Braille displays can be over priced this is facts, but with that being said for some they are a need. I couldn't have gotten through school with out braille, and I am sure there are quite a few jobs I would want to have one for. Maybe someday cost won't be so much a problem. I mean with the low cost options you might not get the best display but it probably gets the job done.
