As someone who owns a Pen Tablet & iPad Pro. As intuitive it feels working on a display screen, you still have to take into consideration the drawbacks: Poor Posture, Eye hand view, etc. What I mean by that is, the posture & body mechanics when using a display takes more of a toll on your body as opposed to pen tablet.

@@TiffanyNg100 what is the size of your tablet active area vs the size of your display? because the bigger the gap in those sizes, the worst the ratio between the two.
Thanks for this insight Amy. As someone who has a pinched nerve in my neck from bad posture I'm trying to find a more ergonomic way to use a stylus. A graphics tablet may be way forward!
based on my experience between a pen display and a tablet. I agree graphic tablet is better because I was able to last longer working on my art. And I noticed these days professionals recommend tablets which I figured. I know some are willing to keep a monitor close to your face but for me I feel irritated and i gotta say heads up to those who can last longer but I prefer to keep the distance between my eyes and display. You can use an arm desk but I'm fussy with extra movements. All in all, you wanna feel comfy with arms and back and eyes relaxed with long hours of art work = Graphic Tablet, need close up details you need to fix = Graphic Display. The only time I use a graphic display is when I am traveling or at work I draw on my ipad pro with clip studio. I am planning to get the ipad mini 2021 instead for more portability.
The only ups and downs mentioned here are the obvious - price, and the fact that you need to connect/not connect it to your computer. There's nothing about what it's like to draw on them, the texture of the pen tablet vs the glass display, the fact that the display forces your hand to block some of the image, the ergonomics of drawing on a display vs a tablet, and so on.
3:20 "You won't have access to your desktop software." Not true. I'm using Galaxy Tab S+ and it has the option to connect to PC as a second display via Wi-Fi.
I'd say that display tablets are better for close up detail and more color space. My laptop has pretty bad colors so a screen tablet would make it much easier to see them correctly. (I have a non-display tablet) -I once picked a purple color on my laptop but it was actually magenta
Wow I learned a lot in this 4 min video and I've been watching other video's but this one taught me everything I need! I also appreciate that there's no intro & no annoying ads, just straight to the point 🙌 Thank you 👍
Thank you for this! I already have a pen tablet (a really small one lol) but I often hear people say that the display ones are better. It's nice to get a non biased opinion cause, as I thought, it's all about getting used to it, while the others don't have such a learning curve.
Also your drawing hand will not cover your art while drawing lol))) Also you are not tied to only one display. You can start with a shitty screen of your laptop, and then upgrade to $1000 display . Also you dont have to do cable management, you will need only 1 usb cable or even just a Bluetooth

Same thought, I was kinda jealous of the people having display tablet but you just need to get used to the tablet. It doesn't matter what are you using for art, it doesn't matter what tools you have but your skills matter.
Thnak u for this video, short, direct to the point and most importantly useful♡ This is what I am looking for since im planning to buy either of those but I don't know exactly the general advantages and disadvantages as a purely beginner in digital arts.
I’d say professionally a pen display or a graphics tablet are mostly the only option, as you said, because of the software. As a hobby, I’d say a tablet is better as you can use it to reproduce films, play games, etc. Some argue that graphics tablets are even better than pen displays because with pen displays you tend to force your back into bad postures. I’ve never had one so i cant really tell, but i think we tend to do the same thing while drawing on paper. In summary, your back with pen displays: / . With graphics tablets: | . Great video Teoh ✌️
In my experience; unless you also have issues with the hand eye coordination of the mouse, or think the display will provide a better color monitor than your main one - the only thing you are buying with a display vs a tablet with the extra hundreds of dollars is skipping adjustment period. In other words, one does not confer long term advantage over the other - maybe for your neck, but then align your monitor. It is not like mouse vs pen - where one provides a definitive advantage with pressure control over the other.
I've heard some people also straight up just have more fun using a display and can't go back to using a pen tablet not because it's necessarily much worse but because it's much less fun to them. Enjoying the process of drawing is very important as well.
I use both pen tablet and displaytablet. I always wanted a display tablet so when I got one I had to get a stand for my back. Now I love the pen tablet with the stand, I still use the display though for certain softwares.
I really love my pen tablet, really do. But oh my goooood, when I have to do precise work like a inking a comic, I have a undo and redo battle on my hands. It really sucks because I bought a 1.5k iMac because I was so sure I wouldn’t return back to my small iPad. 😓
@TeohOnTech I have a question, I want to move on to digital art but I don't know what to buy a graphic tablet, a screen with pen or a tablets. I have read many comments some are saying display tablets are are better n some saying that graphic tablets are better. I don't have a good budget I have a budget like 400$ Edit : I have a large desk
$400 can probably get you a 15-inch pen display. Look at products from Huion or XP-Pen. It's almost Black Friday and there are many good deals currently.
