So it's no problem to use it for hours comfortably. The GT-190 only feels slightly warm after long period of use. Basically, it's as fast as your computer can go.
I was actually expecting some glitches with the graphics software on Windows and Mac but there were none. The drawing performance and functionality are great. Everything feels responsive without much lag. Strokes appear just the way they should and they taper nicely. I did not have any issues with the graphics software that I've tested on both Mac and Windows OS. But the parallax will appear depending on the position of your head relative to the screen.
After calibration, when you're looking straight on the screen, it should have minimal parallax. But you can correct for the parallax using the calibration provided by the driver. There's quite a distance from the surface of the glass and the screen. Thankfully the tip doesn't make any squeaky sound on the glass screen.Įight replacement tips and the nib remover are included inside the pen stand. so you can also use one while the other is charging. You can still use the pen while it's charging.
I've no idea how long the battery can last but based on my experience with such pens, they last for a few weeks. That's the port at the back of the pen for charging the internal battery. The pen comes with a cap which cannot be posted behind.
This is particular important when you're painting skin tones because even the slightest shift can make a person look weird. If I use this in my office, I will need another monitor, one with proper colour accuracy, so that I can check the colours of my art. But it's not a display to be depended on if you require colour accuracy. If you're using this pen display for creating art for casual purposes, I guess it should be okay. For example, in the photo above, the screen is supposed to be white throughout, but there's a gradient instead.Īnd this is what it looks like when tilted. And even so sometimes when you tilt your head up and down, the colours there may differ. You only get the most accurate colours when you're viewing the screen straight on. TFT panels have really lousy viewing angles. The reflection also affects the colours on the screen. The brightness reminds me of those previous generation laptop screens. It's definitely not the brightest screen around, but it's usable. I actually measured only 135cd/m2 with my Spyder5Pro Colour Calibrator. Note that the brightness of this pen display is only 250 cd/m2. They can be used to change the brightness, contrast and other settings. These are the buttons for the pen display. Things do look a bit pixelated but it's not really a big deal. For a screen this size, it should have a higher resolution like 1080P. The 19-inch screen has a resolution of only 1440 by 900. It will provide a smoother and more comfortable drawing experience, and also not smudge the display with oil from the hand. It might be good to get one of those artist gloves for drawing on the screen. The screen is extremely reflective.Īnd because the screen is so glossy, there could be some movement issues with hand on such surfaces. All my computers do not have the VGA ports. I was able to use a DVI-MiniDisplay Port adaptor and get the pen display working. These are the two graphic ports: VGA and DVI. The USB cable for this will connect to the computer. This is how the stand when fixed properly. In short, make sure the latch is facing upwards. It's easy, just follow the instructions pasted behind. The stand is not fixed onto the monitor so you have to use the screwdriver and screws provided to fix that yourself. So you may need an adaptor in order to use this pen display. Computers with VGA graphics port nowadays are quite rare. The main thing to take note here is the only graphics cable included is a VGA cable.
