Not sure if there are many users of Wacom's/Graphics tablets here but I've been considering buying a 19" or larger Cintiq for a while, I currently use a Wacom Intuos Pro M and it is the best tablet I have owned but I always have that feeling that for certain applications having a screen on the tablet would be a pretty big advantage especially when it comes to Zbrush and 2D work.

Anyone tried the Huion brand monitor tablets? the price seems to good to be true but I'm willing to compromise on some of the quality to see if it improves my workflow any.

I haven't tried any myself, but have a look at Brad Colbow's site and YouTube channel, he's reviewed a lot of Wacom, Huion and XP Pen tablets, as well as iPads/Surfaces/2 in 1s etc. Huion and XP Pen are the main two alternative brands.

My daughters use convertable PCs.

We have a lenovo miix 720 and an hp elite x2 both with the active pen 2 stylus with 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity. I'm not sure if they do angle detection ? II bought both laptops used and they were as new with mfr warranty and picked up for under £400 each on ebay.

Given the cost of the cintiq it must be worth looking at stuff like that or surface pro, ipad pro and the normal ipad from 2019 which also supports the apple pencil.
