So I finally bit the bullet and got the Monoprice 22-inch pen display. It's super nice, build quality is great, and unlike with Cintiqs there are actual recent drivers (May 2016) and it's almost as easy as plug and play. Plugged it in, installed the drivers, and it was ready to use. Took less that 5 minutes to have it up and running.
There's just one enormous problem.
There's some kind of glitch, I don't know if it's with the software or the hardware, but the tablet will register an input from simply hovering the pen over the screen which makes it almost unusable to me. In photoshop, I'll draw a line and in my history it will register 15+ lines to the point where I can't just CTRL-Z and undo it. I have to flip the pen and manually erase every single mistake or change I want which completely fucks my work flow. It also means that things like the eyedropper and selection tools are almost completely unusable, and it sometimes even causes the brush to jump while I'm in mid-stroke so my line goes haywire - and then I can't even just undo it. Infuriating.
I'm going to have to send it back and I'm heartbroken but I'm not interested in sitting around and waiting for them to patch it while I have actual work I need to get done. With the Cintiq at least when my computer decides to register it, it works flawlessly. This registers flawlessly but I can't use it to work for shit. A comic page that should have only taken me a few hours has taken almost 8 and I'm not even done lettering it yet. Absolutely unacceptable but them's the breaks for a $500 tablet I guess. I've even tried different drivers for other compatible tablets and it still fucks up.
If anyone knows of a fix please let me know, otherwise it's going back ASAP ):
