Was about to get one soon. =46rom the review I saw it h= ad a ton of pros and barely any cons. I think the user did say that it had p= roblems in mac os vs windows 7 though. Are you running on a Mac? Are you us= ing multiple monitors? =46rom the specs alone, it shouldn't be having that problem. =20 These specs are from the review. I'm unsure which Wacom tablet they used for= comparison.=20 Specifications: (Note that these are GREATER than Wacom's specs) 10x6.25" Working Area 1024 pressure levels 4000 LPI resolution 200 (report rate) Specifications for Wacom's Pen Tablet: 5.8 X 3.6" working area 512 Pressure levels 1270 LPI resolution 133 (report rate) ////Greg Balint ///Art Director / Motion Graphics Designer delRAZOR.com/ On May 11, 2012, at 11:43 PM, Jeremy Silveira wrot= e: > on a side note to this I would not consider the MonoPrice tablet better th= an a Wacom, although they are definitely a lot cheaper. There are instances= where it works just as well but I found it really hard to do precise things= like adding keyframes to audio tracks in Final Cut, the cursor is really ji= ttery when you try to move it slowly so it would always add a keyframe and t= hen move the levels up or down at the same time which was annoying enough fo= r me to just pay the extra money for the Wacom (which I think has been worth= it) >=20 > Jeremy Silveira > Studio 601.
