Workspace
The exact size of the active area of a tablet (or screen in a graphic display) in width and height. In general, it is more of a reference than a practically significant parameter: when choosing a traditional graphics tablet, there is often enough information about the format (see above), and for displays, primarily the diagonal (see above) and aspect ratio (see below) are of practical importance . However, the exact dimensions can also be useful in fact: for example, you can determine the aspect ratio from them (for classic tablets, this parameter is often not indicated).
Size
Diagonal of the working area — the screen itself — in a graphic display (see "Type").
In general, the larger the diagonal, the more convenient the device is to use: a large working area covers a large area for drawing and at the same time allows you to work effectively with small details. On the other hand, this parameter directly affects the price, and the dimensions cannot be discounted: in some cases, there may simply be no room for a large device.
By the standards of graphic displays,
13.3" or less is considered small,
15.6" is considered medium, and many models have
larger screens. And it is customary to evaluate the size of traditional tablets by the format, and not by the diagonal.
Brightness
The maximum brightness in cd/m² that the device screen produces.
High brightness displays remain highly readable under intense ambient light, such as when the workplace is exposed to sunlight. A dull image on a graphics tablet screen can be “blown out” by such lighting. Note that a large margin for this parameter affects the cost and power consumption of the display.
Colour depth
The number of shades that the device screen can display. The parameter is indicated in bits, not for the entire display, but for each individual base color. Let us remind you that the image in modern screens is based on three basic colors according to the RGB scheme - red, green and blue. 6-bit depth means that the display is capable of producing 2^6 shades of each base color, i.e. a total of 64 shades of red, green and blue. The total number of shades is 64*64*64 = 262,144 (262 thousand). In screens with
8-bit depth, there are already 256 shades for each basic color - in total, they are capable of displaying over 16.7 million colors. And the most advanced displays support
10-bit color depth, allowing you to work with more than a billion shades.
High color depth is important for professional graphics and related tasks that require high color accuracy.
Pen model
The model of the pen that comes with the device. Allows you to understand which one is used and learn more fully its full characteristics. In this case, in the case of a replacement, you will already be aware of which accessory is needed for the purchase. However, nothing prevents you from replacing the existing one with a more advanced one, of course, if the graphics tablet itself allows you to work with a different pen model.
