Hello everyone!

I need a new tablet since my second Trust has broken down. Don't buy these... Seriously.
Since they are cheap I could afford a large model, but now I'm looking for a Wacom in
the hopes that it will last for a year at least. Problem is I can't afford any of the large ones
and I have a widescreen. I'm not sure which one to choose, any of you have any experiences regarding
this? Will buying a small model give me trouble if I have a large screen?

At the moment I'm thinking about getting this one: http://www.wacom.com/en/us/creative/intuos-pen

I'd recommend looking into Monoprice: http://www.monoprice.com/Category?c_id=108&cp_id=10841

I got one of the 10 x 6.25 ones about a year ago, and it's been working really well for me.

Thanks for the tip!
They seem really nice, only problem I can see with it is the battery for the pen. I always imagined that's why my Trusts broke down, cause I put to much pressure on their cheap construction, and they started to glitch... I'm looking into if they ship to Sweden, and how much that would cost me! But I'm still interested in finding out how smaller tablets work on large screens.

I have that wacom tablet in small. I upgraded from a much older wacom bamboo medium, and honestly the size difference is not that big at all. The small tablet is plenty big enough for me, although I rarely draw properly with it. It's pretty fantastic, and substantially cheaper than the medium version. I'd recommend it.

It always bothers me that no one updates these types of threads with any follow up, so here goes...
I went with the wacom intous medium anyway, it wasn't the cheapest thing I could get(~230$), but a friend of mine said he recently bought a wacom and was very pleased with it, and despite your advice Liam I was still worried about the size of a small version.
But it's working great and I haven't run into any problems what so ever with it yet, I'd definitely recommend a Wacom (of any size)!

This may be out there, but a 3ds and the app Colors! 3d for it work fantastic, and if you get the 3ds XL the screens are much larger, thats what i use for all my hand drawn animations and such.
