EasyCanvas because you can connect via USB-C and get a smoother connection

I'll put together a guide ASAP for you. I wondered when someone might ask about this, haha. I've been meaning to make a video about it for a while

I've listed the apps used in the description of the video

Haha, thanks, DPO. Trying to be all neat for the video. There's normally a lot more chaos going on there with multiple devices spread out when I'm in testing mode. Haha... I'm definitely more on the slower side when it comes to drawing and painting. But for you and Andy, I can imagine that input lag being a problem. I'll be sure to spend a little bit more time showing some painting as I get back into a good groove with the videos.

Yeah It's a great looking set up. It really looks inspiring!

@@SketchPLAY1 Thank you! I must say, the sit-stand desk has been really great, as well as the monitor arm/laptop trays to free up some space on there

Interesting. I haven't noticed that myself with this tablet, so I would still recommend the Tab S9FE, yes.

Great tablet to have :-)

3:59 I show the pressure sensitivity in Clip Studio Paint

Hm, is the pressure working in any other applications?

Hm, as far as I can tell, that will only use a small vertical section of the tablet in it's regular landscape mode. Perhaps it's worth looking at one of the XPPEN latest models, The S640 (same price roughtly) which appears to suit the phone in landscape or portrait mode while using the full area of the tablet. Note: I have not tested this tablet myself so please do look for some reviews of it Affiliate link here with more info about the tablet: shrsl.com/4plqc

Drivers install automatically when installing EL Display Hub from EasyCanvas website.

Generally fine. Some apps will handle it better than others. I normally wear a palm rejection glove though anyway

Yes. Some apps handle this better than others though. I generally found Clip Studio Paint and Infinite Painter handle it well, but you might have to test a couple and look for the appropriate setting in the app.

You can check my slightly longer video on the channel for a bit of info on why I think this tablet is a good option, but I'm sure you've watched many videos like that already. For split screen, it can feel a little bit cramped, but it's like working in a small sketchbook. For handwritten notes, I use the standard Samsung Notes app or Notewise. For typed notes, and planning videos and stuff, I often use Notion. For painting, I use Infinite Painter most of the time.

Hey. Well power definitely drains a bit quicker when in procreate especially if my brightness is up. But no out-of-the-ordinary battery performance for me on this 2022 model.

I'm busy working on a video and article about that. Second Screen can be used for drawing but I would instead recommend getting the EasyCanvas app instead or SuperDisplay. These allow for cabled connection which will be more reliable across most situations.

@@EyekooDrawsStuff I see, will it work CSP? I love to draw but I'm looking for an affordable tablet and one to carry with me.

@@evelynnkda8900 CSP is available on the Play Store and Samsung Store. So you can use it, yes. If you want to use the tablet with your computer, you need a licence for CSP on your computer

@@EyekooDrawsStuff *work.. sorry I didn't realise I typed "have" I meant "work". Will it work properly or will it crash and slow down?

@@evelynnkda8900 depends on how hard you push it. S9FE is not a super high-performing device so you will have to be mindful of canvas and brush sizes, having many detailed layers and such. So as you learn those limits, you might have to adapt your approach. That said, I haven't tested the full functionality of it on android or tested those limits. But I do know that it works and works well enough. I'd still recommend it

Glad the video was helpful. At that budget, take a look at the Galaxy Tab S9 FE if you looking for a standalone device. Might be able to pick up the larger FE Plus for a good price around Black Friday. XPPEN's Magic Drawing Pad is a better option than the Kamvas Slate, but the Galaxy Tab S9 will give you better all-round performance.

As far as I know, there is no toggle for this on the tablet itself. It's weird that it changes by itself sometimes though. Maybe this depends on the orientation of the Xiaomi Pad before connecting the Deco Fun?

As I mentioned in the video, you can instead use EasyCanvas to connect over a USB cable if the wireless option doesn't work out :-)

Delay is significantly reduced when using a cable. I'd make sure you're using a high quality usb-c cable for best performance, but generally I found it to be as good as a dedicated drawing display tablet with my hardware.

That said, it is less of a gamble going with a proper drawing display. But for reference, I was using a 2022 iPad Pro together with a ROG Strix G16 (2023)

@@EyekooDrawsStuff Thanks

Hey. Yes, sure, definitely warms up a bit while drawing and painting. pretty normal as far as I'm aware. Managing the brightness helps a bit with this but it will still get warm if you drawing for long periods.

And certainly if you have it plugged in and charging at the same time.

