Why you should not trust youtube shills:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VH1WEYF8rlA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Twy5Wo8m284

Do not worry pressure levels. 1024 is more than enough.
Remember to ignore all chinese shills. They often try to paid twitter promos from random artists. It's all shilling, ignore it.

Recommended tablets:

>Screenless:
Used Intuos 3, 4, 5, Pro, One by Wacom

>Display:
Small (10-11"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite
Medium (12-16"): Samsung Galaxy Tab S8/S9 Ultra, used iPad Pro 12.9" Gen 1-5
Large (22"+): Cintiq 22HD, Cintiq Pro 27 - Make sure they have VESA standard mounting holes.

Avoid:

>XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon and every other Chinese brand making Wacom imitations
Poor build quality, pens with wavy lines, wobbly nibs, broken tilt, issues registering light pressure, terrible customer support, uncalibrated. All Chinese brands have the same problems. Check out the webm to understand how bad they are.
Do not be fooled by myths like "Chink companies are just as good as Wacom now" - they've been saying this for over 8 years, nothing has changed. Consider reading the amazon reviews, particularly the negative spectrum and you will find some very common themes.
Chinese companies have also been proven to shill on 4chan. You will see dozens upon dozens of posts in this thread by a chinese schizo shill, who will either be bitching about the OP, gaslighting as a Wacom fan, making pointless spam posts or giving terrible advice (like recommending Huion). Just ignore and report him.

>New iPads
Massively overpriced and overhyped.

>Microsoft Surface Pro
More optimized for palm rejection than good quality drawing. Wobbly lines when drawing slow and straight.

>Cintiq 13-16"
Completely outclassed by the Galaxy Tab Ultra & iPad

>Cintiq Pro 16, 24, 32
Overpriced, QC issues, loud fans, proprietary mount interface

>Lenovo
Worse than Samsung in every way.

I tried this exact test on my Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra right now and didn't notice the problem.
Maybe Samsung were so dumb they send your defective model back to you as a replacement.

Try testing Galaxy Tabs in your local electronic retailer.
>>
>>7324411
He said he did try display models of other Samsungs and they didn't have the issue
>>
>>7324421
>>7324411
But why risk it when he's gotten 2 lemons? Like yeah he probably won't get burned a 3rd time, but when there are other (frankly better) alternatives, it seems silly to me.
>>
>>7324411
Well, it depends which brush you are using. a straight line in opacitiy should be enough to make it evident any flaws with the EMR panel. And like >>7324421 said. I did try every version, multiple retailers, almost same configs. And I didn't notice anything wrong at the time.
Also, this flaw messes with straight lines, making them curve downwards and then reset tho the center. Not captured cause it's hard to tell from a recording.
>>
>>7324426
>but when there are other (frankly better) alternatives
Your chinese garbage isn't a better alternative, Chang.
>>
>>7324438
Didn't even say what alternatives were, schizo
>>
>>7324411
>>7324433
nevermind, I did have a recording of finer lines, this time recorded on krita.
I just wanted to draw when I'm staying somewhere else :(

Drew trad on and off for 2 years, but ended up giving up because I am terminally NGMI. Recently got the itch to draw and realized I'm still NGMI but wanted to give digital a try since it's easier than using a mouse (I hope) to make OC/edits for other boards.
>>
>>7324572
he literally just copy pasted a post from a year ago because he can't actually provide feedback of his own. ignore it.
>>
>>7324456
I got news from customer service about the tablet I turned back. They say it is OK, it doesn't have any problems.
I'M LIVID! they told me the same thing 5 months ago, fucking assholes!
>>
>>7324731
buying another samsung and supporting this shit after they fucked you with no lube twice would be pretty silly

