![]() ![]() Possible solution: The pen’s battery is very weak, but still functioning. Purchases though the links get me a commission at no extra cost to you, and helps me put out more reviews like this.Problem: The Ugee pen can no longer ‘double tap’, behaves strangely. You can compare prices at | Amazon US | Amazon UK | Amazon CA | Amazon DE | Amazon FR | Amazon ES | Amazon IT | Amazon JP No shortcut buttons on the monitor Availability Parallax that's compensated by software settings Cables come out from bottom of monitor affects the lowest stand position + Works well with most Mac apps except Illustrator CS5 + IPS panel with decent colour reproduction and viewing angles You may want to consider getting a matte screen protector but that would affect the image quality - making the image look slightly more grainy. It will take a while to get used to drawing on glossy glass screen. The feeling of the pen tip on plastic is not as good compared to Wacom Cintiqs because those screens have matte surface. Since the screen is glossy, it prevents the palm from sliding around easily so you have to wear the glove. I did not face with any strange glitches so that's a major pro.Īs for downsides. There's no lag but this depends on your system and the apps you use. Maybe Adobe CC would support it but I can't confirm since I'm still using the old Adobe software.Īccuracy is good. Pressure sensitivity works with all the apps I've tried except Adobe Illustrator CS5. Generally speaking, the Ugee 2150 works quite well. Tayasui Sketches Pro does not support pressure for its drawing tools. Pressure sensitivity does not work with Adobe Illustrator CS5 on the Mac. The lines do not taper as gradually compared to Wacom tablets though. Lines are smooth and can transition easily from thin to thick depending on pressure. Photoshop CS5 on Mac works with pressure. The monitor and pen supports 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity and they work really well. You can adjust the pressure sensitivity of the pen, assign shortcuts to the side buttons, calibrate the screen for parallax with the driver. If you need a Windows point of view, check out the guest artist review. The driver supports XP/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 and Mac OS.ĭriver installation is straightforward. The pen and cursor is generally very accurate. There's some parallax error but it's not really a big problem after calibrating the screen for parallax. If you want to create dots by tapping on the screen, you have to move the tip slightly because just by tapping, the dots won't come out. ![]() Very little pressure is require to produce the thinnest of lines. The huge rubber grip is good to hold but attracts dust easily.Ĩ replacement tips are provided and can be found inside the pen stand. Charging port is at the back of the pen so there's no eraser. But since there are two pens provided, you would always have one to use while you charge the other. The pens are battery powered so you have to charge them when battery life is low. It's an inconvenience if you like to draw at such a low angle, but if you don't, then it's not really a big issue. At the lowest angle, you can adjust the cables in such a way that the rubber feet can get contact with the table, but this means you have to manually adjust the cables each time you lay the monitor flat. One of the downsides to the design is the cables come out from beneath the monitor, and when you adjust the stand to the lowest (flat) angle, the monitor is most likely going to rest on the cable, and it would wobble. There's a USB port to connect to the computer so that the stylus can be recognised. The graphic ports supported are VGA, DVI and HDMI. ![]() I've calibrated the screen with a Spyder 5 Pro and was able to get a reading of 99% sRGB and 76% AdobeRGB which is good enough for a monitor in this price range. The IPS panel has relatively good colour reproduction. When you rest your palm on the screen, it's going to hinder your palm moving around easily because of the surface texture it might be better to use the gloves provided. The glass surface is really glossy and reflective. The 21.5-inch screen supports 1920 by 1080 resolution with a 250cd/m2 brightness. You can adjust the angle of the stand by releasing the latch at the top. The stand is detachable should you want to use a VESA mount. The design of Ugee 2150 is quite similar to many other pen displays I've featured on the blog over the years, such as the XP Pen Artist 22HD and Huion GT220. Other than the monitor, these are the included items So is it still good by today's standards? Included items Two years later, the Ugee 2150 is still selling. Should you need a second opinion, you can check out that earlier review. I had actually invited a guest artist to write a review back then when the product was just released. The Ugee 2150 Pen Display was actually released in 2015 if I am not wrong. Special thanks to for providing the review unit ![]()
