Has anyone here had experience in getting used to different DPI when they changed their display (from monitor to display-tablet or whatever)?
Currently I'm drawing with a roughly 144dpi monitor, I got 7 years to get used to it. Now say, if I change to Cintiq Pro 24, the DPI will increase to roughly 173 @ 4k display. If I choose the 32 inch version, the DPI will be at around 130, which is much closer to my current DPI.
Which one should I go for (not talking about Cintiq, but rather, should I go for the lower, but close to my current DPI or switch to higher DPI?) What's your experience in this? Which one feels better/more correct?

>> No.4812301

It's all fine, what you should be concerned about is what size you'll be comfortable concerning hige fucking shoulder swings and having to literally look around.

With a 32" tablet you will have to literally look around for the brushes and menus, it's fucking tremendous.

Higher dpi feels so good man.

yep yep, definitely. I've thought about it, and still thinking about it. Larger shoulder movement would be a plus for me. My current old Intuos Pro Med, without any stand, without any adjustable height whatsoever, limits my movement too much that my right wrist hurts after nearly an hour of painting.
My current table will not allow 32", but right now I've already used like 1/6 of the monitor for statuses and color wheel. More real estate would be amazing, that's not mentioning more space = more space for color wheel = more nuanced colors picking.
Is the Wacom FlexArm good for Cintiq? Or would the Ergo be more than enough?

>>4813576
>Never used a tablet before, what makes someone prefer having a screen vs screenless tablet?
Display tablets are neat, its much more akin to drawing on paper, so you don't have to train your hand eye coordination for the disconnect that comes with regular tablets. Its a lot quicker for someone starting out with digital painting to pick it up. Some people don't like having their hand in the way of their screen and prefer to deal with the disconnect so they can see everything at all times while they work. It's also much easier to have a completely ergonomic workspace with the non-display tablets. A lot of people with display tablets can't handle having it set up as close to a 90° angle as possible and opt to lean over their tablet, causing back and neck issues.

>Any major difference as far as feel, and durability goes?
There are a lot more things that can go wrong with a display tablet since there are more parts. You have to worry about screen brightness slowly going out over time, dead pixels/dead pixel spread, and putting too much pressure on the screen and breaking it. Durability and feel has more to do with the brand and build/driver quality for either kind of tablet.

>Can you use a screen tablet like a screenless if you wanted to?
All the ones I've had have the ability to do this (set it to mirror your monitor and shut the tablet screen off) so I'm assuming all the others have this ability, but its always possible that someone made some dumb shit where you can't use it this way.

$750, but I could go up $900 if I can get a good stand, vesa arm for my screenless tablet. I see a lot of people complain about new Wacom and praise the old tablets, which I'm not adverse to buying, so I'm wondering who has the best quality for the price.

>>Location
US

>>Type (display? non-display? portable?)
Display, please. I've used a screenless tablet for years.

>>Size (in inches)
22-24 inches. I saw that XP Pen has a sell on their tablet, and was wondering which was the better value between Xp pen artist 24 pro and the Xp pen display 22r and which actually supports vesa mounting arm or whatever it's called.

>>Other information
I also need to upgrade by PC, so I wonder how much of a factor that will be.

>>Previous equipment
Huion screenless tablet. I think it was a H610. All the nibs wore down and I legit started using

>>If you have any, state your preferences regarding surface texture (paper emulation, smooth etc)
Never really cared about this stuff, since I mostly just used printer paper to doodle on, but I want to get into digital art, so it'd be cool if someone call tell me the pros and cons of each. Sorry if this was tl; dr. I just want to get a good display tablet without feeling like my wallet got raped. Also, for the people who bought display tablets: did you go directly through the company's website or through a second party like Amazon and possibly bought an extended warranty? I mentioned the sale onXP's site, but I don't see anything about extended warranties and whatever, so I won't have to deal with shipping shit back after it's outside of the manufacturer's warranty.

