This is a fantastic value for a digital artist. It many of the features of the big boys, at a price they will never match.Just about 22” of monitor that is the same as my current desktop monitor. I am using this as a third monitor to draw on. It works fantastically, there is so much space allowing you to visually see your tools with your drawing. You can move this around in multiple positions to get it to be just right for you.One thing that has always set VEIKK apart from many other companies is that they think of the things you might need and they send it with the monitor. Display port adapter? Yup. Multiple Styluses? Of course. Enough nibs to last you years, even with drawing/illustrating/painting every day? You betcha.Oh did I mention that it comes WITH the multi positional stand? Because it does. The other far more expensive units don’t even come packaged with that, you have to pay even more (for something that is already 2 – 3x the price of the Veikk!)The drivers download easily and are easy to setup. You have multiple hotkeys you can use that can be programmed for ANY keyboard or mouse commands. This means you can get all your most used combos on the screen and never even have to touch a keyboard while you are using it. (You don’t even need to be a computer geek to get it setup, it really is super friendly and configurable)The colors are great, the monitor is crisp, and it is also Matte – this is something that is overlooked in many tablets – a lot of them you have to get another screen protector to make it low reflection, but VEIKK thought about it and made a monitor that is good for artists.The size of the monitor really means that I could completely replace my main monitor for the VK2200 and be perfectly functional for any day to day task as well. I have enjoyed testing out streaming video and movies, checking out photos etc. making sure that the clarity is persistent across any activity – and it is.It is also super easy with the control buttons on the side to really dig down into the different monitor settings that you may tweak for your own monitors regularly. A lot of other devices like this have the buttons hidden where they cannot be accessed, or require some weird motions to complete. The VEIKK has everything up front so you can get to them easily, and they are easy to understand.Overall I am super happy with this purchase, and if you are looking at a big screen area for upping your art game – purchase the VEIKK VK2200 – you will not be sorry!

So, I had a bit of issues with this drawing tablet at first. I own a MacBook air, and the manual it comes with is mostly geared towards people who own a windows computer. But after emailing the company back and forth they answered all of my questions and gave me tips and tricks to connect it and I got it working on my MacBook!! They were very kind and respectful too. The Veikk 2200 sometimes it needs a bit of calibrating from time to time which doesn't bother me personally. The drawing tablet is beautiful and very professional looking. I love the built in stand the screen size it's a good tablet for a Beginner such as myself. Beware it's not the best to use on Photoshop or Adobe illustrator. I got Medibang (which is free and I recommend) and it works fine!I recommend it for the price!

Got this pen display because the size, form factor, and specs. Sadly, the driver does not do this product justice. I've had a wacom 22hd before and thought this would be a nice smaller/cheaper replacement. It was definitely smaller and more compact, but getting it to extend my laptop display was a nightmare. In addition, anytime you unplug the cords from your laptop or reset your laptop you will have to recalibrate the pen. There were to many issues just trying to use the tablet that just added more time to a process I consider to be relaxing. It is a budget tablet, but not an ideal one for me.

For comparison, I have frequently used two generation of Cintiq, iPad Pro 12.9 (with pen), Surface Book 2 (with pen), and other similar drawing tablets.GOOD:Let me start by saying the screen itself isn't bad, and for the money it's actually pretty good.Color range and reproduction is actually pretty good. Wide gamut.Contrasty but the range is not great especially when viewing angle is off.NEEDS WORK:- Viewing angle is terrible. If you're not dead-center, color cast everywhere + contrast changes dramatically.- Brightness adjustment is very poor. This monitor is VERY BRIGHT no matter what you do. I must turn the lights up in my office super bright or else I feel like I'm cooking my eye balls.- Software is terrible. Pen calibration is needed every time I put my computer to sleep/hibernate/restart.- Parallax with the pen is a little worse than other similar technology but not bad. Acceptable when calibrated (but you have to calibrate ALL THE TIME and it gets old).- Pen Pressure Sensitivity IS NOT 8192. It's more like 82. More on this later.- Touch buttons are inconveniently placed, I find I don't even use them, but they do work.Pen Pressure -- When I do my tests, I find there is a range of pressure values between 0 and 8192 as stated. However the minimum value change per level is approximately 100. So it's really 82 levels of pressure. Not great at all. It works for things like using pressure to control brush size, but not good for using pressure to control opacity or other visual values.CONCLUSION:For the money, I decided to keep mine. As a monitor it's pretty good as long as your viewing angle is absolutely center. When using the pen, just be mindful of what the pressure is good for. Be prepared to calibrate daily.