I suggest that when u first want to try digital art to start with a non screen tablet, that way you wouldn't spend much and then i suggest that u will upgrade later if u decided that u would want to take digital art seriously
Difficult to answer. I'll probably go with Wacom One pen display since it's more intuitive to draw and see the line appear beneath the pen. But personally I don't have much table space so I would go with pen tablets, or iPad since I can put it on my bookshelf
I swapped my Wacom Intous with a tablet but I feel that the screen is to small and to cluttered, so now I need a Pen Display. Guess I have a lot of video watching to do to get the right one.
Hello, I really need an advice from a pro illustrator like you. I have good pc and also huawei matepad 10.4 tablet. Would you recommend me to buy drawing pad to use on PC or a stylus to draw on my tablet.. I can't decide the best one for me
I'm not sure if there's going to be jitter when drawing diagonal lines. See my review for the MatePad 11 and MatePad Pro 10.8. www.parkablogs.com/tags/huawei
Good stuff, so to get those really nice in depth artistic drawings like you'd see in fantasy novels or modern PC gaming you'd need desktop software (a pen tablet or screen tablet and not just a tablet?)
@@teohontech7141 Then is it pretty much in the software or is the a tech minimum for advanced artwork like 4000 or 8000 pressure or other specs you'd recommend?
My Adesso M14 cybertablet lasted me 9 years before the pen crapped out a couple days ago. Now I'm looking to replace it, and I'm pretty torn. Pen displays look really nice and intuitive to work with....but I'm also suspicious about how long they'll perform, compared to graphics tablets. Also, on "touch sensitive" tablets, do you ever accidentally cause input with your hands brushing across the surface?
Touch sensitive pen displays may have accidentally input. That's mostly because Windows palm rejection isn't that good. As for durability, check out Amazon or Reddit for more long term reviews. I only have these devices to test for very limited time so I can't say much about durability.
Hello, I'm a 1st year and I'm planning to buy one.Also, I'll be taking architecture so I thought I will need this in the future so I have already decided that I'm gonna buy a graphic tablet since it's much cheaper. What type of tablet do you think would be good for a beginner like me? Thanks
Get at least a 10 x 6 inch. The brand isn't as important as most brands have similar drawing performance as pen tablet tech has matured many years ago.
I already have an ipad but i dont want a screen protector/ paperlike or smthing like that on it bc i think it will annoy me when i use the ipad for other things than drawing. So im thinking about getting an extra pen display or pen tablet just for drawing. Problem is that len displays are very expencive and i cannot try them out to see if it even makes a big difference in my drawing experience, so im thinking about a pen tablet because they are pretty cheap and i could use desktop drawing programms. Im not sure what to get.

Hey Teoh! I want to get into digital painting hence I plan to get a pen tablet to use with my 28" monitor. I have an old wacom intuos art small but it IS small. What brand/model and tablet size would you recommend? just something not too pricey (my main device is still my ipad where I do mostly linework)
Get a tablet that's at least 10 by 6 inches. Pen tablet technology has matured so it doesn't really matter which brand you get. You can compare the pros and cons list I have from my text reviews www.parkablogs.com/tags/pen-tablet-reviews
@teoh What is your opinion on touch screen laptops with Active Stylus, like MS Surface. Leonovo and HP also have laptops on which one can draw on the screen using stylus.
I've tested many Windows tablets and there are no Windows tablets I can recommend for drawing at this time. For writing, those Windows tablets work fine but drawing performance is not as good compared to Android tablets or iPads.
I bought xp pen 15.6 pro but guides only available for laptop n not for computer. no matter how I searched on google, they r just not available. I can use it but the display won't appear. no option for multiple display either. n customer service is not helpful. It's pretty much resolved now. I just had to figure out where hdmi is on my computer. but as dumb as I am, I didn't know where is it and guide didn't show where it supposed to be either. :D
Thanks for video I have some questions If I use 2 in 1 laptop in animation graphics (just small business .2D and black and white cartoon ) and contrast, I dispense with a graphic tablet- and I use the pen of laptop - does that make a difference. And do I have to use the gtx or RTX GPU By the way, I used the video editing program too .just a small business 😅😅😅. (For youtube ) Thanks
I'm not sure what you're asking. Such drawing tablets and pen displays don't require much computing power. Any computer from past 5 years can run them very easily.
I am very very new.. so maybe a silly question. are there tablets available that work like a normal one but can be used for digital art? my brothers office provides stipend for computer accessories and academic stuff (academic books mostly) so I want to know if there is anything that might fit into that?
