✨ Enhance Your Creativity with ASUS PT201Q 19.5 Inch Digitizer Monitor Review

(ORIGINAL REVIEW: May 2015) – Updated below. If you are considering using this device, make sure you do some testing before deciding to keep it. I've had 2 defective units which presented issues that are dubious for a modern budget monitor but totally unacceptable for a monitor in this price range. I'm a professional illustrator and I do all my work digitally. . This device promises quite a lot, and for the most part it delivers what it promises. Pen sensitivity is good, as is multi-touch. The…

I really like this monitor. The touchscreen and stylus are amazing and exactly what I wanted for my art. There doesn't seem to be any delay. I haven't tested it with all my programs yet, but it works fine with Photoshop CS4. First let me say that when it first appeared I couldn't get the monitor to display. I called ASUS tech support and they helped me troubleshoot and were also at a loss we all thought "died on arrival". I requested a replacement through Revain and they sent one. When I got…

I believe you are considering purchasing this product as a device for drawing and creating artworks. If yes, stop. Do not buy this product. Replacement nibs / pen nibs are nowhere to be found at any price! They wear out with use! All other digitizer manufacturers offer them for sale, but not ASUS. Jerry, representative of the ASUS Customer Loyalty Program, stated in comments on other reviews on Revain that tips are available. It is not so. Here's the reply to my email asking me to buy a few.…

I bought the device in January 2016. Attention buyers: As of MAY 2016, Asus no longer sells replacement nibs/nibs in its new online shop. They can be bought at Zandparts, an online HW parts store from Europe, but they cost five times what they sold at the former Asus parts store. Without delivery. For those wondering, some applications can be run with Wintab compatibility by installing the Microsoft Wintab Surface Bridge driver, but the application must be run with the PT201Q as a single…

How to get new nibs according to Asus Support: If a customer has purchased a device and needs nibs and the device is under warranty, all they have to do is send the device back to us and we will provide the nibs. For non-warranty devices, the same process applies, only the buyer pays the repair cost plus shipping cost.

The screen is fine for my purposes, I sketch in Alias Sketchbook Pro, but the cables that come with it are of pretty poor quality. I had to replace the USB cable with a better one from Anker when touch stopped working. It turned out to be a cable. Recently, on dark blue backgrounds, I've noticed that white objects like open file windows show vertical halos that follow the windows as you drag them across the screen. See photo. I have mixed feelings about the device. It was a good price when I…

Just unbelievable! I know you may like your Cintiq, but this completely destroys the Cintiq 13.3. The pixels are visually odd at first, but I have them fully visible across 160 degrees of the screen in every direction. The touch portion of the screen is so responsive that it can be used like a keyboard. The sensitivity of the stylus works great once you calibrate it and match it to the program you are using. The best feature is the Displayport, the Displayport supports a lot more color options…

Pretty impressive. I don't understand why ASUS doesn't advertise this more profitably. It's a great alternative to the overpriced Wacom. There are several videos online showing its capabilities as a drawing tool with some creative tips on the Tablet PC Review forum. The tip is strong and thin, which is what I was looking for.

To edit. Now there are springs in the Asus parts shop! So, as promised, I've edited it and will pick one up when I get a chance. Edit2. They just closed the pars store so there are no more feathers so I'm resetting my star rating to 1 until they fix this or wintab issue. Great monitor, the only thing missing now is a wintab32.dll to make it work with any sculpting app. Fusion 360 works great with pen and everything. 3D Coat works with a hacked library. If anyone from Asus (or Sharp?) is reading

A great device - Draw on screen on a pen monitor at a fraction of the cost of a comparatively large Cintiq. The multi-touch is great, the stylus is responsive, and the articulating stand allows me to create professional-looking illustrations with an ease that's more intuitive than a graphics tablet or mouse. I was apprehensive about buying this as there is so little information on it but I'm very glad I took a chance. I LOVE this stuff! The cable doesn't get in the way as much as you might…
