Love it.
I purchased this because it's currently the only alternative to the 27" Cintiq on the market, and it's half the price (Counting the stand and depending on where you buy, the Cintiq is closer to triple the price!)I was VERY impressed with the comprehensive collection of accessories provided in the box, including two pairs of reversible gloves, two pens, and all the cables and adapters you could need. If you have to go cable shopping at all for this, I can't imagine why unless you need to set it up more than a few feet away from your computer. The cables are standard length, but a large desk setup may require longer. I also found the driver software easy to install, easy to customize using the tablet tray icon, and the device feels great.It's a glass surface, although there are plastic overlays for screen tablets model with multiple grades of "grit", which provide a more paper-like experience and light diffusion. I won't bother with that, because I prefer the crisp look to the duller Cintiq screens, and I find drawing on glass to be smooth and pleasant. That's a matter of personal taste, of course, so the options are out there.The pens are very nice and comfortable. Not quite as solid or luxurious as the newest from Wacom, but a thousand times nicer than the old Graphire pens I've been using for years. All in all, the pens feel very nice. The pressure sensitivity is fantastic. I was sent two red-ringed pens with 5g sensitivity. I contacted Panda City before receiving it to ask if I was going to receive two different pens, or two of the same, and without even having to request it, they offered to swap out one or both of the pens no prob. They said they have a 3g (initial activation force) pen, and they also list one that is "<1g", which is comparable to the newest Wacom pens I've seen. I was very happy with the 5g pen, but I'd like to have a more sensitive one as well for variety. I may like sketching better with the lower IAF pen.The remote it comes with is not bad at all. I'm not a fan of the big, loud buttons, but I like the spinning wheel and the button at it's center much more than the virtual wheels of the Wacom devices. The Yiynova remote wheel actually physically spins, and feels great to the touch. If all you do with it is resize the brush, hit undo, etc, then you may love it. If you need to switch tools a lot and require fact access to lots of keys, I would recommend a gamer's keypad with a wheel. If you would rather use the keyboard, I've noticed it fits nicely between the screen and the stand behind it.The stand is really great. It doesn't lock, but it doesn't really slide or move either. And you can set it at any arbitrary angle. Panda City also distributes a locking stand for these, and if you want an arm, you can either pick up an Ergotron, or get the one from Panda City for around $100. I really like the pen holder in the back too, because with two pens, it'll be nice to keep the spare close by and not lose it.Nitpicks? A few. When I tried to use the pen buttons as right-click in conjunction with ALT in order to resize the brush in Photoshop, it often pops into a mode where the pen spans across both my monitors. This also deletes the monitor tab from the tray app. Rebooting fixes it just fine. This doesn't really bother me, because I think ALT-right-click-drag is the worst way to resize the brush. I haven't found any other quirks with the driver. Would be nice if they address it for an upcoming release of the drivers though. I'm also seeing some of the minor accuracy issues when moving the pen very (VEERRRYYY) slowly. It's often called jitter, and although its often attributed to the cheaper screen tablets, I have seen two YouTube reviews where the exact same thing occurred on a Wacom Cintiq Mobile Studio Pro 16. It doesn't effect my work at all, but if you make very slow and precise lines, you may want to research ANY tablet before you buy (And YES, that includes the Cintiq models).Speaking of which, I'd like to address a few other objections I've seen for non-Wacom screen tablets: Some have complained about pressure issues. I saw one YT video where the pressure would jump and skip over the mid-range. I see nothing like this on my Yiynova. The pressure operates on a very smooth curve. I found that setting it all the way down in the tray app settings gave me a wider bandwidth of sensitivity, so keep that in mind. Yes there is a reflection issue and it is a slick surface because it is glass (just like any iPad), but you can get an overlay to solve that. If you hate the stand, it can be fitted with any VESA stand, so no worries there. One reviewer complained of lose connections on the back, but the connections on mine are just fine. It won't crush the cords (something even Cintiq's have issues with) because the connections are all on the side of the stand. It's a pretty convenient place to put them, actually. There is a parallax. If I had to guess, I'd say maybe between 1/16" and 1/8". Doesn't bother me so far at all. Although it is important to setup properly with the 9-point calibration; sit exactly how you would normally sit and click it where it appears to be centered from your viewpoint. That will offset the parallax quite a bit.How do I feel about the purchase? Well, I have an enormous 27" screen tablet with a beautiful, bright picture for about $1500 less than a 27QHD with Ergostand would cost, so I'm ecstatic. Your mileage may vary.

