Description
So this is where I do all my art stuff. As you can see I’m fond of natural wood and listening to music loudly. 
I work on a Wacom Cintiq 21UX (2. gen) mounted on an Ergotron monitor arm, which I’ve found far more flexible than the original Wacom stand. It’s also easier to push the display out of the way when you need extra room on your desk.
Few days ago I’ve made the decision I’m gonna sell the Cintiq, because I’m not very happy with the screen brightness adjustment possibilities. When I work with it at night, screen fully dimmed, having about 3 lights on, my eyes are burning awfully. :’( Did any of you have this problem?
Anyway, I’m waiting unpatiently for my new toy to arrive. It’s gonna be hard to say goodbye to my good old Cintiq pal after so many years of joy of working on it, but I know the new pen display will be a bit more advanced and I really hope my eyes will be happier.
What kind of digital device are you guys working on? What are your experiences?

What a nice art corner! So much natural lighting!
All I have are my lap or dining table, my 4th gen iPad (for music), a sketchbook, and a pencil. However, I want a digital device but don't know where to start.

Maybe get an iPad 2018 +pencil? They are awesome and there are so many great free art apps to it!

You're very welcome. 😊
Hard choice? Why? You can't decide which model to get?

Ah no. I want a cintiq 13-inch HD, found one for half the price.
But it's still alot of money for a poor fool. so thats why it becomes a hard choice, for me.

Oh, I see. Yes, I know. 
Did you think of buying any alternatives instead of Wacom? There are so many good brands around with a bigger screen, better value? Like Huion or XP-Pen?

A bigger screen would be fun but want to make sure I use it as much as I imagien.
And the half price are around the cheaper brand prices too. So be a good starting choice~
But your right, it's horribly pricey when the market is poor artists. Thanks for the input

You have a really nice setup. 
Right now, I'm using a Huion tablet monitor. To be specific it's called the Huion Kamvas GT-156hd. This is my first ever tablet monitor. I've never used anything other than Wacom so I was nervous to try it at first, but I decided to go for it. It was easy to install. I had to adjust the screen resolution so the colors looked just right, but I really love using it!

Thank you! 😊
I've heard so many good things of these brands, I thought I'd give them a chance, especially since their prices are much more reasonable than Wacom's.
I've made my decision by an xp-pen artist 22e pro, because I got used to working on 21" screen, and I wanted to have the hot keys too, but Huion's version was a bit too pricey...
I hope I won't be disappointed either!
Thanks for sharing your experience.
