My ancient graphics tablet just died I need to buy a new one, and I'm looking for recommendations.... What do you guys use? My previous one was a Medion, it was A3 size which I loved. I've never really got on with Wacom, but I'm willing to give them another go if that's what y'all recommend. The one thing that's a must is that it has to play nicely with a duel-monitor set up, which mine didn't, meaning I had to change my desktop settings every time I wanted to use it So yes, any ideas (and links) gratefully received

I was about to recommend Wacom, too :-P They seem to be popular among digital artists. Sycohearted and pawlove would be the best people to ask, I think. I would give my left nut to learn of a graphics tablet that played ball with multiple monitors! That's something I always had problems with, and meant in order for the tablet to work, it would only do so across ALL monitors, which meant the active area of the tablet shrunk down to a thin strip across the width of the tablet Ideally I would want one that could be set to only move the cursor on ONE monitor.

THAT ^ That is my EXACT problem. Try using a graphics tablet when you have a triple monitor setup :-P You have a working strip the width of the tablet, that's only about an inch tall (zzz)

I use Wacom, but I never tried other tablets so I'm not sure how they would compare. I'm pretty happy with mine, even though after several years on usage the USB cable needed to be replaced. Not sure about using it on dual monitors, but after a little search it seems to have the same problems that Azayles mentioned

Sadly, I can't help with this because I've never owned a graphics tablet, even though I was considering getting one awhile back because I wanted to try to get back into drawing, but it never happened. Though I do have sketch apps on my actual tablet. If that counts for anything. I used to play the Draw Something app all the time before they discontinued it. Luckily, I was able to save most of my old drawings that I made on there.