Best customer service and bang for your buck
This behemoth is an amazing alternative to Cintiq. While the whites are as bright as I’m used to, once I started drawing I completely didn’t notice it. The pen tip is sensitive and I love the glide on the smooth screen. Yiynova also has the most killer customer service anywhere. They helped me get this thing up and running on my old as heck computer and responded to all my questions super fast. While I’m a professional graphic designer, I’m wanting to focus on learning more digital illustration in my free time. This thing is a blast and I’m glad I got it! I upgraded to this one after my old beloved 8 year old Yiynova MSP19U needed to retire. I’m glad I stuck with the brand, they are literally the nicest people with a great product and a great price.

I was very disappointed when I saw the specs
I've been a long time Yiynova customer (didn't get this one through Amazon though) so I was very excited when they announced a 27-inch competitor to Wacom's Cintiq.After using the device for two weeks, I have mixed feelings.From the perspective of a former customer: I was very disappointed when I saw the specs, and realized that even after more than a whole year delay, the 27-inch is basically just a bigger version of their previous products. It still uses the same battery powered pen, the same solid but not remarkable 1080p resolution (though it's worse now since it's spread out over more screen inches), the same mediocre remote, and same decent but not fantastic drivers.There are three improvements: one is the newer chassis design, where the cables are now all modular and can be completely detached from the unit: a pleasant improvement. What I don't like about this is however is that the ports reside on the kickstand itself, rather than the unit itself. This means the kickstand is not removable, making it more awkward and cumbersome to mount the device on a desk arm.The kickstand itself now has no locking mechanism, and is instead a very steady hinge with infinite angles. I find this kind of unnerving, because placing a lot of weight on the screen could alter the angle of the screen. This didn't happen during my testing, so I guess it works as intended.A very welcome improvement is the addition of "edge stoppers": basically staggered set of hooks behind the bottom of the display that can rest on the edge of a desk: allowing you to get much closer to the action. This also works very well, and is an excellent addition to the tablet.There's a metal handle above the kickstand. It wobbles around a lot, giving you the impression that it's broken. Turns out this is by design, and it's only purpose is to act as a handle to make it easier to lift the monitor. It's very weird, but it works exactly as intended, maybe even really well, so I can't fault it.Chassis aside: the fundamentals of this device are solid just like all of this company's previous products. Good pen dynamics with very responsive tracking and excellent pressure curve. The initial activation force could be better (it starts at 5g, but Wacom's starts at <1 if I recall), but in practice it doesn't really affect me. Parallax is improved slightly: there now seems to be about 1/6 an inch between tip of the pen and where the cursor shows up beneath the glass.Drivers are simple and functional. No complaints.The remote is awful. It's a stick that seems designed to be held in hand. But this makes it cumbersome for your thumb to jump between the buttons, thus slowing you down. You can also stick the remote onto the screen, but in this form the ergonomics for your hand make absolutely no sense. Thankfully I don't use it.My ideal remote would be something like a configurable number pad that can be magnetically attached to the screen: similar to Wacom's ExpressKey remote, only with bigger, softer buttons.In conclusion, I'm giving this 5 stars because even though I have some minor qualms about this product, the customer support is excellent, it does it's job well, despite having some strange ergonomic quirks, it's dirt cheap compared to Wacom's equivalent, and I want this company to succeed.I'm disappointed Yiynova didn't take this opportunity to really knock it out of the park: if they had done: QHD (1440p) display, battery-free pen tech with lower intial activiation, and a standard, locking kickstand like they had in the past, at this price would've been an absolute homerun. However I can't let my disappointment distract from the fact that it's a great product.
