Got this at an exceptional price from Monoprice for my #2 grandson's birthday. It is just like the ones they used in an art class at school, and he loves it. His only comment is that it really needs more/better software to be useful.

She likes it!

This display tablet is delight. The price is amazing, the unit is thin and fairly light, the package comes with some very nice accessories (when it's unplugged, it comes with a lovely heavy felt protective sleeve) and lots of spare nibs for the extremely light and nimble batteryless stylus.

There are only a few surprises that can cause a bit of consternation. First, the custom cable is micro HDMI. That's a good thing...unless your monitor is taking up your only HDMI port on your graphics board. My Nvidia card has one HDMI port and three Display Ports. My monitor has the opposite port arrangement. If you have a similar arrangement, buy a DisplayPort cable when you buy the tablet. The reason is left as an exercise for the student.

Calibrating is finicky. Clicking on the right spots only once each is difficult but worth doing carefully.

A better manual would also be a very useful thing. The quick start guide is good, but not enough.

That's it. Buy it already.

I picked up 2 of these. 1 for myself and 1 for my son to use for their artwork and drawing purposes. We work on Mac computers and it took a bit to get set up to work. I use mine on both my desktop and my new MacBook Pro M1. It works good more my main purpose which doesn't require pressure sensitivity. For my son's use it is pretty much useless and they'll likely just use it as a second monitor on the MacBook Pro M1 when they are editing videos. But we've spent so much time trying to figure out how to get the art and drawing applications that they use to recognize the tablet pressure. We've searched out newer drivers and any info we can find on this issue to no avail. We can not get any of the art drawing apps on my desktop with Mac OS 10.14.6 or either one of our MacBook Pro M1's to work with pressure sensitivity. Still hoping that there will be new drivers or updates that will solve the issue.

Daughter loves it. We?ll worth it!

however, whatever you do, dont use the slip sleeve, it literally scratches the screen. I'm so bummed it basically ruined my tablet.

This is my first pen display since I'm just getting into applications when a pen display is the best option. The tablet arrived today and I just finished setting it up on my new Macbook Air M1 computer.

It took some work arounds since the Macbook Air M1 only has two ports, both being USB-C (the oval type). The included cable that comes with the tablet is mini-HDMI (tablet-side) to HDMI (computer-side), and USB-C (tablet-side) to USB-A (computer-side). So I had to run the HDMI through a 7-in-1 USB-C hub to connect that to my laptop, and a USB-A to USB-C adapter to plug the power/data cable into my computer. NOTE: The holes where you connect the cable into the tablet on small, tight, and deep., so all of my other mini-HDMI and USB-C cables would not fit.

My next problem was that Monoprice has an old Mac driver on their website, so it was preventing me from calibrating the tablet. After trying for 30 minutes, I went directly to the manufacturer's website (Bosto Tablet) and got their driver (dated: 12-10-2021). When installing this you have to 1) manually right click and select Open, because it is an unsigned driver so the Mac doesn't trust it. 2) You have to go into your Mac's System Preferences then Security & Privacy, then Accessibility and select the checkbox next to BostoTablet.app. This is normal since you have to do the same thing when setting up a mouse. 3) Once installed, open the BostoTablet app in Applications. You should see a few things: Under "General" you should see Pen Status as Connected. Next go straight to Calibration and follow those steps. Your pen won't register until you start calibration. Place the pen on the table in the middle of the cross-hairs for a few seconds; the cross-hairs will then move to the each corner so you can repeat those steps. After that, the pen is fully functional. You can now start adjusting pressure and sensitivity. Note: you do not have to press hard on the tablet. In fact, the tablet can sense the pen before you even make contact. To learn how this works, do a search for "How EMR Stylus Works?" (EMR stands for "Electro-Magnetic Resonance")

First off, I'm not a professional. I make comics and other art principally with legacy tools. I'm not a luddite, but I really don't like much of the digital art I see.
Given all that, I did decide to buy this because I do color work on the computer. As I am not a professional I was never going to spend the money required for a Wacom Cintiq! This device meets all of my needs at a very affordable price.
I downloaded and installed the drivers for my Windows laptop. Make sure you enable the digitizer configuration tool and go through all of the steps BEFORE you make art. You have to configure the buttons at the top of the screen. I set mine up for Photoshop shortcuts.
The only problems I have had were intermittent black-outs on the screen, and a lack of data for the tablet. I still don't know what the knob and button on the left-side of the tablet are for!
