Surely Wacom has to have some competition? If not, why not? Is the art market so small that no one sees profit in trying? Wacom's earnings reports suggest there's money to be made. Doesn't the success of apps like Draw Something drag digital art into the mainstream at least peripherally? Why, in this dawning, post-pc age of touch-everything, can't I find an easy, accurate way to draw digitally? Digital drawing tools have made sluggish, incremental, trivial leaps generationally. There's no impetus for prices to drop or technology to get better. Wacom has the whole market. And Apple doesn't seem to care about artists much. I don't want to use a dead stylus with a rubber duplo-block ball-end and lack of pressure sensitivity and like it.
First, some tough-talk about Cintiqs. The last generation of Cintiqs based on Intuos 3 tech had some significant issues with display quality. They used cheap TN panels. They looked muddy and washed out. An anti-glare coating on the back of the plastic screens worsened an already low contrast ratio and robbed the colors of what little vibrancy they had. The newer Cintiqs, like the 24HD, have IPS panels similar to the Apple Cinema Displays. Others have said the display quality is a vast improvement over the last-gen models. That said, the new 24HD has a lower PPI than even my older 20WSX, so I'm healthily skeptical.
There's cursor parallax caused by the gap between the drawing surface and the LCD screen and lag no matter which generation of Cintiq you buy. If you expect where the tip of your stylus meets your screen to be where a line will be drawn, you're going to be disappointed. An old Nintendo DS has a truer 1:1 ratio of pen input to line result. You're going to be watching a cursor trail behind your pen, you're going to be less accurate than if you were drawing with analog materials because of parallax, and you'll be several thousand dollars poorer in the process. In many ways, drawing with an Intuos tablet was a more satisfying experience. The cognitive disonnance of drawing down on the tablet while looking up at a monitor shielded you from the flaws and limitations inherent to Wacom's digitizer technology. You notice input lag less when a cursor isn't chasing after your pen in front of you. The Cintiq brings that flaw into sharp relief. Your pen tip is just pulling the cursor along, trailing like a fat kid chasing an ice cream truck.
I'd be less harsh on the Cintiqs if Wacom weren't demanding such a hefty price for what amounts to little more than an Intuos digitizer with a cheap LCD slapped atop. I didn't want to spend $3200 on the 24HD after having spent $2500 on the 20WSX only to be disappointed by the value again. I felt I should at least look into other options when buying a new tablet monitor for a second machine.
There are a few overseas manufacturers. Bosto makes tablet monitors, but few have bought them stateside and even fewer offered their thoughts on the experience. Ordering direct from China seems the only option for purchase and shipping drastically increases the cost, making the risk to reward on higher than I'd feel comfortable.
Yiynova offers several different displays and sizes. These tablet monitors are available on Amazon via their U.S. distributor, The Panda City.
The Yiynova 10.1" DP10 has a battery-driven pen with 1024 levels of pressure, an LED backlit 10.1" display, and uses only two USB ports for operation for $299.
The barrier of entry was low enough that I ordered it out of intellectual curiosity if nothing else. It arrived a few days later.
The drivers supplied with the DP10 were out of date. A bit of research showed that Waltop makes the tablet digitizer and that DisplayLink provides the tech for the USB powered display. I downloaded the newest drivers but had some issues with OS X Lion. The DP10 only worked in Mirror Mode and lacked the calibration button that the driver settings should have offered. Panda City says others have gotten the display running fine in Lion and that it may be an issue specific to my MacPro, but I was unable to verify those claims.
In Windows, everything ran fine. The LED-backlit display quality was superior to the TFT display of the Cintiq 20WSX and Cintiq 12WX. The USB only conncection was super portable and convenient, and, were I pairing it with a laptop, a better alternative than a Cintiq which requires a USB, DVI, and separate power source for operation. I did experience some viewing angle annoyances, but the low price of $299 softened the hard edges.
The issues I was having in Lion made the display less useable for me, so I contacted Panda City and asked if I could exchange the DP10 towards their 19' monitor, the MSP19. They complied, even offering to send me the MSP19 before the DP10 had arrived back.
Even if the MSP19 had to be run as a single monitor, it was large enough to be a primary display whereas the 10.1' as an only display felt restrictive. The 19' MSP19 arrived and was much lighter than my Cintiq. I was surprised with the quality of the fit and finish. The build quality got my hopes up.
