Workspace
The exact size of the active area of a tablet (or screen in a graphic display) in width and height. In general, it is more of a reference than a practically significant parameter: when choosing a traditional graphics tablet, there is often enough information about the format (see above), and for displays, primarily the diagonal (see above) and aspect ratio (see below) are of practical importance . However, the exact dimensions can also be useful in fact: for example, you can determine the aspect ratio from them (for classic tablets, this parameter is often not indicated).
Size
Diagonal of the working area — the screen itself — in a graphic display (see "Type").
In general, the larger the diagonal, the more convenient the device is to use: a large working area covers a large area for drawing and at the same time allows you to work effectively with small details. On the other hand, this parameter directly affects the price, and the dimensions cannot be discounted: in some cases, there may simply be no room for a large device.
By the standards of graphic displays,
13.3" or less is considered small,
15.6" is considered medium, and many models have
larger screens. And it is customary to evaluate the size of traditional tablets by the format, and not by the diagonal.
Brightness
The maximum brightness in cd/m² that the device screen produces.
High brightness displays remain highly readable under intense ambient light, such as when the workplace is exposed to sunlight. A dull image on a graphics tablet screen can be “blown out” by such lighting. Note that a large margin for this parameter affects the cost and power consumption of the display.
Colour space (Rec. 709 / sRGB)
The range of colors that can be displayed on a graphics tablet screen. The parameter is indicated as a percentage relative to the coverage of the Rec.709 or sRGB color space. The larger the color gamut, the wider the capabilities of the screen and the better the quality of its color rendition, which is extremely important when working with graphic materials.
Rec.709 and sRGB are the most popular modern color models: they have the same range and differ only in the area of application. So, sRGB is used in computers, and Rec. 709 - in HD television. In terms of the range of colors, these spaces are identical and the percentage of coverage for them is the same. In the screens of graphics tablets, the color gamut for the specified models can reach and even exceed 100% - these are the values that are considered necessary for correct work with graphic materials.
