I need tablet recommendations!!!
6 years ago
⊹╭━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╮⊹
Recently my tablet pen gave in, and given it's age it would cost ~£90 to get it replaced. So this seems like as good a time as any to make the jump to a screen tablet!
I'm completely out of my depth here 'cause I've never used one before so if any of you guys use screen tablets that you enjoy please recommend them to me!
And yes, i am suffering with no tablet... I want to art... But can't art... *sobs*
⊹╰━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╯⊹
can’t imagine ever going back to a screenless tablet now
good luck
Pros:
-good design
-slim
-multi function and buttons for ease of access
-somewhat large so there is more hand room
-great to see up close details
- it's black. (I love black)
-the pen it comes with, is sent with multiple nibs/batteries, and carry case.
-it comes with a multi adjustable tablet stand for various height settings.
-upon startup, it will ask you if you'd like to update or check drivers, and if you need to backup any specific tablet or brush settings.
Cons:
-The cords are somewhat bulky. But you can get a 2 in 1 cable somehow.
-At times, the pc won't recognize the tablet and you have to restart. This has
to do with the cords of the tablet itself. I am not the only user to deal with this. However this happens rarely.
-because if it's large size, it may seem impractical for travel. However I carry it in a briefcase with no issues.
-it's expensive for alot of people. Not sure if it as changed, but with insurance and screen protectors mine was about 800-1k? Somewhere around there. But I consider it an investment for my work so I didn't mind. The quality is worth it for me.
Using it too and it works exactly like the Cintiq BUT cheaper !
Good luck in your search :)
No batteries on the pens, you do have to charge them (you get an extra one, ive found i got to switch every month and half or so, daily use). 8192 levels of pressure, 21,5 in. Texturized screen to lower glare and has a nice feel on the pen strokes (gotta wear down the nibs though!), and honestly the express buttons and touch pads at the sides are pretty useless if you got a keyboard near, but thats up to every person needs. I havent found any trouble with the parallax.
My only struggles with it is if youre working on thin, slow strokes for say, lineart, ive noticed some wobble; with SAI its not really a problem due to the stabilizator though. Another downside is the 40hz refresh rate on the screen, so if you use it as a gaming/general monitor you can notice some blur when scrolling or just playing anything, but when drawing its unnoticeable. After about 8 months of using it i noticed my pc wasnt using the full color range because it was recognizing it as a TV monitor, do check for that! it made a world of difference once i switched it.
Its about 800$ usd + 70$ for shipping to USA and 6 months warranty, if you got any questions or something hmu, hope it was useful!
