Good Stuff - Martha Parra, Sep 04, 2008

Not a Wacom, but it is worth it, work just fine, I only wish i would have more information on the web about calibrating the monitor and advance software to control it and the pen also. Maybe more support from the developers or a fac section or blog or something on the web site.
I still have not calibrate correctly wih the mini software it comes with it, but in fact I get use to work with the pen not well aligned to the mouse pointer. Other thing when you draw, using pens pressure produce lines with a lot of arefacts, neither straight or smooth, so you have to work with a lot of zoom to get it properly well. It is a good cheaper option.

Pretty suave - William Leu, Apr 05, 2008

It's pretty much as advertised; it's pretty large, you draw on it, and the display is crisp. There are a few small problems though:

There's a small gap between the glass you write on and the actual screen - somewhere between a third to a fourth of an inch - so when doing really precise actions you might be a little off where you intended to place the cursor if you're viewing the screen at an angle. I'm sure that's a problem with all tablet monitors so that can't be helped, just FYI.

I had a case where I was messing with a non-zoomable canvas and decided to lower the resoloution really low to compensate - which makes the cursor offset quite a bit (like half the cursor's size - which is alot for me at 800x600) off. Not a big problem unless you're trying to get the pen to a very specific spot.

The tablet monitor input on my Vista machine seems to only want to work as my main monitor. Sure, I can make it an extension monitor and it displays fine, but if I try to write on it, it acts as if I was drawing on the main/other screen. So if it's not set as my main monitor, every time I want to use it I have to switch my display settings.

The picture is sharp and the input at high resoloutions is very accurate and responsive. The stand/prop is sturdy but as a tablet monitor with the assumption that you're always looking down to write, there's no way to prop it up like a regular monitor on a flat surface using the built-in stand. Mine didn't come with any dead pixels, so that's always a plus too.

Closest thing to pen to paper - David T. Johnstone, Aug 26, 2007

As an Artist and coming of age with the new tools around, the computer was waiting to be the next media. With the Adesso Tablet monitor that you can actualy draw on this was the answer. Looked around on the net to find out what was out there and the others were a bit $$$$ after some thought decided to go with Adesso, arrived easy to plug in and set up and started creating right off the bat, the pen behaves just like your hand to paper, soft, hard, thick, thin and so on.With the money that I saved I loaded my computer up with Corel Painter X, and WOW a full blown studio in my computer. Thanks Adesso!