>I've got the 24pro, also US.

You have the budget for a smaller cintiq if you wanted, but I wanted something huge so I went third party. The 24 is kind of massive coming from a much smaller screenless tablet for 10 years, but I've had mine for about two months and it feels I ike its not that big. However, like >>4812301 said
>With a 32" tablet you will have to literally look around for the brushes and menus, it's fucking tremendous.
It becomes muscle memory but yeah.

The 22R and 24pro are both Vesa moutable, they both come with 2 passive pens and central nibs in the holder to help if you have a nib problem again, and replacement pens aren't too expensive in case you manage to destroy both somehow.
>i need to upgrade my pc
Think of this as you buying a functional monitor for the pc build. At that size you can use it as the main monitor and not feel bad about it honestly. Specs wise, you should be fine. The drivers have been pretty solid.

I got mine on their site, mostly because they give youtubers discount codes i can use there and I feel safer ordering direct rather than getting the Amazon run around these days, plus Bezos has enough Trump bucks. XpPen is kinda priced so you won't care about a warranty because honestly, they're cheap enough if you break it replacing it isn't eye surgery.

Honestly, I say go for either one, or even a cintiq if you felt so inclined. If youre still unsure, there are reviews of the features and youll notice if there's a common issue for you across all the videos. If its not an issue, then you'll be happy.

If youre having second thoughts about the size, a 16" won't be a bad second choice but they often are not mountable.

>> No.4814417

>>4814393
On the 16" not being mountable thing, the parblo/artisul tablet stand is really good and sturdy along with being cheap with good control over what angle you have it at. Makes it comfy. Usually the stands that come with tablets are total shit.

The 24 pro is way nicer than the old 22r. Go with the 24 pro its so fucking nice to draw on. Just be careful when you peel the protective film off, don't accidentally peel off your screen protector like i did

>> No.4814435

>>4814393
>>4814420

thanks for the replies. I think the extra size would be a plus for me, since as lanky skeleton I often had problems finding space to draw properly on my old tablet along with orientating myself with my 17" monitor. I'll keep the 16" Wacom in mind as a backup if I don't like the 22-24" display. I was planning to buy 2 displays in and just avoid the warranty, as long as the build quality holds up. So i might grab two 24 pros.

>>4814420
How hard is it to reapply the screen protector is you accidentally peel it off? Also, I heard people say it's recommended to get the display drawing gloves for drawing on screens for long hours, due to sweat? Do all display tablets have this issues? I know it's going to be a motherfucker drawing during the summer here in Vegas, especially when the AC goes out.

>> No.4814453

>>4814435
If you've got a card handy and manage not to get any dust under it when you accidentally peel it off i think you could get it back on with minimal damage, but I unfortunately ruined mine when I accidentally peeled it and I had to go through the trouble of buying a new one and reapplying it which was a fucking bitch to do. It shouldn't be super easy to peel off i was just being a fucking retard about it and wasn't careful in the slightest, hooked my nail under both pieces instead of just grabbing the top layer of plastic and ripped that fucker straight off. Just don't be a retard like me and you'll be fine.

And yes you want a drawing glove. Especially if you live in a hot climate and you even have a chance of the ac going out. Sweaty hands skid all over the place and leave gross handprints everywhere which makes it hard to see. Plus you want to keep your screen clean anyways for visibility and to reduce any scratching on your screen protector. You should get a shitty glove with the tablet. I hate the feeling of the cheapo fabric rubbing together and always cut off the ring finger making it just a pinky glove.

>> No.4814863

>>4814435
>>4814453
100% you should get a glove. Its not glass smooth, but it's not etched. Sweat that drys on the screen is 1) gross, and 2) going to cause a kind of patchiness you'll notice as your pen its those dried spots. You hand will drag or squeak and its just better to avoid so you can keep working. XP throws one in for free with every tablet, but I've worn mines stitches through so get a spare if you plan on actually using it to draw.

