Wacom DTF-720

The DTF-720 is an interactive pen display that works like a digital canvas. Using the stylus, you can draw, edit or do whatever it is you use a tablet for directly on the screen.

Pros

Accuracy is one thing that the DTF-720 can assure its users. Its display measures as much as 512 levels of pressure sensitivity, allowing the gizmo to accurately reproduce sketches using digital ink.

Connecting the table to a projector or another display won’t be a problem because the device features a 17-inch screen with 1280×1024 resolution, as well as a built-in VGA pass-thru connector.

Also, there are two easy-to-access USB ports that allow you to plug in a variety of USB devices.

The stand allows tilting from 17 to 73 degrees. Combine a totally flat bezel and sturdy grip areas into the mix, and you have a pen display that’s very comfortable to use.

It’s great that the pen uses battery free, cordless technology.

Cons

On the other hand, there are some caveats.

It would’ve been better if the device was able to tilt up to 90 degrees.

There’s the issue of the cursor being out of line with the pen, especially when you tilt the pen into a diagonal position.

Summary

Overall, this product from Wacom is good for professional artists. However, if you can save up a few grand, you may be able to find something larger with better pen control.
