I could not get Gimp 2.8 to work on Windows.
#UGEE DRIVER INSTALL HELP PRO#
Paint Tool Sai delivered really smooth lines.īut in Sketchbook Pro in Windows, there was some lag.
The pressure sensitivity and overall drawing experience were great in Photoshop and Paint Tool Sai.
#UGEE DRIVER INSTALL HELP WINDOWS#
On Windows 10, I tried out Photoshop CC, Gimp, Paint Tool Sai, and Sketchbook Pro. Pressure works with vector layers in Manga Studio, so vector painting is not a lost cause. Pressure and everything else worked great in all of them.Īs expected, Illustrator and Inkscape did not get pressure, as expected (because only Wacom’s do), but you can still use these programs.
#UGEE DRIVER INSTALL HELP MAC#
On Mac El Capitan, I tried Photoshop CC, Illustrator, Krita, Gimp 2.8, Manga Studio/Clip Studio Paint, Rebelle, Sketchbook Pro, and Sculptris, which uses ZBrush. There’s some parallax because of the distance from the pen tip to the glass, as is often the case with drawing tablet monitors. I ended up leaving it set to needing less pressure rather than dialing it to the right. The driver is responsive and springy, going from a very thin line to a very thick one without blobbing. Here’s a pen demo I did of me sketching in Photoshop using the Ugee driver on Windows 10. It says “Ugee” on it.Ĭalibration, which is 5 points with the Ugee driver, worked out of the box. It weighs 17 grams, a good weight, and is comfortable to hold. It charges via USB and has a blue charging indicator. The pen doesn’t have a grip or indentation. The Ugee is VESA-compatible if you want to use a mounting arm. It’s steady, and you lock and unlock it via a small lever. The stand goes almost all the way down, to about 15 degrees, and almost all the way up to 90 degrees. It went on very easily, did not bubble, and was a nice matte surface good for drawing. The one that came with this says 3M on it. I am updating this today because I realized the screen protector that I had said bubbled was not the one that came with it. There’s some squeaking from some pen strokes, but someone gave me a fix that worked! SQUEAKY SCREEN FIX: Rub your hands all over the screen, then wipe it off with a cleaning cloth–wipe gently, not too hard. The glass is pretty smooth and a little slippery. ScreenĬolors are bright and clear, and matched my computer’s with a little adjustment to the brightness. The ports have held everything well, but be careful about bumping into the monitor. They’re reasonably easy to get to, though the stand gets in the way some. The ports are in the back, under the stand. The pen has two programmable buttons that can be mapped to mouse keys and eraser. There aren’t any Express Keys on the monitor, nor any on-screen ones. This way, you don’t end up with lines suddenly hitting the edge of the bezel. The bezel is completely flat, so you can bring your pen all the way to the edge, which is a nice touch. The Ugee 2150 drawing tablet monitor is made of sturdy black plastic with a narrow bezel. The included items are individually wrapped and come in a smaller box. The packaging protects the contents well, and the inner cardboard box has a handle. OverviewĪs with the Ugee 1910B, the Ugee 2150’s box doesn’t have any printing on it, it’s plain cardboard. Since there are no Express Keys, there’s no issue about which side they’re on. Some controls are on the bottom right, but they aren’t ones you need to access often. Pen stand/holder containing 8 extra nibs and ring nib removerĪ big tablet monitor is not something you want to carry around at about 14 lbs., but since the box has a handle, you can take it places if you really want to. Ugee is based in Shenzhen, China. They make pen tablets such as the 1910B, 2150, and HK1560 pen-display tablets as well as graphics tablets. Ugee was kind enough to send me a unit to test for a few weeks for this Ugee 2150 review. Now we’re going to examine the Ugee 2150, a 22″ version that has a higher resolution display than the 1910B. Previously, we took an-depth look at the Ugee 1910B, a budget tablet monitor similar to a Cintiq.
