A little while back I received and reviewed a drawing tablet from Veikk. To say the Voila L by Veikk <\/a>changed my art is an understatement. It is just so good to use. So when the lovely people at Veikk offered me a Pen and Display to try I immediately said yes. So let\u2019s take a look at the Studio VK1200<\/a>.<\/p>\n Note: Veikk sent the tablet to review. However, this is a completely independent review. All thoughts about this item are our own.<\/em><\/p>\n One of the biggest problems people seem to have with a drawing tablet is hand-eye coordination. Using a display tablet that allows you to draw directly onto the tablet can overcome this. Personally, I didn\u2019t have a problem with that and found myself constantly looking at my monitor anyway. <\/p>\n All of the technical specifications for the Studio VK1200 are from the Veikk website.<\/p>\n Ergonomics are pretty good. It\u2019s light and comfortable to work with. Nice, fluid smooth matte surface area and pen connection. Adjustable pressure sensitivity.<\/p>\n The tablet feels solid in the hand, although it is pretty light, making it quite transportable. The stylus is also lightweight, solid and has a non-slip matte surface. Feels comfortable in the hand.<\/p>\n Out of the box, there are no batteries or anything, connect via the supplied USB-C & HDMI cable and the pen worked straight away (it comes with two pens and a pen holder). As mentioned above I had to get a Display Port to HDMI Adapter to plug the Mini HDMI into my graphics card to get the display working. In the Download section,<\/a> there is a link for the User manual, this manual is quite good and once I shut down Lightroom and Photoshop the drivers were installed quickly and easily. A quick Restart and the Veikk software allowed me to program the pen and tablet with ease. <\/p>\n Two pens are supplied, a pen holder, 20 extra nibs, a nib extractor, a cleaning cloth and a handy drawing glove.<\/p>\n The other issue I had, which took a little fiddling around with is the display setup, as I already have two monitors connected. I had to go into Display (right-click on the Windows screen) and go to Settings. I needed to add a third screen and then duplicate my first screen onto the display or third screen). Not overly complicated, but it is something to be aware of. This would be much easier if I only had one screen (like on a laptop).<\/p>\n You can program the buttons to whatever function you wish ie; Grab\/Move, zoom in and out, increase\/decrease the brush size. You can even program the buttons on the stylus.<\/p>\n Refreshingly no batteries are required at all. No charging!<\/p>\n You simply connect the pen tablet to your computer with the included USB-C cable, and HDMI Cable (a display adapter may be required \u2014 not included).<\/p>\n Once I programmed my pen and tablet, it was super intuitive to use. The pen feels comfortable and the matte surface feels terrific to work with, it is dreamy and so nice for painting especially. Very precise.<\/p>\n Tip<\/em><\/strong>: Use some reusable tape and write what you have programmed the buttons for and stick on the buttons or attach a sticky note to your PC until you remember them all.<\/p>\n The Studio is surprisingly good for only $149.95. Once installed and set up, it is super easy to use. Has nice solid fluid movement and details. The buttons are great, my biggest problem was the size. While it is brilliant to work on I found it was too small to read the text in Photoshop. I can increase the size of the image I am working on but not my Photoshop screen. I actually found if I turned the display feature off and used it as a basic drawing tablet and looked at my monitor it was better. <\/p>\n If you are a serious digital artist I would suggest looking at the 22\u2033 version I would think as a display this might be a better option. However IF you are looking at something small and compact and travel-friendly then the VK1200 (11.6\u2033 to be precise) may be the best option for you, available via Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\nPros<\/strong><\/h2>\n