This I believe will vary for different devices depending on PC hardware. For me with WiFi 6E on my ROG Strix G16, I find it very smooth while drawing

@@EyekooDrawsStuff Thanks for answering, I have similar PC specs but I don't think I have a wifi 6e. Your art is superb too. Hope you post more. You gained a new subscriber.

Ah, sorry, I have no idea which brush I was using for this. It was quite a long time ago It was just one of the standard painting brushes available in the app

Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to test the Xiaomi Pad 6 Pro, so I cannot give an informed opinion on this. I do recall seeing other perspectives that it's pretty good value for money, but the line quality with the S Pen is still superior. As a painter, that might be less of an issue though

Are you sure it's not on wifi? Because I thought this too initially, but wifi gets turned on automatically when you activate second screen. You don't need internet, just the wifi connectivity

@@EyekooDrawsStuff Nah I don’t see the Wi-Fi symbol. I don’t know technicalities but the quality of connection is directly related to where I place my tablet in relation to my laptop. If I position it beneath my laptop stand, the connection is terrible but if either side of my laptop then it’s fine 🤷‍♂️

It doesn't show in the status bar at the top but when you bring down the full settings and notification panel, the wifi should show as active. Not for internet, but just for the casting of you computer screen. And, if you were to turn off the wifi on the computer (i mean completely turn off, not just disconnect from network), it would disconnect from the Galaxy Tab as well :-)

And you have the EL Display Hub application on your computer? Are you using MacOS or Windows? I had trouble with Mac but that's probably because I'm just really unfamiliar with the operating system

Oh interesting. I have my doubts about accuracy, but I am intrigued! But the other concern I have is projecting onto black... You're probably going to have to look up at your monitor a lot anyway to check your colours. So I'd rather turn that projector to a white wall in front of you and draw bigger. Again, colour might be an issue depending on the quality of projector and light in the space. It might be fun to experiment with though. When it comes to getting serious work done though... The standard configuration with a proper monitor is the way to go

Of course if your work is mainly 3D modeling or sculpture for printing, and colour isn't a big deal, that maybe changes things a bit from what I mentioned in my first comment

@@EyekooDrawsStuff yea with the monitor less tablets like this type I normally tape real white paper to them to get a real paper feel. So this could work then with a mini DLP projector with an angled mirror. Just a thought and it would be cool to try it. I like to think outside the box...

and yea you are right the coulour acuracy wouldnt be the best for painting but for zbrush it could work

@@3dprintingdoctor If you do try it, it would be great to hear how it goes 😀

Hey. Thank you! I only use a Paperlike screen protector on the iPad. On the Galaxy Tab and my Wacom One 13 Touch, I don't use a screen protector. The Galaxy Tab doesn't need because the pen tips are rubber and give enough friction. The Wacom One wasn't too slippery for me, but what might make it better is getting a set of the felt nibs for the Wacom One standard pen to add more friction. I always switch to these on my other tablets when possible. estore.wacom.com/en-de/wacom-one-felt-nibs-pack-ack24919z.html

Look into "paperlike" and soft matte screen protectors. Glass is always way too slippery for a lot of pen use.

Hm, it was totally automatic on my system. In tablet settings, must have Windows ink enabled, and be in pen mode, not mouse mode (or whatever the terms are that they use in the tablet settings app). When in doubt, uninstall all tablet drivers, reboot system, reinstall and try again

@@EyekooDrawsStuff thing is, with windows ink enabled, my pen pressure just DOESNT work at all 😓

@@AsIeepo oh, for that you may need to go into the Krita settings. I recall having to specifically change setting for pressure to work the way I want

Yep, if the Second Screen feature doesn't work smoothly, then you can try EasyCanvas

iPad also an option with EasyCanvas. Astropad is better but will cost quite a bit more...worth it if you know you will use a lot

Hi. You can use the pen that is included with the tablet. There is no need to buy a pen separately unless you want a different type of pen. There are some other that are compatible, but the S Pen is great

That's a great question. In this price range from XPPEN, they haven't released anything new. So I'd say you'd still be good with this. The first gen Deco Pro Small is only slightly more expensive than the Deco MW, but you'd lose the improved pen sensitivity from Deco MW

Thank you for commenting. Hope it was helpful

Do you think the small size if fine for notetaking and annotating diagrams, slides, and ebooks or better to get the middle size?

​@@yubinator7455I have small hands and write with small strokes, so it's not an issue for me. I also use my tablet in "mouse mode." It's pretty much unusable in "absolute coordinates mode" in my opinion.

