Ugee 1910B Pen display Drawing monitor Graphics Tablets with 2048 Pressure Sensitivity 19 Inch for Mac and PC

I ordered this tablet to use professionally, as a freelance artist. I have used a regular drawing tablet (no monitor) in the past, and I was looking for something with a screen. Of course, people usually think of Cintiqs for this purpose, but that was out of my budget. I decided to give it a go and order the 1910B.All I can say is, WOW! The price of this tablet is already a serious deal, considering there are no other decent tablet displays on the market at a similar price. However, the price isn't the only pro.I've been using the tablet for a year now for paid work, and it has changed my art career. Once you start drawing on a tablet monitor combo, you seriously can't ever go back to a traditional tablet! (I've attached some art I've created with this tablet in Photoshop.)PROS:-Large and vibrant screen. I'm able to set up Photoshop on 3/4 of the monitor and still have room for photo references on the side.-Very pressure sensitive and responsive pen. Also, the driver settings allow for choosing how sensitive you'd like the pen to be.-Sturdy stand. Seriously, my cats have jumped all around this thing and I've never been nervous of it tipping over. The angle is really easy to adjust with a lever on the upper back.-Easy to clean the glass screen, and it isn't prone to scratches at all. After a year of use, the glass is still as it was when purchased.-Works effortlessly with Photoshop-The pens need to charge via USB, but they do so pretty quickly, and the battery lasts for weeks!CONS:-The screen runs a little brighter than traditional monitors, but it's pretty difficult to tell the difference unless you look closely-If you tend to press really hard when you draw (like I do), the pens are prone to cracking around the nib. Luckily, the replacements are pretty cheap and arrive quickly. I recommend setting the sensitivity to where you don't need to press too hard! It's better to do that anyway, to save your hand!NEUTRAL:-I've found the tablet works best with painting in Photoshop-The drivers might be a little bit of work to get going, but after that, you should be set!Overall, I think this tablet is a must buy for someone who wants to take their art to the next level, but doesn't have the funds to purchase something like a Cintiq. It's a really sturdy and reliable piece of technology. I have noticed heaps of improvement in my artwork since I started using it.I cannot stress enough how much I appreciate that there are display tablets out there for artists who can't afford something similar for $1,300.

7 Month update.I've been using this tablet for about 7 months now and I've nothing but good things to say. It's improved my work tenfold and I'd highly suggest it to anyone looking for an inexpensive, quality tablet.One of the pens I received stopped holding a charge, but customer support was fast and shipped me out a new one. I'm really impressed with how well they handled the issue.----------These are my first impressions. I'll update if anything else pops up.I was a tad wary at first of buying this tablet. I've seen the other, more popular cintiq alternatives get good reviews, but I hadn't seen much on this one. But after reading through the amazon comments I decided I'd take the plunge and give it a try, and wow I think I'm in love.First off the packaging. I had seen some comments that it was sparse, but mine was anything but. Everything was well packaged with lots of padding around the actual tablet, which was neatly wrapped in plastic, with not a single smudge on the screen.Now the setup. I had read lots of horror stories about the drivers on these things, but I was prepared for it all. To my surprise the setup was completely effortless. For anyone looking at buying this tablet, here's what you do.1. Uninstall your old tablet drivers and reboot.2. Download the latest drivers from the Ugee website and install them. Reboot once again.3. Plug in the tablet.That's it. After a good 10 minutes I was up and running on the thing without a single hitch. I had more problems installing and maintaining the drivers on the Intuos 5 that this replaced.And then finally the tablet. Wow this thing is a lot bigger than I was guessing. It's a tall 19 inch, that sits at a 16:10 aspect ratio. The screen is bright, but surprisingly on point as far as my own color preference goes. Only thing I needed to do was dial back the brightness a bit, but out of the box it was pretty spot on, which I've never seen with a monitor before. The screen resolution is the only thing kinda "meh" about the tablet, sitting at 1440x900, but I knew it was gonna be on the lower side. It works just fine for sculpting in Zbrush, but I could see how for drawing how it might be a slight issue. It's also a basic TFT display, which might be a problem if you're a stickler for colors, but my trash bin eyes can't tell much of a difference between it and the IPS display behind it. I also was able to use this as it's own proper monitor, despite most people reporting that you have to double a primary display.The pens are modeled off of the Wacom design, which I really appreciate coming from an Intuos 5. The ergonomics are nearly identical, and if not for a fairly prominent plastic seam running down the side of them, I could easily mistake the two just picking them up. They're both rechargeable and charged pretty fast. I've yet to fully exhaust one of the pens so I can't comment on battery life. A small annoyance is that you can only bind the buttons on the pen to different mouse click combinations. I'd of liked to see the ability to use key presses, and modifiers, but it's not a big deal breaker.I am extremely happy with this tablet. The price is great and you get a lot for what you pay for. Time will tell if it holds up, but right now it's already improved my workflow tenfold.

I bought this as a Xmas gift and well after Xmas we are still setting it up. The first thing you need to understand is how it actually operates. This device ‘duplicates’ your computer screen on the tablet screen and allows you to use a touch sensitive pen to draw directly on the tablet screen; we were originally trying to set it up independent till we figured out the screens had to be duplicated. It implies that in an illustration but doesn’t spell it outIt does not come with drawing software; it doesn’t say that anywhere so again it’s something you sort out on your own. It’s not a crisis as you can download ample free drawing software on the web; it’s just another frustrating waste of time till you figure out there is no software with it. The CD that comes with it is for Drivers. Your drawing software is loaded onto your computer and opened there which in turn displays it on your touch tablet simultaneously where you can then draw on the screen using the drawing tools in the softwareI like the concept of this tablet but this is an extremely frustrating device to set up. Once set up it works good. I spent 2 days with Geek Squad techs trying to get through the set up process. You go through hurdle after hurdle; it’s anything but user friendly or easy. It took me 2 days to just understand how it works and that there is no software with it. This was attributed to not being able to charge the drawing pens which prevented me from completing the initial set up. Till that’s done you don’t know what’s stored in the tablet.The instructions only make sense after you spend hours figuring it out on your own and then look at them and say to yourself Oh that’s what they meant. You have to follow each sentence in the manual meticulously They have illustrations but no description or directions on what to do. You just have to figure that out on your own hopefully with some computer knowledge backing you. The pens are my last hurdle; the charge cable tip doesn’t slide over the pen pin; they just don’t align properly and there is no way to make them align so there is no way to connect the pen and charge cable I recieved to charge the penTech support is responsive but everything is the following day and sometimes can take multiple inquiries so it can take a while. It’s hard to communicate what you need when you don’t fully understand how it works.A step by step video would have helped; I made videos of my concerns and emailed them to support. It helped greatlyOnce you’ve gone through all this and solve everything you have a pretty good system but for a not so patient person like me I felt a lot of anxiety.In retrospect, for me at least, I probably should of spent the extra money and bought something domestic or with at least domestic support only to save myself the aggravation. I have a passionate hatred for ‘online email support.’ There are systems that are already software loaded and some which are self supported and don’t require a laptop
