Tablets are hard on your eyes — unless, of course, you own the TCL NXTPAPER 14. Launched in 2024, this paper-like tablet is unlike anything else on the market. And for a limited time, it's on sale for $100 off.

As of Sept. 24, you can get the NXTPAPER 14 tablet (256GB, WiFi), as well as the T-PEN stylus and a protective and convenient flip case, for only $369.99 at Amazon. That's 21% off its usual cost and cheaper than the tablet retails on its own (reg. $399.99).

The TCL NXTPAPER 14 uses the company's NXTPAPER 3.0 technology, which mimics actual paper to keep your eyes working without strain. It's like a Kindle, only double the size at 14.3 inches and with the ability to do tablet-like things. It features a 2.4K anti-glare screen that automatically filters blue light and adjusts brightness, while delivering rich, lifelike colors. You can choose between three viewing modes: regular, color paper, and ink paper.

"From the get-go, their displays really do look like photos printed on actual paper," Mashable's Stan Schroeder said after some hands-on time with the NXTPAPER. "They appear perfectly still and perfectly flat, for lack of better words."

Paired with the T-Pen stylus, the tablet makes an ideal drawing pad, with over 4,000 pressure levels designed to mimic the feel of an actual pen gliding across paper. When you're not using it, the pen snaps onto the magnetic case so you won't lose it.

The NXTPAPER 14 does all the things a regular tablet can do, but you'll find it works best for drawing, note-taking, reading, and multimedia entertainment. And as for the paper-like screen, Schroeder says, "It’s something I didn’t know I needed, but now I wish other manufacturers followed suit." For $369.99, it's certainly worth a shot if you're in the market for a tablet.
