Affordable Cintiq clone?

You're probably better off getting an actual Cintiq, but I was checkin out Monoprice for cables today when I ran across this:

Looks to be very similar to a Cintiq (one of the smaller ones, anyway) and there is a 30 day return window with no restocking fee, so it might be worth looking into. Just thought I'd pass it along if anyone was interested.

My main doubt about non-Wacom anything is the drivers. Wacom pen drivers let you tailor the pen buttons to have specific uses for each program, but the non-Wacom pen drivers I've encountered do not.

 

This turns out to be a big deal when you want to assign a keyboard shortcut to a pen button or but don't want that keyboard shortcut to be active in every program you use.

 

I would want to know more about a pen display's drivers before I bought.

 

Other than that, these things probably work pretty well and are similar in usefulness to a cintiq.

Yes I'm with you on that one Rob.

The Wacoms are almost infinitely customisable per app. And lets not forget the ability to backup, and if need be, restore all your custom settings.

Also on my Intuos there's the "Touch Wheel" which I find invaluable for rotating and zooming the canvases while drawing and painting.
