I wanted to address the "ergonomics" topic some memers have been posting about tablets and pen displays, from my own experience. I work drawing for 8-10+ hours a day and my main digital tool was an intuos 4 I used for almost 5 years. My worstation setup was ergonomically correct and all but with time I started having cramps on my shoulders that developed into chronic pain. It got to the point that I couldnt work for 2 straight hours without feeling intense pain. A year ago I started using a wood laptop stand that would lift the tablet, and that felt a lot more confortable for a while, though a little pain will appear when working long hours. A couple of months ago I got an XP-pen monitor, it was weird at the start and I noticed a little pressure on my wrist and elbow but by the second week I was already used to the position, and I haven't had pain on my shoulders ever since. I guess it's not the same for everyone, and depends on how you draw (I kinda use the elbow a lot and shit) but I just wanted to say, those memes are bullshit.
