Display toggle for pen use on separate displays has been more comfortable for me. Maybe it’s my desk setup, since things are rather crowded and using a mouse feels cumbersome. Awesome video!
I'm just gonna say two things 1. Nice graphics card 2. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING THIS. I was really confused what to do if I were to upgrade my pc to have a gpu. So again thank you.
I cant seem to draw and use my mouse. I have a Kamvas 13 and its working as a second monitor but my pen just isnt working. It shows up on the second screen not primary one
@@mxyer2605 can u explain it to me? I have similiar/same case but i dunno what to do. I click extend the display, the cursor from my mouse work on both screen but my drawing pen only work at the first screen. My pen display is the second screen, so i can draw with my pen display, how to fix this?
Nearly gave up trying this until I explored my tablet's driver for a while and found out how to separate the pen's inputs from my laptop. When in doubt, just try things in the driver 'till it works lol.
I extend the displays on my laptop and XP Pen Artist 12 from the display options. That allows me to have Photoshop running on my tablet while my laptop monitor runs PureRef with all my references.
do pen tabs work when its connected to the laptop while the laptop is connected to the TV via hdmi cable? my laptops LCD broke so you cant see what you're doing unless you connect the laptop to the TV..
I've had a problem with mine for such a long time, tried everything above then finally, work as the main screen - absolute - support digital ink.. I don't know why it works, but I'm on three screens again.
Thank you for another great video! One question, I will be purchasing the Cintiq 16 next week, but unfortunately, the only port left I have on the GPU is a DVI-D port. Can I use the HDMI converter like you have for it as my third monitor? The other two is a Display Port for my main monitor with G-sync, and an HDMI port for my second monitor.
Thank you for this video it was very useful. I am going to buy one like this but still making researches, should i buy touch or touchless version. So after may be two years and more of using it do you think touch is a necessity?
hi Aaron i just brought a Huion Kamvas pro 16 4k plus i have a macbook pro retina late 2013 i was able to make them 2 separate monitors and able to make the pen to work on the tablet only. but now, all my programs, apps and folders are on my 1st monitor (laptop (i want to keep it that way). How do i get he apps or programs, specially photoshop or sketchbook to open on my pen display (2nd monitor)? like the way you have it in this video PS. i am using photoshop CS5 would greatly appreciate your help
can you hook up a graphic tablet to ones smart tv instead of a PC what am trying to say could you use a smart tv as a monitor as well as hook up a PC tower to a smart tv
I'm confused, I setup to where they're separate but when I scroll down to do "extend to desktop" the option isn't there, also when I separate them no matter which one I make the main screen it only shows my applications on my tablet
Hey Aaron! so I just got a kamvas 20 2019 (my first tablet) and when I use my pen on it, It moves the mouse on my first monitor how do I get rid of that, I wanna draw *sobs*
the same problem happens to me and I've tried fixing this within multiple occasions using diffrent devices. If you got any information somewhere on how to fix this please let me know 😭
hey man can you help me? i buy the new xp-pen 16tp 4K that conects with PC with one USB and one HDMI, the problem is that my main monitor also conects HDMI-HDMI and i only have one hdmi slot in my graphic card! My graphic is a geforce2070 Super that have 1hdmi and 3displayport slots! my monitor is a Hp27f that have 2hdmi slots and one VGA! i try the adapter VGA-Displayport and it works but it reduces dramatically the quality of the monitor, maybe HDMI-displayport works??
Yesterday all working fine. Today I can't get the pen to work with PS on my 2nd screen? spent 2 hours cursing until I saw the part at 9:05 but mine has 'calibrate' not mapping! Q; do you ever shut down your setup at night are leave them permanently running? I messaged Wacom but they expect you to go on a weekend vacation until they can answer you. Thanks for the video.
Sir, thankyou for your video. But can i ask something, i still don't understand how to manage a cursor. In my case i work with my laptop (display 1) and display tablet (display 2), i already set my display tablet as my main display, but i can't use my stylus to draw it, and it only work to my display 1 which is my laptop. But on my laptop cursor tap it works to display 1&2. (Sorry for my english, i hope u understand). I hope you can give me an answer, i really got lost 😭 Thank you so much
Great video Aaron! I have a Cintiq16, but i only use it sometimes i don't want it to be on for a long time. That's why i turn it on and off several times a day. What is the average lifespan of such a monitor for 3-4 hours per day, does switching it on and off hurt him? Thanks! Best!
It depends on the brand. I've been using my Cintiq daily for about 4 years, turning it off when not in use. There are Cintiqs that are still working after 10+ years. In rare cases, a defective unit will not make it that long, but generally they last a long time.
Thanks you for your answer Aaron! I have another question :) I am thinking about a Cintiq Pro 13. I need for only sketching. There is a tablet mode in pro models. Is this mode turn off the screen completely? I mean switch of the blacklight too? Thanks, best!
hey, very helpful video. i have one question: do you leave your drawing tablet plugged in at all times as a 2nd monitor or do toy only when you use it for art? ty!
Can the graphics tablet be connected to the chassis of the desktop computer? can it be used as a main monitor? Usually the graphics tablet is used as the secondary monitor. Please someone tell me if this is possible.
What if your monitor is 2160p or 4K and your tablet is 1080p, do you still set the tablet as your main display, because I want to play games too and I want to play those on my 4K monitor they even are mainly setup to run in 4K doesn't that cause problems when you switch your main monitor to be your 1080p tablet?
He only chose his Pen Display as his main display because of the QHD resolution ; while the others were 1080p. You can set your 4K display as your main monitor.
@@aaronrutten Ok I need help! Just bought Elements 2021, running win 10. Have issue with previous versions as well. When using any tool, say rectangle tool, if I select an area, the selection does not appear! I need to cause a "refresh" event to make it appear. For some reason this started after some windows updates. There is no answer for this and its causing me to move to Affinity Photo/designer. Any ideas?

Great Video Aaron.
I really like using multiple displays to do my work, and I just can't see myself going back to a single display.
Totally agree!
I cant seem to draw and use my mouse. I have a Kamvas 13 and its working as a second monitor but my pen just isnt working. It shows up on the second screen not primary one
I'm sure you've fixed the problem by now, I was have the same. To fix it I went to display setting and extended the display.
@@JustCRANEthesedays yeah i think it was in my tablet display settings and it was set to the wrong screen. But yep got it working great!!

@@jessicaestrelia2947 thats odd. Thats pretty much what i did and it worked 😓
I had the same problem and just fixed it! Go into the tablet drivers, select working area, and then select the correct monitor!

Yes, it should work just like your TV when connected. However, you may want to install the drivers first.
Thank you so much!!!!

6:24 i see your video in, you display table is your primary display, correct me if im wrong, my problem is because my dispay tablet is a secondary?
Aaron when I do the setup for multiple displays, when I try to draw on my cintaq the pen won't draw
Hey aaron. Do you recommend all displays have the same size?
Nah. They can be different sizes. My Cintiq is QHD while the others are only 1080p. Doesn't cause any issues for what I do.
what if u have integrated graphic cart i mean i dont have graphic card i just have good cpu
Great video Aaron! I have a Cintiq16, but i only use it sometimes i don't want it to be on for a long time. That's why i turn it on and off several times a day. What is the average lifespan of such a monitor for 3-4 hours per day, does switching it on and off hurt him? Thanks! Best!

Windows only. Not a fan of Mac, but I used to own one in the 90s.
