Is it hard to get used to drawing on a black surface and looking at the screen? Why don't these have screens?

Including a display in the tablet would be incredibly expensive; however, Wacom does offer the Cintiq line which provides exactly that. There are also cheaper tablets from Yiynova that do that as well. Personally I prefer the detached tablet, because then my hand doesn't get in the way of seeing what I'm working on. Also, having a 1:1 correlation between the pen and the mouse cursor makes it more annoying to have any slight accuracy or latency problem, while if you have your hand decoupled from the cursor those issues aren't as noticeable.

No Kim. the tablet is simplya surface interface. What you draw can only be seen on the monitor. I think that what you are looking for might be the touch screen monitor that supports Wacom pens. That is somewhere between 900 & 2000 dollars depending on the size you buy.

you can use mouse or pen to navigate windows or any cad or paint program, I use jfdraw and vectorengineer it takes a little time to get the hang of it like touch pen to pad is like a left click and going to the corner of the pad to move the mouse to a corner trips me up a little ect...

Sorry no. Unit is reasonably easy to learn without them. I gave up on mine for other reasons. Screen was hard to read on sunny days and on a motorcycle that is a necessity. Good luck.

There's one major problem I had. I couldn't get the pressure sensitivity to work with Gimp. I could get it to work with other programs though. There are some instructions on Google for fixing this, but I still couldn't get it to work. Also the drivers for this don't work very well, and I would have trouble with the tablet work and not work at random times. I recommend spending more and getting a wacom.

this is a great drawing pad only. it's does not have a screen, everything is displayed in your screen. you can either ether it with the USB cord or use the wireless dongle that comes with it. once you get used to looking at the screen you will really like how it works. I bought my daughter one for Mac air and she's uses it all the time. I wish I could display some of her work with the tablet. we had problems with apples new Yosemite OS and the tech support had their software guys rewrite new drivers within a couple of days. this is good starting tool for tragic designers who do not want to save money.

I feel bad for you ben. I wrote a review writing about the same thing. Apparently, Wacom (those mofos) put a thin plastic film over the screens of the Cintiqs that scratches ridiculously easy if you don't change out their nibs as part of a planned obsolescence. I noticed that the screens of the 13 in models (Cintiq Companions & Cintiq 13in HD) scratch especially easy. Don't remove the screen's plastic, otherwise you'd void your warranty. I would just return the damn thing.

Preferably a drawing tablet...but a mouse and keyboard will do. A dedicated graphics card would probably be a bit more helpful than the on-board graphics.

Yes, the size of the screen is actually a bit bigger. But once you setup your dimensions for your drawing program like Manga Studio or Photoshop it is just like drawing on paper. It is an amazing device and I love it.

Thanks everyone--I really appreciate your answering! A matte screen is a must have for me and they are getting very hard to find! Can't understand the attraction to those shiny reflective screens! You all have been very helpful!

In my opinion, the quality of screen display is not that good. You can see better to the display if you are in front of it, moving a little bit from that angle, you cannot see clearly.

Honestly, at first i didn't liked it at all. But now im kind of get used to sketchbook pro, The wacom apps are really awful. (excuse my english, hope you understand me)

I downloaded the different readers--I feel the same way. Getting used to reading on the little screen, well, it is nice to read in the dark with the lights off. I am now trying to get used to reading with the scroll function (it goes too slow, and then, when I want to reread a passage, it still takes some thought on how to stop the scrolling).

Have you looked at the Wacom "Inkling"? I think the down side is that you can't draw in "real time" on the computer screen - everything is offline - but it would certainly allow you to do what you're asking about above. You can find it here: http://www.wacom.com/en/Products/Inkling.aspxGood luck!

Some people say there is input lag and ghosting but I do not see any. Works great for me. You need a LOT of GPU for it though. I use SLI 470's and they are starting to show their age already at 2560x1600.

I would draw very slowly.. And it took a long time. I've never used another, so I figured it was normal.
