Hims Inc. also offers some great Braille displays. I have the BrailleEdge 40, and I'm using it almost constantly. It's a truly great machine, and the company stands behind its products, offering quick turn-around time if the machine needs servicing. I think that's a crucial point. Someone told me that the Braille Me, offered by National Braille Press is inexpensive, but repair is hard to get. I'll also say that using a Braille device with an iPhone allows you to find things and perform functions on your phone quickly.
