    I’ve been using a Bigme B251 [0] (likely the exact same panel) for about 9 months now. I recommend Amazon simply due to return policy; these can come with bad panels. They don’t notably fail early if the panel is fine when you get it.

    Refresh is slow, colors are low saturation, and there is ghosting.

    It’s also an absolute JOY to use for anything text related once you get past those differences.

    For those on MacOS stillcolor [1] is an absolute MUST.

    I’m open to any questions!