Hi i have a wacom intout art (the old version 2k pressure sensitivity) i really need to upgrade it I've been thinking either wacom intous pro or kamvas 16 pro i have never had a pen display before but i feel like it'd be much comfortable to draw straight lines and details on the other hand intous pro is a very good product you can't go wrong with it what would anyone recommend ?
I don't know whether it's a normal or not. I have problems with my hands so I wasn't getting used to it no matter what I did. Then, after a very very very long break, I tried to pick it up again and I saw a tip to put a piece of paper over the Tablet Surface. All of a sudden, my hand and my eyes synced up perfectly despite being in completely different places. You should try it if that's the kind of thing you're dealing with.
@@Fairygoblet Thanks for the tip! I might try the paper thing as well. I haven't tried a tablet with a screen yet, but I don't feel like I've been doing very good without one.
It's been more than 6 months i bought a graphic tablet.... my art is really bad literally with the graphic tablet My traditional art is soooo much better like everything. I just can't get used to be drawing and not seeing what I draw. Rn i am thinking of buying ipad or display tablet. The posture is still bad using the graphic tablet because you are looking at the screen, and it does not stop your back from bending
Maybe I'm missing something seeing as I have never used a pen tablet, but one negative I see with it is, as you're drawing something, it's so easy to lose where you were because there's no picture on the tablet itself.
Drawing without a screen will take sometime to get used to. It's like how you can accurately click on things with a mouse, except now you're using a pen.
@@teohontech7141 But the one difference is that with a mouse you could follow the cursor, but with the pen, every time you lift it up and place it somewhere else, it’s harder to follow because you don’t know where you left off on the tablet..
The tablet drawing surface is mapped directly onto the display area, so when you place your pen on the tablet, you will know exactly where your cursor will be. E.g. Do you move your mouse just to find where the cursor is? Cursor can be anywhere until you shake your mouse. You won't have such issue with the pen.
I had this problem. I thought it was because I have weak hand-eye coordination, but I saw a temper to put a piece of paper over the Tablet Surface and it looks almost exactly like my normal paper drawing. It turns out my hand was sliding all over the plastic surface and I was losing control of my lines
i have XP-Pen G430s pen tablet since 3 years ago, but i think it was too small for me and uncomfortable when zooming a lot and sometimes my pen was lagged when using Photoshop so i'm planning to get another device, but i'm still beginner... should i choose ipad or buying pen tablet with android support? (tbh i'm finding a good phone too because my old phone is lagging and slow, but my budget is around $520 so i'm confused to choose what i need now hehehe)
The comparison is very shallow, focuses mainly about the price, doesn't talk about the ergonomics, system compatibility and setup, etc.

You do know pen tablets are like drawing on paper right? So the hand being in the way, posture etc., are the same exact things you deal with drawing on paper which has been done for eternity by the best artists to exist. So you're logic makes absolutely no sense as far as "blocking details with your hand"
@@letsplaynay9936 Just because people have been doing it for centuries doesn't somehow make it better. If anything it makes it worse because that means its outdated and old-school.
yes you are right. I even draw with MOUSE before I have a Pen tablet. they just hate the fact they already bought a expensive display tablet and wanting to justify their decision.

If I use 2 in 1 laptop in animation graphics (just small business .2D and black and white cartoon ) and contrast, I dispense with a graphic tablet- and I use the pen of laptop - does that make a difference.
And do I have to use the gtx or RTX GPU
By the way, I used the video editing program too .just a small business 😅😅😅. (For youtube )
Thanks
I'm not sure what you're asking. Such drawing tablets and pen displays don't require much computing power. Any computer from past 5 years can run them very easily.
@@teohontech7141 ok .so I don't obligatory USD Geforce GPU . I can give up with MX Gpu
I am very very new.. so maybe a silly question. are there tablets available that work like a normal one but can be used for digital art? my brothers office provides stipend for computer accessories and academic stuff (academic books mostly) so I want to know if there is anything that might fit into that?
What do you mean by normal?
I have a horrible setup in my worky space, so I will use an Ipad as a display tabet. Graphics tableta are more uncomfortable to use
Hi i have a wacom intout art (the old version 2k pressure sensitivity) i really need to upgrade it I've been thinking either wacom intous pro or kamvas 16 pro i have never had a pen display before but i feel like it'd be much comfortable to draw straight lines and details on the other hand intous pro is a very good product you can't go wrong with it what would anyone recommend ?
Nowadays pen display tech and drawing experience are very good. You can just go with any brand or product that fits your budget.
