Yiynova MVP22U(V3) Tablet Monitor, DVI, Hotkey, IPS Panel(Mac & Windows & Linux)

This product feels more accurate and intuitive than my previous drawing tablets (Intuos 4 and 5 Touch). The customer service is also 5x better, not to mention the much more affordable price tag.I had some trouble with my first shipment -- it worked great for two weeks, then some sort of fuse broke inside and I had to get a new one shipped to me. They pretty much shipped it overnight and called ME to make sure my needs were being taking care of. Amazing customer service to the point that it shocked me.The product itself is actually quite light, weight wise, for being 22 inches. It's a bit of a pain to take with me on road trips, but it IS doable -- and it comes with a nice carrying box (complete with a plastic handle) and bubble sleeves to protect it during travel.It also comes with an adapter for those of you using iMacs. At least, my second shipment did.For me, the color calibration was too yellow for my liking out of the box -- but after I got used to the tablet, I was able to calibrate it more closely to what I wanted. The buttons on the back in order to change these settings are positioned very awkwardly, and I had to fight with it for a few minutes because I couldn't see the screen selections and the buttons I was pressing at the same time. Still, calibration was possible.The pen feels a little bit cheap, but still VERY close to using a Wacom pen.Yiynova has created a formidable product against the expensive Cintiqs. If you don't have the money to blow on a Cintiq and want something that will eliminate that weird "I can't get used to not looking at my own hand while I draw" thing, this is a great investment. It's a real beauty, too, looks wise, when you pull it out of the box! Which doesn't hurt. It is a little bit clunky because of all the cords, but it's not really a big deal once you get drawing; they're pretty long so you can move them out of the way; I run them behind my desk.Happy drawing!

I switched from a Wacom Cintiq to the Yiynova after using a friend's 19 inch version. It's attractive looking, and feels as solid as a Cintiq. Best of all, it's LIGHTER than a Cintiq 22HD. Drawing on the Yiynova feels nice, and has no lags or hiccups. The colors and text look great, despite some of the other reviews. I have the (V2) version, which may be the reason.One of my issues with the Yiynova MVP22U(V2) is the pen, which isn't as strongly built as the tablet. The rubber cover is flimsy, and peels off as you draw. I already have a small crack in the pen's plastic, simply from twisting off the top to replace the battery ( I should mention that pen stylus runs on a AA battery). That said, the stylus fells good in the hand, and I can go for hours of drawing without any discomfort.As a left handed person, it's frustrating that the pen holder can only be set on the right side of the tablet. Two options would be easy, and very helpful!There are a row of hot buttons are on the top of the tablet. They feel kind of oddly placed and clunky, but they work. I never use them.Other than that, it's a great device for the price. I'm very happy with mine.

This monitor has always been a mess. First off it requires strange adapters. It has no HDMI cord. Also the included cord is permanently attached.Within a few months of owning this monitor it started to display an odd jittery line diagonally across the screen. The line would come and go randomly. Within a year the screen stopped turning on entirely and I had to return it for maintenance. The maintenance made the screen turn on again but did NOT fix the jittery line problem, which only got worse with more use. I would definitely not recommend this product. It may seem like a bargain but it is a waste of money.

Let me start by saying that the technology itself has been mostly satisfactory. I am a concept artist in the video game industry, and I use a Cintiq at work, and this Yiynova at home. I consider them very comparable. My only critique of the tech itself is that the sensitivity requires more pressure than I'd like to reach full opacity, even with the settings fully adjusted. This results in more wrist fatigue than I experience on my cintiq. If that was the only failing, I would still give the MVP 22u a five star rating....BUT....I am on my third MVP 22u v2.-The first had a diagonal flickering line through the middle of it. I sent it back, and received a second.-The second had a weirdly, overly sharp display, apparently a firmware upgrade they added, then removed. So I sent it back, and they sent one with the corrected/original sharpness.-I've been using the third one for several months, and as of a few days ago, it has developed the same diagonal flickering line through the center of it. It's faint, and sometimes I don't notice it, but other times it is bothersome and distracting.At this point, I'm tired of sending them back. My current plan? Deal with the flickering line until I can afford to upgrade to a Cintiq.It really pains me to rate this product so low, because who knows? Maybe it's my computer (brand new Windows desktop with great video card, motherboard, etc), or maybe I got the only four lemons that Yiynova has ever put out. But I simply can't recommend it to anyone when I've experienced such an abysmal track record of technical difficulties.One last pro: Their customer service is good.
