I'm looking forward to giving the cheapo Cintiq (The Wacom One) a go, as Wacom were doing a refurb deal and I can claim the VAT off that to get it down to £146.60 with free delivery
https://estore.wacom.com/en-GB/wacom-on ... 33w0b.htmlSomeone stole my Intuos3 which I replaced, to be honest I rarely used it anyway, but it is an extremely useful, accurate and reliable too. I replaced it about 2 years ago for £65 on eBay so while I was tempted by an Intuos Pro Medium Paper (that can now also trace your hand drawings, while acting as a multitouch pad on top of that) to replace it, it would have been a smaller drawing area and I think having a 2nd monitor to essentially draw on below my main monitor (which is 1440p Dell with a really good colour gamut) will be more useful. It's still quite expensive and I've got to be careful with money the minute.
I'm trained to draw and paint without looking at the pen/pencil so graphics tablet work has never particularly bothered me;- such a low entry price for essentially a small HD Cintiq, that isn't a bloody iPad or other smart device with their randomly disappearing/crashing apps, neutered features and endless redundancy, and just integrates with my PC set up is quite exciting!
That's about half what I played for my first Wacom tablet in 2006, anyway I hope I get some practical use out of it for inking line art especially or even some painting so I can print those off as shirts for something later in October.
If it's not to my taste or I simply don't use it I'll be selling it in 30 days anyway, I have a little more room in my current studio to have this set up with photoshop or whatever away from the main screen where it's so easy to get distracted by other gooseberry fool like emails.