Despite your budget being open I dont think investing in 2 tablets as monitors is a good idea, seeing as you would probably be only using one, seems like a waste to get a second as just a monitor. In place I'd suggest getting a BenQ monitor for good colors and resolution to match your display tablet. But, your budget, your purchase.
I'm a chic so as far as the size goes, bigger has definitely been better to encourage me to do bigger gestures but it's made me realize how short my arms are. The good news is, the 24 (not sure about the 22) has little rubber feet on the bottom so it can just about hang off the edge of your desk for easy access. Guys have naturally longer arms so you should be fine either way.

>>4814420
I'm the other 24pro anon and I have a question for you: What makes you say the 24 is better other than the 2k screen?
Honestly, I'm asking because I wanted the 22R more, since the 24 is a bit bigger than I expected so I was looking to sell it and get the 22 eventually.

Seconding what this guy says. My brother and I bought similar tablets from both Huion and XP-Pen the same year. His had so many more driver problems and usage problems, and the thing degraded insanely fast, whereas mine still worked as good as new 5 years later, save for one of the two pens dying on me. Upgraded to the XPPen 24 Pro, couldn't be happier. The new drivers are an absolute dream too, have barely had to fiddle with them at all.

It only does that if you've got windows ink on. All tablets right now are having problems with windows ink, since Microsoft suddenly changed a lot of the way their program functions and released the update without telling anyone about it. As long as you're not using that shit on a program that doesn't need it to function, it doesn't lag.

>>4819959
Huion feels super cheap, sometimes their internals have wires crossed in a bad way or pieces that are not soldered properly, left rattling around in the tablet. Their drivers are the worst I've ever tried. My pressure curve line and dots were outside of the box theyre supposed to be in, unable to be clicked on or adjusted, just hanging out on the desktop outside of the program window. Things can get mega fucky with them and support is a total joke. There's a good reason they're called the shittiest tablet company.

I saw someone else make a post about the XP-Pen Artist 24 Pro the other day and I figured I might as well chip in with some thoughts of my own.
I've never owned or even seen a Cintiq irl so I don't really have anything to compare it to, but first impressions are really good, the thing looks and feels like it's well-made.
However, there were a few things I noticed once i started using it that might give prospective buyers something to think about

>There was some weird flickering of certain pixels when I first powered the thing on.
It looked like dead pixels but it's not that since they work now and the problem only appeared on the first startup

>Pen Pressure was wonky for light pressure after a long drawing session
During that first day, towards the end, the pen pressure started to be wonky where it would not detect light pressure. This seemed to be more of a problem with CSP though since pen pressure was detected correctly by the driver, and also when I re-calibrated it the pressure was fine.

>The drawing surface texture is kinda smooth.
I only have an Ipad with a paperlike to compare it to, but the paperlike is much rougher and nicer in that regard. The XP-Pen isn't bad though, just feels different, and I imagine Cintiqs have a rougher surface too?

>When doing very, very light strokes, the line might "skip" since it stops detecting pressure

>Colours seem to be accurate, but not vibrant
I don't know if this is a thing on other drawing tablets too, but the colours look kinda washed out when I compare it to my Ipad or my monitor, both of which are very colour accurate.

Other than these issues above that I experienced once or twice so far it seems pretty good. Buttons and the scroll wheels feel solid, and the rest of the tablet doesn't creak or otherwise feel like shit. I definitely expected much worse before I received it since people keep saying that anything but Wacom is actual dogshit. Shows how much you should trust a certain poster in this thread :^)

The mounts are really sturdy so as long as everything is set up properly and secured you've got nothing to worry about. Also you just need to make sure that the VESA mount you choose is capable of holding more weight than you need it to if you're really that worried about it. Again, as long as you account for more than the weight of the tablet and set it up properly you'll be fine. Go for it!

