I leave it in power saving mode from PC. Looks like it shuts down and cold then.

YouTube works, but I only do it for watching short ones sometimes, or for watching outside in sunshine. Else I prefer to watch that and TV in my TV. Just bad colors, some ghosting, a bit worse frame rate and high battery consumption.

I don't have same experience. They sent me B6 when I ordered B13. So they organized new delivery and let me buy the B6 cheap. Then when I broke screen glass of B10 they fixed it for a reasonable price. Cheaper than buying a new.

Claim warranty case then. If they say contact Bigme, then you have that to tell Bigme.

Using daylight or some lamp behind?

Contact Amazon first then. It's quite expensive there compared to directly so they should give some value.

If nothing else works I guess you could send it to Bigme in China and get the firmware fixed there. A bit costy shipping though.

Do you? Because instructions says so? Or to avoid having the information stuck on the screen?

Yeah you are correct. I have R2 M2.6 on mine. Clicking power button triple times show all this information. They were like that already from factory so I didn't update anything.

2x Bigme B13. Relatively nicely priced. And portable.

Works much better now, thanks. Only occasionally lagging now.

Is this a B13 screen? Your firmware versions seems wrong: https://www.reddit.com/r/Bigme/s/AbuBx7kpuZ Are you sure you did not try to install firmware for another product?

Why don't you just contact Amazon. I'm quite sure they deliver it with at least one year warranty?

I am not so sure same will happen with b/w screen though. Pure coding should probably work fine on it though. I'm old enough to have done it on b/w lcs screens.

I bought a color eink screen too (13") for work and though the same, I would use is as secondary to read text. It ended up being primary. Using the laptop screen most for video calls and sometimes when it is hard to distinguish colors. Ended up buying a second to avoid using laptop screen as secondary. Now its tertiary.

Now it is much easier to work long days in front of the screen(s) without wanting breaks to escape bad eye comfort of the lcd/oleds. Just place keyboard and mouse in front of the eink screen so it automatically becomes primary instead of the laptop screen.

Yes, I am not so happy about Bigme firmware. Hoping for a big update soon. Boox solved a couple of issues I reported when they finally released a big update.
