jaboo224 Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 I am looking to get a tablet but not sure which one should i get \: I imagine some of you guys have some wacom tablets and perhaps you can give me some advise? I am currently looking at the Wacom 9x12 inch intuos 3 or a 12 x 12. Should i stick with widescreen if my monitor is widescreen? or should i go with a cheaper wacom tablet? Thanks for your help :] Quote
jjohnson22 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 I think Wacom is the best way to go and people I know said the bought a small tablet their first time and regretted not getting a bigger one. So think about it. A good tablet will cost you $250-$350. Quote
Buddy Posted January 25, 2008 Report Posted January 25, 2008 I currently use Intous 3 A5 2007 edition, it's great, go for it if You can ! Quote
jaboo224 Posted January 30, 2008 Author Report Posted January 30, 2008 Should i get a landscape sized one or square one. My monitor is widescreen. Quote
PhilipK Posted January 30, 2008 Report Posted January 30, 2008 Tried widescreen ones but never fell for them. Probably just because I'm way too used with a standard one. I know a lot of people like the wide ones and they take up less space so if you have a wide screen I'd say go for that if you haven't really got used to a standard one yet. Quote
Minos Posted February 1, 2008 Report Posted February 1, 2008 Size doesn't really matter and in fact larger tablets will get you tired rather quickly, besides taking up too much desk space if that's a problem for you. I'd say go for the A5 one, I got a A6 graphire and I love it, although it's super tiny. Quote
Nurb Posted February 2, 2008 Report Posted February 2, 2008 I recommend a widescreen tablet for a widescreen display and a 4:3 one for a 4:3 display. If there is a mismatch between screen and tablet you get different strength of movement horizontally compared to vertically. However, this is barely noticable, and I've done alot of digital painting so I should know. I have no problems with my wide tablet when I have to use it on a 4:3 screen. As for size, A6 is introductionlevel, it works, but it feels small after a while. Anything over A4 feels too big (these are my personal opinions). I use a wacom intous 3 A5 wide with my 20" wide display. To me it's the perfect size. Quote
Zacker Posted February 20, 2008 Report Posted February 20, 2008 Wacom Intuos 3 A5 is highly recommended. Quote
-HP- Posted February 28, 2008 Report Posted February 28, 2008 Wacom Intuos 3 A5 is highly recommended. I use the Intuos 3 A4 at work, and I tell you, it just rocks! But the A5 it's good as the A4, and I'd pick it for personal use. either that one, or the Graphire4 Quote
Ascard Posted June 9, 2008 Report Posted June 9, 2008 Wacom Intuos 3 A5 is highly recommended. If the A5 widescreen is out of stock Quote