I have no experience with animating so unfortunately, have not tested that on here. But I still would not recommend the FE models for animating. With painting, I know it wouldn't be too difficult to bump into some limitations if I tried to some larger, more serious work. SO my assumption is that it would handle much beyond just very basic animating. It's probably still better to go with a computer for animating, but if you're set on a mobile tablet for that, I reckon you'll have to look at the higher-end models of the Tab S9 series (plus or ultra) or look into the iPad Pro. Benefit of Tab S9 though is the SD card slot for more storage, which you might need for this, and is quite costly to bump up with iPads

To add, maybe check out Brad Colbow's channel as well as he's done some animating and tried on some tablets

​@@EyekooDrawsStuff I have a great custom-built PC at home I use for animating but I get put-off animating on it just because it's a shared computer and it's in our office room. I don't necessarily need to animate heavily on my tablet but I think it would be neat to be able to work on my projects on the go/in my own room, I draw much more than I animate. I'll also use whichever tablet I get for when I start college in January! I'm pretty split between the FE and S9 but I may go with the S9 just for the snapdragon processor and the amoled, especially since I've been able to find it on sale :) Thanks so much for your response! It was very helpful!

@@chardioic I see. Yeah, if budget allows, I suggest going with a non-FE model then. Are you going to be doing animation or art at college as well or more of a personal interest you're pursuing on the side?

@@EyekooDrawsStuff I'm doing art/animating on the side for some extra money! I'll be going to college to get my associate in pharmacy technician. Initally I wanted to do animation full-time but I opted for pharmacy so I could study it at the college(s) here where I live and get a guaranteed job around here quicker :,) But I love art and animation so I'd never give it up fully! 😃

Yeah. Haven't looked at this feature in ages. Wonder if anything has changed since this video XD There was certainly some more potential in ways to use this

Ah good point there about the hand obstructing. I also like to be able to see as much of what I'm working on as possible, so I totally understand this. Screen colour is definitely one of those more tricky things. I'm seeing more tablets coming out recently that have better accuracy now though. Which medium sized pen tablet did you get?

@EyekooDrawsStuff ,my recent drawing tablet was second hand drawing tablet sold by my friend,it's xp brand ,but I planning to buy xp pen deco gen 2 16k pressure with remote control , I don't know if a 16k pressure is same as 8k pressure or it just a marketing gimmick

I'm actually using the Deco Pro Gen 2 right now. It's been great so far. I really don't think the 16k levels of pressure is necessary and generally think this is more of a marketing thing, But the pen is very sensitive (in a good way). The initial activation is the main thing and it responds to very light pressure. I actually find that sometimes, I have to press a little harder than I would like to get darker brush strokes with the default settings, but that's easy to change with the pressure curve in the settings.

@EyekooDrawsStuff ,hi ,did you have issue with deco pro gen 2 till now,? I hesitate to buy cause many user using deco pro gen2 have hovering issue. It's happened when pen in hovering state,aiming at target point, when starting drawing, pen touch the tablet,the drawing target point offset a tiny bit from where we actually wanted, did you have this issue?

@@HamiziShah I haven't noticed this, but I'll be sure to check it tomorrow and get back to you. so far i really like the tablet. I'm also using it with their X3 roller stylus for a little extra functionality.

Oh bummer. I'm not sure why. That might be a wifi connection issue with your computer?

Good question. You have the option to map the tablet to one or multiple monitors

Well I suppose it would depend on your needs, but personally, I'd go for the S, not the XS

@@EyekooDrawsStuff thank you, i've also done watching other review and tmrw I'll order the s one

Hi there. Yeah, some tablets do not have great palm rejection, and it can also vary between apps which might detect and handle it differently. Be sure to check your drawing app for a palm rejection setting. Apart from that, certain drawing gloves can make a BIG difference, but they must have the extra padding along the side of the hand. They are not as common so you do need to look out for this. I found one on Shopee, but also go another included with my XPPEN Magic Drawing Pad. Paperlike has one that looks pretty high-end too. Search palm-rejection glove

@@EyekooDrawsStuff cool, thanks.

Huh?

thats fucking wild to say

@@jagerkruger5180 I know right... I have no idea how to interpret this though and if it's some sort of typo autocorrect😄

hello. it is possible, but maybe go for the S size and not the XS if possible. Then you have more space to move your hand. I think writing on such a small tablet is quite uncomfortable

@@EyekooDrawsStuff thanks a lot
