Review on Drawing Graphics Function Battery Free Pressure by Justin Garcia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really great price

I've been a digital artist for almost 4 years, but this is my first time using an interactive display that connects to a computer. For perspective, I mostly draw on the iPad with procreate. First reaction: the display came very quickly, I received it within two days thanks to Prime and even arrived early in the morning. It was certainly very well packaged and very well protected but make sure you don't open it upside down as all the wires and everything else will fall out. Make sure you have room to place the display before removing it from the styrofoam as it does take up some space at a whopping 19.5 inches. Setup was very easy and straightforward and the drivers on the website were very easy to find. I had an issue where I had to repeatedly disconnect and reconnect it to my Mac to make it duplicate the display. I'm still having this problem, but I think it's the USB-C hub and not the display. The colors on the display look slightly washed out and the resolution is not what I thought - I found this when exporting to another device such as an iPad/phone or even viewing my drawings on my MacBook when I was working, the colors are slightly different. This isn't the biggest problem or inconvenience in the world as you can just edit on your preferred device after you're done. Usage: In the beginning it took me about an hour or two to get up to speed. I use procreate A LOT so I kept trying to use it as a touchscreen which honestly would be really helpful. It's really easy to use and very user friendly. I love that it eliminates the hand-eye coordination that comes with traditional digital art tablets. It's fast and responsive, and I don't experience any lag while I'm working. The stylus is very slim and I liked its flared base as it's more ergonomic than just a straight stylus like the Apple Pencil. I didn't use the programmable buttons too much as they were too high for my liking. The pen base is great for making sure you don't lose it. You need to make sure when calibrating the display that you press the stylus EXACTLY on the red dot or less, it will be slightly shifted. After a while I found that I liked the brightness of the screen because my eyes are sensitive and my head started to hurt. Overall: I think this is a really great pen display at a price that suits artists of all skill levels. . My resolution was a little better, but after a while you don't really notice it anymore. If you want to immerse yourself in the world of pen displays and screen drawings without tearing holes in your pocket, this is the tablet for you. I don't think you can really go wrong with this, especially considering how large the workspace is. I will definitely recommend it to anyone who asks me about a good pen display.
