Monoprice could save Windows users hours of frustration by publishing a bright red warning label with the following instructions contained on page 4 of the manual: “Important! Do not plug the monitor into your PC until after you have installed the driver software.” You’ll also need to be careful about how the cables are threaded out of the back as they tend to interfere with the monitor’s stand. You’ll have to hold the display upside down to attach either the included VGA or optional DVI cable as well as the USB cable for pen input.
Unfortunately, it all goes downhill from there.Ĭable connections are in the lower back of the monitor and face downward. Packaging is professional, industrial design is very nice, build quality is excellent and the rubberized stylus has a nice size and feel. And boy, does the Monoprice Interactive Pen Display need it!Īs I wrote in my unboxing, this tablet monitor makes a very good first impression given its low price. Neither the Monoprice nor Huion archives contain Windows 8.x-specific drivers, so it doesn’t appear that any software development is occurring on the Windows side. However, except for the English language product manual, the other files in the. The Huion archive was updated in December, so I am currently running that driver version.
I am not 100% certain that the drivers are identical, but except for logos, the drivers’ control panels are exactly the same. The Monoprice’s drivers appear to be rebadged Huion drivers for its GT-190 tablet display. Unfortunately, the only driver download available from Monoprice dates back to October and the product manager with whom I’ve corresponded hasn’t been able to confirm whether any updates are even in the pipeline. I’ve been meaning to post this follow up review ever since, but I’ve kept checking the Monoprice and Huion sites weekly hoping for signs of a new set of Windows drivers that could vastly improve this device. It’s been almost two months since I first received my 19-inch Monoprice Interactive Pen Display and reported how very disappointed I was in the $389 tablet monitor.
