Touch strip

A touch-sensitive surface, usually located along one of the edges of the front panel of the tablet case. The touch strip provides additional controls such as scrolling, zooming, canvas rotation, and other gestures that can be customized to perform different tasks. Thus, the strip can often be reprogrammed for certain actions, be it quickly switching between tools in a graphic editor or changing brush parameters.

Tilt / height adjustments

The presence in the kit of a special stand that allows you to change the height of the installation and/or the angle of inclination of the installed tablet. Such a stand makes using the device more convenient: it can be raised above a tabletop that is too low, set at an angle that is most comfortable for the hand, etc.

Contrast

The contrast of the screen set in the graphic display (see "Type").

This setting describes the brightness ratio between the brightest white and darkest black that the screen is capable of reproducing. The larger the first number, the higher the contrast and the better the image as a whole. However note that the contrast ratio of modern graphic displays usually ranges from 400:1 to 3000:1 — this is generally noticeably lower than that of computer monitors, especially professional ones. So the final control of the result is still best done on the monitor. On the other hand, if you are going to work professionally with graphics on a tablet display, it makes sense to look for a model with high contrast.

Colour gamut (NTSC)

The range of colors that can be displayed on a graphics tablet screen. The parameter is indicated as a percentage relative to the coverage of the NTSC color space. The larger the color gamut, the wider the capabilities of the screen and the better the quality of its color rendition, which is extremely important when working with graphic materials.

NTSC is one of the first color models, launched in 1953 for color television. And it is still used to describe and compare matrices. The NTSC model covers a larger range of colors than the standard sRGB used in computer technology, so even a relatively small number of percentages corresponds to a fairly wide coverage. For example, a value of 72% or more according to NTSC is considered a decent indicator for use in design and graphics.

Colour space (Rec. 709 / sRGB)

The range of colors that can be displayed on a graphics tablet screen. The parameter is indicated as a percentage relative to the coverage of the Rec.709 or sRGB color space. The larger the color gamut, the wider the capabilities of the screen and the better the quality of its color rendition, which is extremely important when working with graphic materials.

Rec.709 and sRGB are the most popular modern color models: they have the same range and differ only in the area of application. So, sRGB is used in computers, and Rec. 709 - in HD television. In terms of the range of colors, these spaces are identical and the percentage of coverage for them is the same. In the screens of graphics tablets, the color gamut for the specified models can reach and even exceed 100% - these are the values that are considered necessary for correct work with graphic materials.

Colour gamut (Adobe RGB)

The range of colors that can be displayed on a graphics tablet screen. The parameter is indicated as a percentage relative to the coverage of the Adobe RGB color space. The larger the color gamut, the wider the capabilities of the screen and the better the quality of its color rendition, which is extremely important when working with graphic materials.

Adobe RGB was originally developed for use in printing and printing. Accordingly, support for this model and its wide color gamut are important in cases where a graphics tablet is used in the design and layout of high-quality printed products. It is important to take into account that Adobe RGB is wider than the popular sRGB model, and its percentage figures are smaller: for example, 99% of sRGB coverage is usually about 87% of Adobe RGB.

Pen model

The model of the pen that comes with the device. Allows you to understand which one is used and learn more fully its full characteristics. In this case, in the case of a replacement, you will already be aware of which accessory is needed for the purchase. However, nothing prevents you from replacing the existing one with a more advanced one, of course, if the graphics tablet itself allows you to work with a different pen model.

Max. reading height

The height within which pen movements above the working surface are recorded by the tablet electronics even in the absence of direct contact.

Many tablets allow you to work in a "non-contact" way — without directly touching the stylus to the work surface. Thanks to this, it is possible, for example, with a raised pen to bring the cursor in the graphics editor to the desired point and turn on the drawing mode by touching the tablet with the stylus. And the greater the maximum reading height, the more convenient it is to use this mode, the less demanding the tablet is for the accuracy of movements. In many modern models, this parameter exceeds 10 mm.

Response

A characteristic of a graphics tablet that determines how many times per second the tablet records the artist’s actions. The response rate is expressed in PPS (Points Per Second).

The higher the PPS value, the more responsive the surface is. If responsiveness is low, there is a possibility of getting jagged lines when working with the pen, and the stylus cursor may lag behind the movement of your hand. Devices with a response of 266 PPS or more perform best, the “golden mean” is the range of values 230 – 233 PPS and 250 – 260 PPS, and in entry-level models the response can be 220 PPS or less.
