i love that random ppl really passionate about 120hz monitor find this video
i made a photo album of my PRIVATE EMBARASSING photos for anyone that wants to go through my journey. i cant edit into a video because i suck at it and am busy lol

original description
I feel like responsiveness/accuracy of hardware is what we need for drawing tablets to feel like real pencil paper
120 hz drawing tablet monitor simply does not exist
besides quite pricy ipad pro with annoying apple pencil, or samsung galaxy tab having not so great drawing app support/performance, not really any other options.
so i made my own. this is WIP but just showing how the project is going.
made from
- PTH 851 wacom intuos pro L (previous gen has larger active area. got it used on ebay 90 bucks becausec was gonna destroy it anyways)
- M140NVF7 120Hz 14 inch LCD panel and controller (ebay like 240 bucks total. WARNING this lcd panel has a metal case needs to be removed to not block magnetic field. i recommend trying a different lcd panel if possible)
-tesla glass screen protector 15 inch 20 bucks (alternatively chromebook screen protectors may exist. double check aspect ratio gives coverage/overlap. better overestimate what you need)
-loca uv resin
-e6000 glue
-dremel/saw/drill
-blender 3d modeling and 3d printing stuff
total cost as low as 400 bucks, 550 if you include me breaking my first lcd panel lol
use any monitor small enough to fit on the active area of the tablet, and configure to active area mapping to be a portion of tablet.
i opened and sawed apart the top plate of the wacom to reuse parts of it to make it look nicer
the touch feature on the intuos pro i gutted because it was an opaque sheet that needs to be the surface to touch. other intuos features like the express keys were salvagable
WARNING monitors with a metal backing will need to be removed to not block magnetic field
this will be a delicate operation that can leave your lcd panel damaged or dusty or color streaky like mine lol
depending how well second attempt lcd panel goes, this might be 120hz sketch and line art only. color on a different tablet lol
if some brand did this, i'm sure that it will be the new standard of display tablet monitor. I think nowadays 120hz is a normal technology to have. And the response rate will be as low as ever. I hope Wacom sees this.
Wow great job, was waiting for someone to finally do this kind of a job, it would be nice if you could compare it to an actual Cintiq, principally the latency and cursor lag.
One and half year later, now a new Cintiq Pro 27 start to use 120 hz.
yeah, but holy moly it's expensive!
but i think from this wacom release, 120hz can finally start coming to cheaper tablet monitors... maybe 1-2 more years lol
@@eugenelin4639 so when the market become affordable in 2026, we should move on to making bootleg 240Hz 8k tablet monitors. One that was chalk/white board size would be pretty sweet, use an old 60inch tv or something similar.
I would buy a screen protector for this sort of thing just so I don't break the lcd it self.
I have an old 16 year old laptop screen lying under my bed. Been looking to do this sort of thing with some 120hz laptop screen. Anyways to figure out how to power the screen on and connect it to my computer?
