monoprice lcd touch screen monitor driver quotation

Monitor came with the stand mounted upside down. The "IIIP" logo should be on the bottom of the monitor. It was very easy to unscrew the stand with a generic Philips screwdriver and flop it around. Build quality is solid.

The monitor has a ?tooth? laminate to replicate the feel of paper on the screen. There was some air bubbles around the edge of the monitor where the monitor glass meets the plastic surround, which were aesthetically disappointing but did not affect the drawing surface. The tooth laminate is very comfortable to drawn on.

Install was easy although Windows 10 cried about the drivers harming my rig. Windows 10 cries about everything. The included HDMI cable is very cheap and I used one of my own 10ft nicer ones. The USB cable was acceptable.

The new software/drivers (MP monitor is a rebranded Bosto) are only available on Monoprice. BE SURE to save drivers on a flash drive, CD or somewhere else than depending on MP to keep driver available forever when you need a new install. The Bosto website does have newer drivers for their newer monitors. I tried them and they worked (but didn?t solve any setup problems I was having).

The Creator22 drivers do not have the settings to be able to adjust tablet area mapping and it causes a problem with multiple monitors **See setup notes** Sensitivity levels and hotkey mapping work well. The drivers also added the Creator22 as an audio device called ?Bosto? and Windows defaulted to the Bosto in my sound settings. I had to go into sound settings and disable it to get my normal speakers back.

I have some high-end regular monitors and I cannot get the MPCreator22 to match. The blacks just aren"t black enough nor the colors as rich. You can tweak the GPM with your graphics card a little more but it?s not going to get there. However if you don?t do a lot of subtle color work it?s fine. Or, use the ?duplicate display? in Windows to have a reference monitor with good color to look at and check your work.

Overall: for a dirt-cheap graphic pen display I am very happy. I was going to shell out $800 for a Huion but cheapness got the better of me and after a lot of cussing with settings and programs it works great. Please be aware that I am not a technical person. I still thought Photoshop6 (PS6) was a new program (ha, 2012). I am not ?with it? and if I just wasn?t BONE HEADED STUBBORN about having multiple monitors to use with the Creator22 (1 reference monitor, 1 watch tv monitor and the Creator22 to draw on) it would have worked just dandy out of the box with ONE monitor and ?duplicate displays?.

*Notes about monitor settings/setup: I have two monitors plus this graphic display. To get it to work on Windows with multiple monitors I had to set the Creator 22 as the "Main" display in the Windows 10 "Display Settings" in addition to having the Graphic Pen Monitor selected correctly in the unit"s software otherwise the pen would keep trying to draw on the main monitor instead of the Graphic Pen Monitor. I also had to have ?Windows Ink? enabled on the driver software.

Getting it to work with your drawing software with multiple monitors is also another issue. I initially tried to get the Creator22 to work with PS6. It will work with PS6 but ONLY if you have the Creator22 set as the main display and it is the sole monitor or your second monitor is set to ?duplicate display? in Windows. PS6 has an offset issue with the pen and the PS6 software doesn?t have updates/drivers/options to correct the issue.

**The Creator22 drivers do not have the settings to be able to adjust tablet area mapping it has to be done in whatever drawing program you?re using**

The Creator22 works perfectly with Krita 5.0.2 and multiple monitors AFTER settings adjustment. In Krita, goto ?Configure Krita>Advanced Tablet Setting, click to ?map custom area? and set to width: 1920 height: 1080 x offset: 0, Y offset: 0

I messaged staff with "I purchased the Monoprice Zero-G 1440p Ultrawide gaming monitor and have been testing it out the last few days. Looking through the settings, there is one called "Response Time" with the selectable options of "Off", "High", "Middle", and "Low". What do each of these options correspond to? Does "High" mean a High response time, or does it mean that the "decrease response time" setting is turned up to its highest option? The specs mention a response time of "8ms (4ms OD)", so which setting should I use for the 4ms response time? Or is this something that only applies to the previous model that allowed you to modify the "Overdrive" settings?"

I recently purchased the FlashForge Creator 3 (which does have dual independent extruders) at a cost of $3250. The Voxel is actually manufactured by FlashForge for Monoprice and the quality of both the Voxel and Creator 3 are comparable.

It’s been almost two months since I first received my 19-inch Monoprice Interactive Pen Display and reported how very disappointed I was in the $389 tablet monitor.

