The VGA / USB cord measures roughly 4 feet. Fortunately, I had a new VGA to DVI cable laying around, so I didn’t have to go out and purchase an extra adaptor. If your machine has DVI or DisplayPort inputs, you’ll need to purchase an adaptor to connect the Yiynova to your machine.

It’s light enough to lift, and perfect for use in a desktop environment, but too bulky to take along as a portable drawing studio. The unit includes an adjustable display stand and a hybrid VGA / USB cable. The Yiynova 19U has a reflective surface, with an approximate 2″ bezel. The Yiynova 19u comes with a 1 year parts and labor warranty, serviceable by The Panda City.

Inside the box was the tablet monitor itself, a warranty sheet, documentation, a stylus (with AAA battery), two replacement nibs, a nib puller, a stylus “clip” that affixes to the back of the tablet monitor, a power cable with power brick, and a quick start guide for both Mac and PC users. (I’m assuming all Yiynova units are manually tested before they are sent out – but I can’t confirm that.) There was a small sticker affixed to the seam of the box showing that the unit had been tested on Janu– presumably to minimize the likelihood of sending a defective product. Inside the Amazon box was a sturdy box labeled 19 inch Tablet Monitor. (I’m sure this was a direct result of Ray’s review.) Finally, a week and a half later, my Yiynova 19U arrived. At that point, there was already a two week backorder on the device. I ordered my Yiynova 19U from Amazon for $569 + $25 in shipping on December 31st. Would this be a worthwhile purchase? Or would I have just blown close to $600 on a device made by an unfamiliar company? With credit card in hand, I decided to take a bullet for the Internet. In my mind, the Yiynova sounded too good to be true. Finally, on December 31st, I pulled the trigger and ordered my Yiynova MSP19U (hereafter referred to as Yiynova 19U, for brevity). Could this device really be good alternative to the Wacom Cintiq?ĭetermined to learn more, I searched the Internet. His review really made an impression on me.
Then, about two months ago, I read Ray’s review of the Yiynova MSP19U (retail $569US at Amazon). Unfortunately, up until recently, there weren’t any alternatives. With prices starting at $1999 for the 22HD model, moving all the way up to $2800 for the 24HD model, the Cintiq was just too expensive for me to consider. Prior to the Yiynova, the only viable option available to me was the Wacom Cintiq. The reason for that is simple: when using a tablet, there is an inherent disconnect between mark making and observation.
I’ve been using Wacom tablets for 15 years – and while they have been excellent – they’ve never been a truly natural way to draw.ĭrawing with a tablet takes practice – and even with experience, it’s not a completely seamless process. Like many a digital artist, I have been lusting after a device that will let me directly draw on a pressure sensitive screen. It’s the rockstar equivalent of owning a legendary Fender Strat.
