About one month experience with my Artist pro 27

Hey guys so I started wfh this March. My old pen display was pretty much dying, so I got an Artist pro 27 as a fixed setup at home. I mainly draw, and just started exploring 3D modeling this year. I've been using it for a little over a month now and overall it's pretty good. Just want to share some things it stood out🙂

Display: Okay the screen size did throw me off at first. Tbh my hand movement range got a lot bigger and I just felt the lines I drew not that smooth in the beginning lol. Anyway, now it's been over a month, the colors feel pretty accurate, and I like that the display is really sharp. I usually zoom in on details, like even tiny hair strands won't get super muddy.

Pen: The screen has a kind of matte finish, and it's pretty smooth to draw on it. It comes with two pens and I mostly use the thicker one. Love that parallax is pretty minimal, and the pressure response feel good when drawing. Sometimes I need to rush to finish something before deadlines and it doesn't skip or anything.

Touch: Honestly I wasn't expecting to use touch much but it's grown on me. I use pinch to zoom a lot especially in ZBrush when I'm picking at small details, it just way faster than reaching for shortcuts. Pan and rotate work fine too.

Others: Fan is basically silent which I appreciated. And now I keep it connected and charged all day long, it would be a little bit warm after a few hours of use but I feel like it wouldn't bother me working.

Didn't find much review here so I just want to share my experience with it. Overall I love it so far. Happy to answer any questions!

Hey, so I've had this chair for about 2 months now. The whole experience's been great. Thought I'd share my experience of the omni and my old office chair.

You can probably tell just from the pics, but that office chair is really hard. I can literally feel it digging into that spot where my thighs meet my hips. Not sure what that bone's called, but it's not comfortable.

That office chair was getting so bad, I started looking into getting a better chair for my own health. Spent quite a bit of time comparing online, and eventually decided to go with the omni 'cause the way people describle it really got me interested.

I've sat in the Omni for 2 months and already felt the difference. The seat and back both feel way better, and there's zero bottoming out. That was actually my biggest concern going in, since I didn't want it ending up like the office chair. So far, no issue at all. Really hoping it stays that way.

There's also a lot more adjustability. Armrest, lumbar, headrest, pretty much everything. Took me a bit to dial it all in, but after playing around with the setting for a while, it feels great now.
