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
OH MY GOD THIS POST SHOWED UP AT THE PERFECT TIME THANK YOU
I have one of these! They’re wonderful.
For the people who ask me what kind of tablet they should start out with: This looks like a nice affordable option!

I’m really glad these tablets are so affordable, AND WORK! My Bamboo has held up like iron in 5 years of heavy use, and it’s still going strong, but I’ll probably look at one of the larger-size Monoprice tables when I’m ready to upgrade.