OP is a shill and wacom is garbage poor quality chinese trash. Buy quality products like XP-Pen or Huion instead.
>>
>>7324411
Changing the stylus nib (or at least taking it out and putting it back in) and making sure your case magnets arent in a strange place behind the tablet is a good idea. I wonder if the problem persists when it isnt in a magnetic case or on a magnetic stand?
>>
>>7325099
Why are you so convinced a magnet is the problem when he specifically said already there were no magnets?
>>
>>7325106
previous encounters with magneto
>>
Do you use distilled water or isopropyl to clean a cintiq screen?
>>
>>7325106
Saw nothing about him saying there are no magnets present in the posts linked.
>>
>>7325267
Just an eyeglass cleaner cloth, and if needed a little water on a soft microfiber cloth is good enough.
>>
>>7325277
The problem with mine is that it's dirty as fuck because I haven't used it in forever.
>>
>>7325279
Hmm then yeah just unplug it and only use 70-75% isopropyl, if you use anything else or get the alcohol inside of your tablet you might damage it. Good luck cleaning it
>>
>>7325287
That won't mess with the coating or the texture of the screen?
>>
>>7325292
It's what Wacom recommends on their website. If you want you can go look up the FAQ for cintiqs and search for cleaning
>>
>>7325267
monitor cleaner is basically a 1:1 ratio of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol.
I make my own and have sprayed it on every screen I have for years with no ill affect. I just use a super plush microfiber to wipe it off.
>>
>>7325276
>Saw nothing about him saying there are no magnets present in the posts linked.
>>7324294
>>
>>7325375
Yea I just didn't know if I could fuck with the paperlike texture or something. And there's bits of debris really stuck in there. But I ended up just using a little distilled water. I guess if it's over, it's over.
>>
>>7324340
I still use the exact model in op's pic
>>
>>7325398
Nah it wont fuck up the texture

Any felt-nib bros here? Do you like them more than plastic?
>>
>>7326664
Yeah I prefer them to both plastic and elastomer
>>
>>7326664
What are the benefits compared to plastic? Longer lasting?
>>
>>7326664
The wacom ones are really bad and low quality. XP-Pen felt nibs are great though.
>>
>>7326900
shorter lasting but they feel different.

Screentabletfags, what are your desk layouts like? There's no room for me to put the keyboard next to the tablet and putting it behind the tablet + stand is the best when drawing but awful when not drawing since it's so far back to reach and I don't want to keep moving things around
>>
>>7326979
>behind the tablet + stand
this but with a tourbox/whatever macropad so I don't have to move my keyboard. I would take a picture of my setup buy my desk is a mess and I do not wish for you to see that.

Ideally this is what I think would work out great but even this looks very DIY and cobbled together
>>
>>7326987
to me that looks like it would be horrible to use. I think artists are fucking retards when they have their tablet basically flat and have to hunch over it. mine's propped up on an arm at ~60-70 degree angle.
>>
>>7326979
Buy one of these separate usb numpads (or streamdeck if you have brain damage) and put shortcuts on it

hard to take a good picture but this is my setup. works for me. my arm sits comfortably, I have proper posture and no back pain, and my keyboard stays where it is in front of my main monitor.

wtf what to do, why is there a random amazon day

>>7326979
I use a streamdeck with a Zbrush and Photoshop shortcut key profile on it, right next to my tablet.

Are there any dedicated drawing tabs that dont need a computer? Or can someone reccomend me a goof eink tab to sketch with just cuz itd be cool
>>
>>7327169
well you could always get a used ipad
>>
>>7327169
galaxy tabs, iPads, magic drawing pad
eink tablets are way overpriced for what you're getting
>>
>>7327169
do you want desktop windows or are you fine with ios/android?
windows: kamvas studio 16 or 24 (wacom mobilestudio is horribly outdated by comparison but is also an option)
surface pro 8/9/10
android: galaxy tab s6/7/8/9/10
xp pen magic drawing pad (the best option if you don't need tilt)
ios: ipad pro/ipad air/whatever the fuck ipad
>>
>>7327181
Is the s6 still wprth it? They released a 2024 version but kept thr 4 gb of ram
>>
>>7327302
I personally don't think any of them are worth it anymore.
