ASUS PA169CDV Display Tablet - A Pro Artist's Review

[@OLIVER_ARTS]

bro i checked the price thinking it would a good price but 1k for it ............ I'm dead

[@jovi9918]

Lmfao just buy an iPad pro at that point

[@OLIVER_ARTS]

@@jovi9918 or a xp pen screen tablet ($200-$300)with a decent laptop($800-$700) boom finished

[@SamIRIZARRY84]

I’m saying! Shoulda started with that save me some time 😂

[@OLIVER_ARTS]

@@Lms800 fair enough but i would pick samsung s9 ultra that just my opinion but definitely the asus pad the one from the video is not worth it by million miles and also funny thing is that that price is too much for a 16 inch screen am i wrong cuz i see for that price(1k) screen that are bigger than 24 inches but yeah talk about it inches lol and price

[@yeoldegrayCat]

seriously I came here expecting way more from asus. I currently use ipad pro for when I want to draw on a screen and a small intuos for drawing on pc, I think I'll continue with this setup

[@thecoffeesloth]

Your voice is giving me film voiceover guy 😊

[@Snotnarok]

Nice to see Wacom getting more competition. They've relied on the patent they had for batteryless pens for ages and now that's over they've really just not been doing much vs other pen displays to compete. A lot of artists starting out even today are like "Oh I need a wacom" but honestly a lot of the competition from Huion/XP-Pen/Apple's ipad and now Asus apparently- most artists should be avoiding wacom as the cost to benefit isn't worth it. That and I've seen a lot of other artists I follow on twitter with similar defects that wacom refuses to help with.

[@elpituyt]

not paying $900 for a 60hz 10ms display in 2024, expected more from asus.

[@DariaPonomarenkoArt]

yeah, price shocked me too. Also, that 4000 pressure levels, when xp pen already have 16000.. Lol It's not proffesional tablet at all. I don't know for who this tablet is

[@okutaviof]

plus HDR @30hz

[@ToddDolce]

Thanks for the review on that ASUS! Hope you are enjoying your Sennheiser MKH416 mic too! It's a great sounding mic.

Same, good luck on your journey

Great review! Looking forward to the course.

[@mithos56]

That lag you mentioned is 100% windows. Its Windows Ink. In windows 10, its fairly easy to disable, but in windows 11, depending on your tablet, its gonna require a registry edit. I just bought this tablet (definitely not at full price, i got it for a little under 700.) I had that lag until I got windows Ink disabled.

[@joechapman8208]

For that price, I'm surprised it has those problems and doesn't feature a better panel technology. Also disappointing to see them touting it as "HDR 400" on an IPS panel, when an IPS can't do HDR 400 at all so that's always a sign of dishonesty in a monitor manufacturer (and both ASUS and ProArt have too much pedigree in their markets to be playing like that). I love that character you were drawing: great face!

[@okutaviof]

I wanted some comments on the HDR ... Thank you.

[@DroidzART89]

Be buying this instead of the wacom cintiq 16 pro..

[@kheadstudios2508]

Metapen Stylus Pen M2 for Surface (Premium, 4096 Finest Control, Eraser End) - Work for Surface Pro 7//8/9/X,Surface Go 3/Book 3/Laptop 4/Studio 2, ASUS VivoBook Flip 14, for Creators,Students,Doers

[@kipporah]

Thanks, that helps me out a lot.

[@Mp_995]

Thing is the new cintiq pro 17 is not mobile at all… it needs a power supply to work. While this one is portable and versatile

[@ipaintu]

Looks like a fun tablet to draw on

[@timeeater2007]

Love at first glance, just what I'm looking for. . . . .buut, that's a bit too high of a price, even for someone who have been drawing almost every single day in their life. Defelutley gonna remeber it tough.

[@Maks-vo3uo]

Why use a tablet when there is a Flow Z13 model? make the Z13 a stylus and a WACOM screen (so that you don't have to charge the stylus). A very cool solution for the Z13 tablet with an aluminum case with the ability to put the screen in landscape view, it's a pity that this exists only in the expensive version, make a regular version with such a possibility. Second and very important, make the Bluetooth keyboard connected and the ability to turn on the backlight. For many programs on Windows, you still need a keyboard when using hotkeys (Photoshop will not get rid of this in any way). And using the keyboard in front of the screen on which you draw is not very convenient, it is convenient to place the keyboard either on the side or behind the screen as in the HP ZBOOK G2 tablet. To make such a tablet and produce it en masse, taking over the apple market, which sells tablets, laptops and PCs separately. You have two in one. and you can use professional 3d programs and games. The manufacturer has different configurations as you are producing now and so that you can increase the memory by changing from adding an SSD, you need to be able to put a lot of memory.

[@marcussassi8054]

Thank you for an amazing review, I dont draw but I do read alot of news articles and need a device that I can mark text, take notes and write comments on. Can this device be helpful?

[@KevinPencilDraw]

Pretty cool review! 🙏 And I don’t recommend this, but out of curiosity what if someone were to erase windows and install Linux on it. Will that ruin the experience when creating artwork completely, or will it just prevent alot of problems windows has, or will it improve overall?

