Cintiq Alternative Comparisons: Pen Accuracy - Waltop 3/3 Ruler

There's been endless discussions about alternatives for Wacom's Cintiq displays. But no one seem to offer anything substantial as to why Wacom FEELS Better.

With that, I was able to get hold of a tablet monitor made using Waltop's digitizer (Yiynova, Adesso, P-Active, and more). So I did a closer inspection of the pen tracking, and compared it to HP's 2730p, a Tabletpc with a Wacom digitizer. Calibration has been done for both devices.

Verdict: For activities like painting and sketching, the Waltop monitor does suffice. But If you need to do fine line inking/tracing, with typical stroke sizes of 1-5 pixels, Wacom is still undisputed. For a price, of course.
