Very good, once you work out some of the quirks involved :) The biggest tip I can offer is that the "AUTO" type detect didn't work at all, and I had to use "--type ssd1608" to make it do anything at all. Documentation could be improved, hence 4*, but the actual display is excellent. The BLACK display updates in about 2 seconds, but the other coloured ones apparently take ~15 seconds, even if you're only using the black ink. Order accordingly!

The Initial one was seemingly DoA but Matt in support sorted out a replacement really quick. The new one works like a charm.

Good PHat with good refresh rate and a nice quality

Great product, does what it says and great python library overall. I removed one star because the refresh process and blinking/flashing is a major constraint that prevents using the screen for many purposes. An option in the python library to adapt the behavior would be great.

There’s really only one word to describe it.... perfect! Clean, clear, low energy display. Easy to fit. Fast delivery and superb after sales service. Thankyou

This is great for prototyping projects needing a display, or where there isn't a requirement for fast refreshes, e.g. every second. There's really good support and the python library seems very powerful.

Great for prototyping projects with displays since they are very good value. Refresh rate isn't very fast so not suitable for things that require, say, an update every second. Excellent support from Pimoroni when I ran in to some problems. Ideal if you're working in Python.