I’ve been meaning to post this follow up review ever since, but I’ve kept checking the Monoprice and Huion sites weekly hoping for signs of a new set of Windows drivers that could vastly improve this device. Unfortunately, the only driver download available from Monoprice dates back to October and the product manager with whom I’ve corresponded hasn’t been able to confirm whether any updates are even in the pipeline.

The Monoprice’s drivers appear to be rebadged Huion drivers for its GT-190 tablet display. I am not 100% certain that the drivers are identical, but except for logos, the drivers’ control panels are exactly the same. The Huion archive was updated in December, so I am currently running that driver version. However, except for the English language product manual, the other files in the .zip are dated 2012 and earlier.

Neither the Monoprice nor Huion archives contain Windows 8.x-specific drivers, so it doesn’t appear that any software development is occurring on the Windows side. And boy, does the Monoprice Interactive Pen Display need it!

As I wrote in my unboxing, this tablet monitor makes a very good first impression given its low price. Packaging is professional, industrial design is very nice, build quality is excellent and the rubberized stylus has a nice size and feel.

Cable connections are in the lower back of the monitor and face downward. You’ll have to hold the display upside down to attach either the included VGA or optional DVI cable as well as the USB cable for pen input. You’ll also need to be careful about how the cables are threaded out of the back as they tend to interfere with the monitor’s stand.

Monoprice could save Windows users hours of frustration by publishing a bright red warning label with the following instructions contained on page 4 of the manual: “Important! Do not plug the monitor into your PC until after you have installed the driver software.”

They should also highlight this critical bit of information from page 6: (Following driver installation) “Unplug all other monitor connections from your PC.”

And last, but not least, from page 8: (After setting the display resolution), plug in the included USB cable. “Windows will then finalize the installation of the monitor and its driver.”

So to summarize: the pen display won’t work in multi-monitor mode in Windows. Install the drivers first. Unplug your current monitor and plug in the Monoprice. Start up your system and set the resolution. 1440 x 900 is maximum, but don’t be surprised if your video card doesn’t support those dimensions (a couple of the machines I tested didn’t but the display worked ok in a lower res). Lastly, connect the USB cable from the display to your pc. The pen drivers should install automatically. I don’t recall if it’s required, but to be safe you’ll want to reboot your pc after the pen driver installation.

By default, the pen drivers will display an icon in your system tray. Left clicking on the icon will load up the control panel. You can also access the control panel directly under Control Panel\Tablet Setting.

Don’t be surprised if your system doesn’t seem to respond to your pen’s taps. Using the Monoprice drivers, default clicking sensitivity was set too low. No matter how hard I pounded with the pen, I couldn’t get clicks to register. (You’ll want to keep a mouse handy in case this happens to you). Changing the click pressure setting in the control panel corrected this issue. With the Huion driver I’m currently using I didn’t experience the problem, though I still had to set click sensitivity all the way to Heavy in order to get maximum range of pressure.

I also discovered the default direction and steps of the rotary encoder were kind of wonky. You can still get around but it doesn"t exactly behave as you"d expect with respect to direction. For the LCD that I bought I needed to change the direction of the encoder and the menu to get things to move in a logical direction. I also added individual axis homing.uncomment #define REVERSE_ENCODER_DIRECTION

Lastly I printed the parts for this LCD Cover http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2133588 and moved the LCD into the machine. The pints on the bottom of the new controller didn"t fit the pins of the Monoprice controller so I found some bushings to attach to the bottom of the Arduino Mega to keep the pins off the metal plate and found a enough space to put everything in and re-attach the bottom plate.

Pitted against the non-Wacom tablets we tested, the Intuos offered more control, and we experienced no driver issues or input lag. Although some other tablets claim to offer two times as much pressure sensitivity—8,192 levels versus 4,096 on the Intuos—in practice we were better able to control line weights and thickness with the Wacom tablets. We found it easier to create consistently faint, medium, or dark lines (and to go from one extreme to the other) by varying the pressure we put on the pen.

The Intuos lets you customize the pen and tablet to a much greater extent than tested tablets from other brands. In addition to giving you access to support and driver updates, Wacom’s Desktop Center software allows you to customize, back up, and restore tablet and pen functions. In the pen settings, for example, you can set the tip feel or pressure sensitivity. This is like choosing between a soft 2B pencil, which leaves a lot of graphite on the page, and a harder 2H pencil, which leaves lighter, cleaner lines and requires more force to make a mark. You can also adjust the pen’s double-click distance or how far away the pen can be before it registers with the tablet. On other tablets, you can often program pen sensitivity but not the more subtle tip feel.
