![]() Pixologic Sculptris – Pressure, Recommended.Pixologic Zbrush – Pressure, Recommended.Algorithmic Substance Painter- Pressure.Autodesk Mudbox – Pressure (requires Windows Environment Variable to work).Autodesk Sketchbook pro – No pressure (Pressure Functions on MacOSx).The Foundry Mischief – Pressure, Recommended. ![]() Adobe Photoshop CS6 and CC – Pressure functions but little tilt function.These test included the pen's accuracy in menu selection, pressure sensitivity and, where applicable, tilt functions. The aim of this review being based on the point of view of a digital artist, I ran tests for compatibility and workflow with a selection of popular 2D and 3D art applications. The Foundry's Mischief is where the new pen display truly shone with great accuracy and high sensitivity to pressure. Calibration is recommended immediately after install, as well as adjusting the pressure sensitivity. ![]() Windows Drivers support calibration, pressure and tilt controls. (EDITOR'S NOTE: The Monoprice driver is likely incompatible with the Surface Pro's wintab driver.) This could have been caused by a driver error between built in tablet computer and display. Final drivers may resolve this. Testing was done on 5 different configurations and operating systems: Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows 10 (running on a Surface Pro), Mac OSX Mavericks and Mac OSX El CapitanĪlpha drivers where provided at time of testing and I found Windows 7 and 8.1 to have no problem but Windows 10 on a Surface Pro was currently incompatible. Viewable angles on this model are excellent without color shifting even at near horizontal angles: very Impressive quality for an MVA LCD. Screen resolution of the factory sample was excellent for 1080p, although this sample only had a color accuracy of 72% Adobe RGB, Monoprice is working for production to have a higher color accuracy. The pen tip has a nice firm but flexible feel like a 2B pencil and the glass of this pen display allows it to Glide across without streaking, screeching or sticking. The display sits with the bottom bezel nearly flush to the table surface. The back mount supports VESA Standard and Monoprice has several monitor stands its suggest for those who want something a bit higher or with more flexible positions. The Pen Display comes with an easel style stand pre-mounted. Monoprice's new 22 Inch pen display is a contender that delivers battery free EMR pen technology on a clear and responsive display. But the old leader has always dominated the dedicated desktop pen display: Wacom. Today, everyone is adding the pen input options from Asus Zen books to Lenovo, Microsoft and even Apple's iPad Pro. ![]() Those of us who adopted pen tablets in the ‘90s can remember forking out hundreds for the smallest Wacom Graphire, only to be envious of the pen displays the few could afford. With Wacom being the leader in pen display technology, a competitive challenger that can meet the quality of the standard at a more agreeable price has been desperately needed for years. With many pen tablets already available in the past year, they have made great headway in the competitive market of pen displays. Monoprice, the California-based retailer and manufacturer has recently introduced a number of products into the pen display and tablet market. All features of this review are based on an early factory sample and alpha drivers, features, dimensions, and software are subject to change at time of release. AUTHOR'S NOTE: I would like to thank Monoprice for providing this factory sample for my review. ![]()
