Good quality, great price, could use improvements for comfort.
I've only had the tablet for a few days, but so far I have not encountered any serious issues.I was really worried after plugging it in and installing the drivers, the image on the screen had a green tint, but after looking through the settings using the buttons on the back of the screen I realised it was actually using the "cool" color setting by default. After changing the "color temp" to USER with the following RGB adjustments:R: 50G: 48B: 54the colors ended up looking very similar to the ones on my main screen.There are a few downsides to the tablet:there are no modifier or programmable buttons, so I had to move things around on my desk to allow some space for the keyboard to be close, and have to keep my arm constantly stretched to reach those keys; buying a small programmable pad would help, but those are expensive.When working with some 3D software in order to move the camera I need to use the mouse's left click, right click, and middle click. The pen seems to have 2 buttons on the side like Wacom pens, and when opening the tablet settings to chose what the side button will do, it seems that there are actually 2 arrows pointing at both buttons, but you can only change one setting. So I can only map right click or middle click on the pen side button. I wouldn't mind using the eraser for the middle click if possible, but it's not remappable. In order to navigate properly in 3D software I need to keep my mouse close by to use the middle mouse button also. You'd better have a large desk for all of this!In conclusion, it's a nice tablet, with good colors and a great price compared to the competition, the pen pressure sensitivity is alright, but it could really use some extras to make it more more confortable to use, since every graphics program will use modifier keys for navigation.

Bewarned.
I've used quite a few other screen tablets in the past and I must say, this one is by far the worse (so far). My very old Cintiq needed replacing and I thought, well shop around, may be better on the market... [facepalm].It looks great on the surface, but as you dig into things, there are a lot of red flags...There's severe lack of branding on the product; The parts box looks like someone's been around your local tech store and just pick'n'mixed everything together; I honestly thought someone had put a lipstick tube in the cleaning bag, it was so out of place. The driver CD is completely blank and looks like it's just been pulled out of a multi-pack, my PC could not load it (had to find the drivers online). The power pack is also very light, light packs tend to be cheap and tacky and don't last that well.The screen itself:- Has no accessible offset options for the view-port (My screen wasn't aligned properly).- Is incredibly easy to scratch.- The protector is incredibly statically charged and awkward to get on. If you aren't in 'lab conditions', it will attract every bit of hair/dust it can before you even get it on the screen.- The buttons on the back-right are awkward to use and distinguish between without looking at them.- The screen comes with a 'cool' colour scheme, warm helped a bit, but the quality is still vastly inferior to my monitor(s). Is very difficult to configure to replicate monitor colour settings.- Plastic border 'cracks' when slight pressure is applied.- Isn't very responsive to pressure, to get the expected brush flow, you have to press quite hard; The software doesn't make up for this very well.The software looks extremely outdated (Last time I saw an interface like this was in 1999) and performs just as much;- Very unpolished.- Very few options.- Calibration does not work at all for me; The cursor isn't aligned with the pen.- Non-existent cross-OS-related feature support (EG: Windows Ink).- Not all art programs will plug-and-play with this tablet, some require faffing around in other settings to force it to work.This screams cheap-clone-knockoff; not impressed. My product will be returned shortly, I'd rather fork out extra for a Cintiq at this point.
