It's buggy, don't buy

07/20/2020: A year and a half later, this tablet is really annoying me. First the handle broke a few months after purchase. My warranty was still out, but I had to travel A LOT back and forth to get a replacement. The pen was free, but shipping was about $15. That was excellent. Then the handle started to stick. I removed the stylus from the screen, but the stroke continued as long as the stylus stayed within inches of the screen, even though I didn't press it again. I switched to my old tablet for a long time when this tablet didn't work. I recently took it out of retirement when I got a new computer and thought maybe this time it would be better. NO. The display is now glitchy, the cursor jumps around a lot and doesn't draw where the cursor is. I've tried not connecting a display and using it as a tablet, but trying to take control of this stupid thing is ruining my already injured wrists. I only left one star because it still works as a very tiny and overpriced second monitor and I'm going back to my 5 year old Wacom pen tablet. There are many other budget screen tablets out there, so don't get this one. 12/29/2018: The tablet was difficult to set up. My main issue was that the 3-in-1 cable is HDMI and my computer uses VGA. I had to buy several adapters until one worked. Also, I had to do a lot of googling to get everything on the right monitors. Everything else is pretty cool once setup is complete. Colors are pretty good, and since I'm looking at the cursor and not the pen tip, parallax is okay. I mostly draw in the center of the screen, so the size is okay too, but the larger Pro-13 might be worth considering.
