noon:
Ray Frenden reviews the too-cheap-to-be-true Monoprice graphics tablets. How do they stack up to industry standard Wacoms?
After spending a week with the 6.25“x10” Monoprice, my Yiynova and Cintiq remain unplugged and I gave my Intuos away to a friend. The Monoprice tracks subtle pressure variances and small movements with less lag and more crisp fidelity than any of the others. It is, put crudely, fucking awesome, in both OSX Lion and Windows 7 x64.
I have one of these, 10×6.5 I bought about two months ago for 48 bucks. It’s a billion times better than my old Wacom Bamboo and works like a fuckin dream.
ATTENTION ALL PENNY-PINCHING ART FRIENDS!!!
ooo reblogging this for potential future purchase
oh
I’m definitely thinking of getting one of these, or asking for one for Christmas. ‘Cause as much as I appreciate Ian giving me his old tablet, I think the pen might be on it’s last legs. ;~;
Oh my god these start at $25 for a little one.
I would be so okay with a little one.
Reblogging this again because I fucking lost it and don’t want to forget it again.
Relevant to some friends’ interests… vaultedthewall , trows …
i got mine for $75 including shipping to australia and i’ve been using it since 2012 and it still works well today, definitely recommend
reblogging so i can find this if i ever think of buying a new one
I know a few young or beginning artists who have been asking me about tablets and were sad that the prices were so high. I told them that was only for wacom tablets, and you can find tablets that are just as good (or even better) for much more reasonable prices. I’m reblogging this for those interested in getting an economically priced tablet. These days, when you buy wacom it’s mostly for the name.