[@OverH19]

This is just a display tablet with pen support, not a PC tablet.

[@shadowsketch926]

from what i've researched a couple of years ago, linux didn't do well with drawing programs sadly enough. i wanted to swap OS myself due to not liking MS's decisions with their OS, but it seems that setting up virtual stuff from linux to have a small windows part running for drawing programs creates massive lag time between the tablet driver and the program mind you, this is information from a few years ago, so you might have to do a bit of a deeper dive yourself to figure out whether it works nowadays

[@AaAa-je5eo]

So er....'Rebirth', what was that all about? No explanations yet? 😅

[@ChantelleArts]

such a fantastic review ☺☺☺

[@lindarussell9781]

I find that I could go with or without the pen button. Either is fine. I prefer a round pen. Did the sides of the ASUS pen hurt your fingers or annoy you at all?

[@ergojosh]

Not at all! only the button was annoying

[@Cagrippa]

GREAT REVIEW LOOKING FORWARD TO THE COURSE......WHY WOULD I SPEND THAT MUCH MONEY FOR A PIGGYBACK DEVICE.....THESE COMPANIES DONT KNOW WHAT PEOPLE WANT. WE WANT STANDALONE PORTABILITY. THE IPAD IS KING. ATLEAST TRY TO RIVAL THE IPAD. WE ARE NOT ALL PROFESSIONALS WHO SIT AND DRAW FOR A LIVING. SOME OF US WANT TO DRAW WHILE ON LUNCH AT OUR REGULAR JOBS OR OUT AND ABOUT.

[@TheWanderer1111]

Wondering when your Procreate course will be in stock again ?

[@ergojosh]

Always in stock on my website from now on!

[@Maks-vo3uo]

In general, there is no sense in such tablets at all now. You buy an iPad or Samsung tablet with a stylus, and using Space Disk programs or analogs of such programs, connect the tablet to the computer via a tupC wire and draw like a computer in Photoshop or do sculpting in a blender. When you need a graphic tablet, when you need a mobile tablet.

[@coffee.muggle]

Ok... Why would I buy this underwhelming device over an iPad at this price???

[@ishtarxdd]

Dude its absolutely insane, you can get the same thing +laminated +cable isnt near the shortcut buttons for like €300

[@JavierPhotoMX]

I have a decision in front of me, help me to decide. Surface studio or this ??

[@kavingovender7943]

this one has too much lag.

[@thefacesoftaitan]

Ergo is Back! What happened to your voice though?

[@readdaily5680]

asus will charge you to ship their faulty equipment to them for warranty repair and send the malfunctioned item back and tell you nothing is wrong with it.

[@idabss2710]

keep it up!

[@catoftruth1044]

wow interesting

[@prntm926]

Who in their right f'in mind at asus decide to put the cable ports on where the dials are/where your left hand usually resting on the table? what a stupid design, just looking at it gives me carpal tunnel syndrome. nice.

[@PaulEnoch]

did you change mics???

[@matthewkeating-od6rl]

Pencil extender?

[@achasonc]

*Giggling at the 5 minute mark, when you're posing.

[@orangeofmars2835]

Not being able to use it as an extended monitor is a 100% deal breaker for me.

[@some_vagrant]

Glad you said this, figured it would be

[@TheRustyRebel]

Where does it say you can’t use it as extended monitor? It’s a portable monitor which means it should be able to used as one or it defeats the point of having it.

[@rico77yt]

Ugh, no Mac support. Would've been an insta buy otherwise.. Come on ASUS.

[@Jj82op]

More often then not, it's Apple that makes integration difficult

[@rico77yt]

@@Jj82op yeah, you're probably right.

[@Luna-gm5eq]

its prob saving you anyways. there are way cheaper 16in tablets u can get from huion and xp pen that offer the same features as this tablet which is 900 dollars...

[@netvisionz]

@@Jj82opThere are too many Apple-supported display tablets on the market for that to be true. It's ok to not like Apple, but don't make stuff up.

[@Despolitizado]

prefiro uma mesa digitalizadora tradicional da wacom 👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊👊

[@Pachupp85]

cool device but to expensive

[@maksymrockatansky]

Nice, it costs 1600 USD in Ukraine. Gotta think twice before really buying it…😢

[@ishtarxdd]

€900 for a 16 inch 60Hz non laminated tablet?? Wacom is really taking their own part from this huh

[@Uterr]

Well, looks laggy in your video, like cursor lagging behind a pen.

[@brushrunner]

Wo much lag

[@whimzycloud]

The proper pronunciation is as us

[@WajidAli-nk4lx]

Waste of 900$

[@brig8683]

Why casually mention the $900 price tag at the end? I hate when reviews do shit like that.

[@CantonWhy]

Ergo seems pretty well-off, he might not consider the price so important. It's best to mention that near the start of the video -- but also, it might be for watch time. If you hear that price tag you might just click off. Maybe I'm being cynical.

[@WhyAllTheGoodNamesTaken]

He said the price 4:07.

[@ericsart6474]

Well, you do get to sell the tablet after. So, yes, it is paid