@@teohontech7141 thanks your channel really helped me
i switched from a display tablet to a graphic tablet. But I still cant get used to it even after a week. Is this normal?
I don't know whether it's a normal or not. I have problems with my hands so I wasn't getting used to it no matter what I did. Then, after a very very very long break, I tried to pick it up again and I saw a tip to put a piece of paper over the Tablet Surface. All of a sudden, my hand and my eyes synced up perfectly despite being in completely different places. You should try it if that's the kind of thing you're dealing with.
@@Fairygoblet Thanks for the tip! I might try the paper thing as well. I haven't tried a tablet with a screen yet, but I don't feel like I've been doing very good without one.
It's been more than 6 months i bought a graphic tablet.... my art is really bad literally with the graphic tablet
My traditional art is soooo much better like everything. I just can't get used to be drawing and not seeing what I draw. Rn i am thinking of buying ipad or display tablet. The posture is still bad using the graphic tablet because you are looking at the screen, and it does not stop your back from bending
I have a question. I am planning to buy an XP Pen and tablet. So, will the pen be responsive on my iPad too?
The pens are not interchangeable
@@teohontech7141 Alright. Thanks! :)
A worthy video👍
Maybe I'm missing something seeing as I have never used a pen tablet, but one negative I see with it is, as you're drawing something, it's so easy to lose where you were because there's no picture on the tablet itself.
Drawing without a screen will take sometime to get used to. It's like how you can accurately click on things with a mouse, except now you're using a pen.
@@teohontech7141 But the one difference is that with a mouse you could follow the cursor, but with the pen, every time you lift it up and place it somewhere else, it’s harder to follow because you don’t know where you left off on the tablet..
The tablet drawing surface is mapped directly onto the display area, so when you place your pen on the tablet, you will know exactly where your cursor will be. E.g. Do you move your mouse just to find where the cursor is? Cursor can be anywhere until you shake your mouse. You won't have such issue with the pen.
I had this problem. I thought it was because I have weak hand-eye coordination, but I saw a temper to put a piece of paper over the Tablet Surface and it looks almost exactly like my normal paper drawing. It turns out my hand was sliding all over the plastic surface and I was losing control of my lines
I have one of the wacom pen tablets with no screen, and when I hover the pen over it, it shows up on my computer screen just like a mouse would.

Concepts !
so you're telling me something 300-500$ compares to something 40-80$? what is the benefits at such a price difference.
i have XP-Pen G430s pen tablet since 3 years ago, but i think it was too small for me and uncomfortable when zooming a lot and sometimes my pen was lagged when using Photoshop
so i'm planning to get another device, but i'm still beginner...
should i choose ipad or buying pen tablet with android support? (tbh i'm finding a good phone too because my old phone is lagging and slow, but my budget is around $520 so i'm confused to choose what i need now hehehe)
if you need a phone aswell android is your only option if you want a tablet for example the tab s6 lite is good with spen for cheap.
@@SimonBauer7 okay thanks, so i should choose phone for this time because my phone is suffering heavy lag
latency?
I wish all iPad comments just dissapear. Im not paying that exp for a regular tablet just cuz its apple, or buying 4 yo old model to get cheaper
800th like 😁
PENI… awww
The comparison is very shallow, focuses mainly about the price, doesn't talk about the ergonomics, system compatibility and setup, etc.
pen display is not a professional tablet, it is for noobs, no control, the hand is in front of the details you work so you block your details work, and you have to be carefull, its is no portable, lack of controls like ressistant wheels, a good wheel you can find it in the pen tablets pro, in pen tablets you can have more speed than pen display... Pen display is for people that draw awful, and likes manga hentai and god knows what else, i do prefer pen table for zbrush, 3d max, krita or painter. the pc monitor is more bigger than a pen display, and if you work 8 or 10 hours a day, you will lose your vission sooner or late, myopia!. your back is gona be hurt a big, and your entire carrer does not takes 5 years, if you are a pro, you do your job for years, i mean, 20, 30 years, just imagine that with a pen display.
based on my experience between a pen display and a tablet. I agree graphic tablet is better because I was able to last longer working on my art. And I noticed these days professionals recommend tablets.
You do know pen tablets are like drawing on paper right? So the hand being in the way, posture etc., are the same exact things you deal with drawing on paper which has been done for eternity by the best artists to exist. So you're logic makes absolutely no sense as far as "blocking details with your hand"
@@letsplaynay9936 Just because people have been doing it for centuries doesn't somehow make it better. If anything it makes it worse because that means its outdated and old-school.
...because you said so?
yes you are right. I even draw with MOUSE before I have a Pen tablet.
they just hate the fact they already bought a expensive display tablet and wanting to justify their decision.
