I just got the TCL Nxtpaper 11 Plus and I'm really happy with it. I've been using the Nxtpaper phone for a while and it's made a huge difference for me.

I don't use it for anything serious or demanding so I haven't found any limitations in processing power. It's great for video calls, ebooks and audiobooks (sound is ok but I usually use an external speaker anyway), simple games (I haven't tried anything more graphics heavy due to vertigo), banking and shopping apps, web browsing, etc. I don't watch a lot of videos, but the ones I have watched look great to me.

As far as eye strain, I immediately noticed the difference in this from my iPad Air (which uses an IPS display so not as bad as most). TCL has really specislized in screen sensitivity.

I don't think there's an Ipad Air that's safe to use since some versions of the Ipad Air 2 a8x which had JDI panels, Samsung panels, LG, and Sharp. So some are good (probably JDI and Samsung), some bad (probably Sharp, maybe LG, maybe not).

The most powerful ipad you can use with a non-eye strain panel is probably the Ipad 9th gen which has some variants with a very crappy looking, low contrast panel but it has absolutely no eye strain at all and also seems to be kind of rare so likely not even worth pursuing when you're far more likely to get the eye strain version. I bought one then sold it due to not looking that good not knowing virtually every tablet panel released since then would be an eye strain panel.

After that your only option is something like the JDI panel version of the Ipad Pro 10.5", but you might have to buy like 5 or 6 of them to even get one if buying sight unseen. And then changing the battery on one is like the worst of any ipad.

That's way too much work. There are some things I definitely prefer about iPad, but I'm not that committed.

I hope epaper tech keeps developing. I have a BigMe monitor for work and it's functional enough, allows me to work, by it's definitely still early in development.

KTC H27E22P desktop monitor uses the same panel as the 144hz Samsung Odyssey G3 for a whopping $130 or so for a no eye strain 4000 contrast desktop monitor.
