The screen is mapped to the tablet surface, so to move the 10 inches on a 27" monitor to reach a button, you might instead only move your pen tip 1 or 2 inches. However, traditional graphics tablets require you to draw on a separate surface while looking up at a monitor. The size allows for comfortable viewing as well as full arm movements on a surface that resembles a drafting table. Display tablets like Cintiqs benefit from larger size because you are drawing 1:1 on a screen. As reported by Aaron Rutten, most of the companies are not looking for fair and unbiased reviews: You generally can't trust the reviews of Wacom alternatives on YouTube. It's also much easier to freehand accurate lines and ellipses on the Wacom. Or maybe it's just got better tuned drivers. Maybe it's got a higher resolution grid for detecting the pen location. When I got a Wacom Intuos Pro PTH660 (Amazon renewed), the same test without smoothing showed a perfectly straight line, even when drawing quite slowly. But the wobbling was notably bad on the Huion. I'm pretty sure this is a normal side effect of the tech used to identify the grid coordinate of the stylus. If you draw the stroke quickly, the smoothing kicks in and straightens it. It wasn't very pronounced on the iPad, but it was still there. On both my iPad Pro (2017) and an open-box Huion H610 Pro (pretty old) I saw stairstepping behavior when drawing a straight line with a ruler on a diagonal. The pressure levels and other specs don't tell the full story. Wacom is expensive, but it still leads in terms of sensitivity and accuracy. That's what I thought as well, but my experience contradicts that. So good to se Krita helping to address at least one of these issues. Thankfully with the main Wacom tablet patents finally gone, the situation seems to be finally recovering, with many new, mostly Chinese, LCD tablet makers and a lot of people using high end Android and Apple tablets for drawing (which are still much much cheaper than what Wacom used to want for a simple LCD tablet display or for what it sells its bulky mobile studio devices these days).īut to this day, we can still see the technical dept caused by Wacom blocking a whole area of HID devices for ~20 years - drivers for non Wacom LCD drawing displays are still a mess and there is a lack of quality drawing software, especially on Android. I believe that we lost at least one generation of digital artists due to this - not everyone can be productive by a non-LCD tablet and even those have been overpriced. This was the most apparent in the LCD tablet are where until recently was just the high end Wacom made Cintiq that was insanely expensive and nothing else. This is basically Wacoms fault - they sat on their patents basically only producing expensive high end devices, preventing others from providing high volume basic but cheap devices.
