I can also confirm that the Huion drivers are bad, even on the newest models. I'd recommend the new cheaper 16-inch Brian mentioned. I get by fine even with my 13-inch after adjusting my ZBrush UI to fit, and the touch controls on more expensive versions are nothing but a liability.
So far I have tried 2 different non wacom brands, and have been disappointing every time. The biggest issues are almost always 1) the drivers and 2) the pens themselves. Its probably better just to get a Wacom. If 16 inches isnt too small for you, wacom has a new model around the same price as that 20 inch Huion.
Darn it! I did not expect such a strong consensus in favor of Wacom. I guess that`' what happens when you ask actual professionals and not your hobbyist friends who swears Wacoms are overpriced and Huion offers the same quality...-_- Reconsidering my choices now.. @Brian "Panda" Choi Iit`s actually over 800 bucks in…
The Cintiq has a different feel to the Intous but I guess that's up to preference. It feels more like I'm drawing on paper for me when I use one. Depending on which Cintiq you buy you still get some parallax issues, but zooming in fixes it for me. I use my cintiq as a tablet, since I prefer to look at a 21 inch screen…
@pior @carvuliero Thank you both for your concerns. It's been well since high school that i've used graphic tablets (not the screen type) and god knows how hard I tried to adjust myself using one but the act of not drawing directly on screen, drawing something on a surface and having to look at another one to see the live…
22inch is not necessarily a big drawing surface, considering that it is probably a 16/9 format and you'll only ever use the center square. I've actually tested this on my 21UX (which is 4/3 already), by taping off the sides of the screen to see what I actually use. Turns out my actual useful drawing surface is more or less…
