The Air has a mini display/thunderbolt port, so an adapter was required to pair it with the Yiynova. I tested the unit on maxed 2012, 13” Macbook Air. I do both from time to time, so it may be of some use. It’s an odd inclusion, but could be handy for making presentations or when teaching a digital art class. There’s a VGA out port on the back of the monitor that will mirror the activity on your tablet to yet another external display. Photoshop, Painter, Manga Studio, and nearly any art app worth it’s salt allow users to rotate the canvas arbitrarily. Rotation is not possible, but I find it to be less of a necessity these days. The stand allows for either complete verticality or nearly horizontal viewing angles and is easy to operate. Until a manufacturer creates a unit with an iPad-like fused LCD and glass display, cursor parallax will be a concern (and is present for both the MSP19U and Cintiqs). The glass of the display sits above the LCD by around an 1/8th of an inch and looks to be about the same distance as my previous Cintiq. This particular category is probably a draw. If I had to choose between lower PPI or dimmer, muddier colors, I’d pick slightly lower PPI. It’s a little cool out of the box, but was fine once calibrated. The LED backlighting on the Yiynova makes for a brighter overall display. Prying, scraping, and modding a $2,499 device to make it useable is a bummer and I went into a lot of detail about the shortcomings of Cintiq tech in my previous review if you want to learn more. It helped a little, but was still less than ideal and was not an activity for the faint of heart. I went so far as to remove the glass from my Cintiq to scrape the coating off its back. While the Wacom beats the Yiynova in sheer PPI, I always found the color of Cintiqs to be quite muddy thanks in part to an antiglare coating present on the monitors and dim backlighting. It’s nearest Wacom neighbor, the 22HD, has a 22,” 1920x1080, and 100.13 PPI, screen. Thinner than a Cintiq thanks to its LED backlighting, I find myself occasionally sitting the Yiynova in my lap like a digital art board.Īt 19,” 1440x900, and 89.37 PPI, no one will mistake the Yiynova for a retina level display. It has 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity and a 4000lpi digitizer. It comes with one stylus, one battery, and several additional pen nibs. The Yiynova MSP19U is a 19,“ 1440x900 tablet monitor with an adjustable, VESA-compatible stand and mounting bracket. Unboxing, Specs, and the Physical Properties of the Unit It even bests the Cintiq in a few key areas. The MSP19U is a second generation product that jettisons the inferior Waltop digitizers of the first model and replaces them with UC Logic internals.ĭoes the pairing live up to the sum potential of its disparate parts? Can a relatively unknown $569 tablet monitor compete with a $1999 Wacom Cintiq? Yes, it competes. I even bought some hardware to try and make my own. I wished that someone could pair the underlying, fantastic UC Logic digitizer tech with a tablet monitor enclosure. Eight months, four tablets and around nine styli later, I became an all UC Logic studio. I was so pleased with the UC Logic based tablets that I purchased a heap of other equipment by them. They sensed light pressure with more accuracy than any Wacom hardware I’ve owned. They’re snappier in OSX than Wacom equivalents with less cursor lag and crisper fidelity in small movements. My conclusion? The Waltop digitizer was junk and it let the otherwise competent hardware hanging.Īfter, I reviewed Monoprice’s graphics tablets. The display quality and fit and finish were fine, but the underlying tablet tech was a let down. Creating straight lines was near impossible especially when making a deliberate, slow effort and the cursor jumped around like a ferret on meth. There was significant jitter in the line quality. The Yiynova used Waltop digitizers (digitizers being the bit of hardware that senses stylus position and pressure variance). I purchased those units and they left me wanting. Yiynova took on Wacom’s tablet display monopoly last year with their release of the DP10 and MSP19.

Red is where my cursor is, black is where it's drawing.The Yiynova MSP19U Cintiq Alternative Swings for the Fences With the release of their second generation budget Cintiq alternative, the MSP19U, Yiynova gets it right So I uninstall it and re-install it and open SAI and the cursor is waaaay offset. Long story short I get home from my vacation, plug my Cintiq in, and no workie. From searching the web I know it is a very common problem. Thank you soulswitch for letting me know if was an issue with the latest wacom driver!! Fixed my problem!!Ĭurious if anyone has fixed this problem.