The MSP19's LED backlit display was a welcome relief after the soupy, muddy TN panel of the Cintiq, but the good news ended there. It had significant issues in OSX. Drawing straight lines proved difficult. There was large cursor jitter. The pen dropped connection after a few minutes requiring the system to be rebooted. The color temperature of the monitor wavered between warm and cool, flickering at random intervals.
Panda City's support offered to send me a second MSP19 while I held on to the first. If I didn't like either, they would ship them both back at no charge. If the Yiynova displays weren't meeting my expectations, Panda City was exceeding them. They were helpful and kind throughout the process.
The replacement monitor arrived. The pen stopped dropping its connection. The color flickering disappeared. The jittery cursor remained. Browsing Waltop's digitizer support site and searching on the topic lead me to believe OSX was a secondary concern for the company. OSX and the Yiynova didn't want to cooperate and I was getting tired with trying to force them to cohabitate.
I'd been planning on putting together a Windows box for a few 3D apps with no Mac equivalent, so I gave the MSP19 a shot on Win7x64.
Performance was night and day. There was still some jitter, but nothing like when it was used in OSX. At one third the price of my Cintiq, with a better display and lighter form factor, I've decided to keep the MSP19 for use on my second machine.
I can't recommend it for OSX users just yet. But, if you're running Windows and are looking for a cheap tablet monitor, the Yiynova is a competitive alternative. I'm glad Yiynova is in the market, competing. Lack of competition breeds complacency and the value proposition on Cintiqs is way out of whack.

Initial Set up Process can be difficult, but good supprt helped show the way
October 14, 2011
By liqorice
This review has been edited. Initially I had some issues and spent a fruitless day trying to set this up correctly.
Just to summarize very quickly. In the office I am on a Windows 7 PC with 2 24 inch Monitors, and an Nvidia Geforce GTX560 Ti Graphics card.
After you have ensured you have installed the latest drivers and display link software (Details can be found in C. Wangs excellent support post) You should ensure that A you have re-started and B; this is the important part, Go in to the Nvidia Control Panel and go into Display look for the Change resolution option and press customize you can then see an option that says add your own resolution. For this product, the USB 10.1 inch digitizer display, you should create a 1024x600 resolution. Add these for one or both of your monitor display set ups. Now your almost there, Go into your windows control panels and find the display control panel, bring it up read, and now switch on your USB touch panel. Switching on the display causes your monitors to refresh, i.e. go off then on, they are basically autodetecting each other and figuring out the best way to play nice. once they stop you may notice that your monitors have selected the 800x600 option and do not display correctly on the touch panel. Simply go into the resolution option and find the newly created 1024x600 resolution you made early. hey presto everything works.
Overall its a good product, A viable alternative to the Wacom product for a quarter of the price, it does have a few short comings but I will just bullet point my summary regarding it;
Pros
- Cheap
- Physically hassle free i.e. doesnt need a seperate power cable, everything is juiced from USB :)
- nice design
- light and sturdy
Cons
- Toy like feeling may throw you off
- Pen requires a battery :(
- Initial set up can be a hassle but dont be afraid to contact support.
- Requires you to recalibrate when you switch between the display mode being on or off
Wanted to give it 3 and a half stars as 3 seems a little harsh and I dont want to seem overly negative about the product.
If you have any issues with it dont hesitate to contact me or the helpful guys at Displaylink or the product makers.

I just bought this. I was able to get it to function off and on on the first day. No sensitivity in photoshop of course. Every time i turn my computer off or hibernate, it stopped working. Now it wont work at all. All I get are VERTICLE LINES with DISTORTION. I was hopin this would work out. Windows 7, AMD 64 bit. I've done every combo of drivers i can think of.
EDIT 24 JAN *
I've managed to get the tablet stable. The tablet requires 2 drivers, one for display, one for tablet input. I used the 15" tablet drivers from WALTOP's driver downloads which are compatible with the yiynova internals. I used the display driver from DirectLink's website. Sensitivity and display work proper now. Lots of trial and error to set this thing up but it works fairly nicely. I've never used a display tablet before so I can't compare, but I have used wacom graphire tablets; very similar input. A litle slippery when drawing on the glass, surface creates a pretty good gap between the pen and the display itself, but nothing terrible. Overall, I got a brand new tablet that meets my hobby "no-profit" needs for a fraction of the price of Cintiq. Upgrade from 2 to 4 stars for final product.
