Thanks!


A friend of mine in Germany uses his Intuos2 Platinum 6x8 (same as mine) with his dual monitors. He has no problems. :)

I use dual monitors, a 19" and a 20" wide screen , both LCDs. I have not problem with the 6x8, my only problem is trying to learn how to really use it. I'm so comforatable with the mouse after all these years, the 6x8 is not real easy to learn. I believe a 4x5 would be adequate at this level of use.

I am only using one screen but the 4X5 is very much large enough. I never use the whole surface.

So you think the 6x8 or 4x5 would be adequate for a dual screen set-up? I'm a photographer and graphic designer and it seems that if I had too small of a surface area that the smallest movements would be large movements on the screen.

Thanks for the replies!!

For me the 6x8 is more than adequate. You have to move your entire hand and cannot just rest it on the edge if you are using 2 monitors or even a large one. I have not used the 4x5 but I think it would have worked well. I seem to always over buy and that way I'm not dissapointed as often. Just like big trucks, I drive the biggest Ford F-350 4x4 long bed crew cab diesel and not the little Toyota trucks anymore. Big is better .... size does matter doesn't it? Remeber the guy who dies with the most toys wins!

for widescreen you want the new wide wacom..

in order to get the right tablet to screen ratio on a standard wacom, you'll have to edit the wacom settings to cut a portion of your tablet off..

Yeah... I just saw an ad for the 6x11 and 12x19 today. Well, that's going on the 'need to purchase' list along with a tripod, and Canon EF 70-200 f2.8 USM IS.

Hmm, that small business loan is looking better and better.