Why? Its the exact opposite. Digital artists now have the option to not get their pants pulled down.

you can't extend a patent, also if a company has a monopoly you're not actually getting the best stuff cause they give you what they want as there is no pressure to deliver great product, also because there is no competition because of monopoly you don't have anything to gauge if the product is the best it can be.

I think you're misinterpreting their pricing, they werent expensive because of the quality, they were expensive because they held the keys to the important tech and thus were the only option and they knew it. This has become abundantly clear now that we see tablets with the same build quality, reliability and technology going for a 6th of the price. Tablets are actually very basic bits of equipment and wont be expensive to manufacture at all. Thats why they can be sold at a 6th of the price and still make a profit. Wacom has built their revenue models and predictions off of their product prices, which have been on a premium high for the last 3 decades. This means that their entire company, wages, stakeholder predictions, dividends etc have all been built around their prices, meaning they dont really want to cut back and try to be more competitive with cost leadership, rather they want to go the apple way of riding on their name for as long as possible to get every last penny they can. Surefire way of highlighting just how boomer their execs are.

Nope, that's just something you get used to.

Currently all Xp-Pen pens require a little bit of pressure before they start detecting anything at all and then the pressure curve applies.

They have some pen to pen variability that is related to the tuning rheostat inside the pen.
If your pen requires too much initial force to activate or the opposite detects a spike right after that minimal threshold it can be tweaked by this little screw.

It can be accessed without disassembly by just popping the rocker button out of the pen. You don't need to disassemble it entirely, just pop the button out with a tiny screwdriver like they use for glasses.

After all the digging and sifting through hundreds of amazon reviews, artist reviews, reviewer reviews and forum posts, Ive concluded that display tablets are just unreliable bits of technology in this day and age. The only line of tablets that have extremely few complaints are the giant pro cintiq lines for studios, going for the price of a second hand car. Every tablet underneath those all have contradicting reviews from all kinds of sources. For instance, Ive read several reviews stating that the colours on the Kamvas pro 2019 are good, then the very user reviews on amazon say its biggest weakness are its colours. Or how forum posts say that wacom cintiqs are the way to go for their reliability but the posts from the very same forum say that the drivers crash all the time and cause mayhem.

One reviewer says that the cintiq 16 has a higher quality display than the kamvas 20 pro with better colours, and in the next article I read, the kamvas 20 pro is listed as a better buy for the superior colours. I have no idea what to believe, and the only real remedy is to just buy the most expensive one and tell myself thats going to be the best I can get in 2020. I just want a tablet which has as high quality display (colours, contrast ratio) as my IPS display.

I've been watching a lot of Huion and XP-Pen display reviews and everything is pointing towards at least buying a 16 inch display tablet to give it a try. This stuff with Corona really screwed up the prices for older 'safer' Wacom tablets due to price gouging, but as build quality goes, the newer Wacom tablets you're just paying for the name, so the cheaper competitors can legit compete.

IMO that's a pretty common thing with all screen tablets, since the sitting position these devices forced you in would strain yor back and your neck. I personally find lying down is the comfiest position to draw in these things so far, with my neck on the armrest/some pillows and the tab on my lap

If you order from amazon you can return it anyway regardless of anything within an enormous timeframe. But what dyou mean with knockoff? Was it an offbrand copy?

Also, if youre going for wacom, I wouldnt advise getting any of their non pro tablets. They purposefully make them far inferior and not just in basic but workable factors such as lower screen res, but also in display quality. The wacom 16 has 72% rgb. If you only do sketching and linework then that doesnt matter, but if you plan to colour anything then unless you want to keep moving your picture to your main display to see what you're actually painting each time, the 16 isnt a good choice. After line quality, colour accuracy and good contrast ratio are the most important characteristics of a display, and one that is strangely undervalued by most reviewers.

I'm currently using a Cintiq 21UX, is making the switch to a Cintiq 22HD worth it?

Seems like the only benefit is just a bit more room and a normal screen aspect ratio. Is pen responsiveness better? Is there something else I'm missing here?
