It's pretty great, though the yellow could be a bit nicer yellow and not so mustard-colored. I really feel like I'll just use it in B&W mode most of the time because the refresh rate is faster. That being said, there are cheaper alternatives out there that do partial refresh, which is a huge improvement over this.

Looks lovely, easy to get going. Doesn’t work with the on off shim.

Fun to watch it refreshing, almost mesmerising! Definitely good for someone who wants to learn some abstract coding

This is adorable! Bought it to use as a mini display of sorts as I start to tinker with the Pi. The included examples in the Github repo are really good at helping you understand what you can do. I expect to be back for the pHAT's big brother in red before too long!

Great little product. As my intention was to build a device that allows to attach i2c sensors to a Pi Zero and display the measured values in a reasonable time, I have opted for the monochrome version. To be able to attach the Inky pHAT and the sensor, I modified the Pico HAT hacker, by soldering a booster header and a normal female header to it. The software library made it very easy to generate output forms and use the display. The combination of the device with a BMP280 sensor is described here: https://www.instructables.com/id/Inky-PHAT-Weather-Station/, and includes a short movie on the refreshment process. My only criticism is that you may improve the documentation the library and commands a bit.
