable dual-tone front light enhance comfort during nighttime use.

The Link 2 features DASUNG’s high-speed refresh technology, operating at 60Hz, which allows for smooth scrolling, typing, and video playback with minimal ghosting. It utilizes wireless screen mirroring for seamless display broadcasting from both iOS and Android devices, and users can interact directly with their smartphone by tapping and swiping on the E-Ink screen.

Constructed with an ultra-thin metal body, the device includes multi-function physical keys for image enhancement and contrast adjustments. It is designed to be used with magnetic power banks for outdoor convenience. The monitor does not have an internal battery to maintain its lightweight design, instead featuring dual USB-C ports and typically requiring external power.

The Link 2 depends on the smartphone’s CPU, RAM, and app performance to function and is compatible with Android 12 and later, as well as recent versions of iOS and HarmonyOS. It is priced at $329 for the version without a battery and $349 for the battery-equipped variant. It comes in two colors: Space Grey and Glacier Blue.
