Being able to pull my 32" HDR monitor down towards me and use the screen as a touch-screen / tablet -- that would be great! But alas, I note here that pixel-accurate navigation doesn't cut it. And it's a glossy screen - and worse, 8-bit only! What a pity. Thanks for the detailed review Todd!
I have been using an xp-pen artist pro 24" ... been one of my best tools, as an architect, work on Archicad in 3D and draw in Photoshop ... saved me tons of paper :D
Wow! I want to like this monitor so bad but i agree that 8-bit is disappointing. Maybe this is the first of many displays of this kind to come. Great review!
At the very first sight of your video, even before I hit play, I was like, “Shut up and take my money!!” But after the review: 8bit, glossy, not pressure sensitive, non-extendable stand… it breaks my heart to put my wallet away. Our workflow already incorporates an iPad pro (and Procreate) which we’ve come to depend on for our animation work. This does not convince us to leap toward Alogics hardware… yet. But we’ll be keeping an eye for the next iteration. Thx for the review!
Clarity Max Touch is pressure sensitive and offers palm rejection support. The screen is compatible with Microsoft Pen Protocol (MPP) 2.0 Styluses (most Microsoft Surface styluses use this technology) for both Mac and Windows . If the stylus is pressure sensitive, Clarity Touch monitors support up to 4096 levels of pressure sensitivity, but not tilt-sensitivity. When not using a stylus, Clarity Touch can track up to 10 points of touch at once (all your fingers), delivering an intuitive touch experience with all the gestures you’re used to from your phone or tablet. Alogic Fold stand is an additional SKU one can buy separately. Having said that, Clarity Screen comes with a solid and sturdy metal stand that allows easy height, tilt, pivot, swivel adjustments. You can also look at buying Alogic Glide Arms, if free movement of the screen in any angle is of prime requirement.
Thanks for the great review! If this had come out earlier, I definitely would have purchased the 27" instead of the 32". 32" is HUGE and with the advantage of 10-bit color on the 27", makes it a great option. BTW - It seems that Alogic sent you the Clarity Active Stylus Pen? They have a new "Clarity Active Stylus Pen 2" listed on their website that is apparently designed to go with the monitor, pairs automatically, has more pressure sensitivity, has tilt sensitivity and a built in eraser function. Bummer that the pen wasn't available when I bought my pen and monitor a month ago!
This monitor is not good. I owned it and it had severe latency issues, delayed touch response, poor menu and it's not actually designed with Mac in mind. To top that all off the customer service is really not the best. Only plus, is that the build looks sleek!
@@flyingaviator8158 possibly, since you don’t need drivers to run it on windows. I think it should be promoted as the windows alternative to a Mac display… if it works any better on windows.
hi, i like your review, just liltle bit sugesstion if you can show how the apps or pro apps running in that monitor while you talk, it will more satisfy than just hear it.
My problem with all of these monitors, is that when you used a 144Hz display, it's almost impossible to go back to 60Hz. Same goes for IPS vs OLED displays. So here I am waiting for a decent 144Hz display for color editing in Lightroom (preferabele OLED with the pixels issue fixed completely).
agreed - I have a 60hz 4k monitor at home - just bought a laptop with 165hz and now my 4k just seems horrible. Once you go up in hertz the slower screens just look terrible.
Cintiq Pro is still the king. I'm still using 24-inch model, which is a bit old in 2024. But I reckon all new models Wacom introduced recently may be the best for professional work. 10 bit Pantone validated screen, 120Hz, Pro Pen 3 and other bells & whistles. Touch always been a gimmick IMHO, but you cant beat Wacom's pens, they are that good.
I still prefer normal non-touch 4K screens together with a separate tablet like an Intuos etc. Why? Although it will take some time to get used to the hand/pen being "remote" that is not being in the visual path, my hand is not blocking the image.
Great video, and right when I’m in the market. One BIG QUESTION I have.. When the monitor is in the lowered position, and you were using the stylus, you always in the video appeared to be hovering over the screen touching ONLY with the stylus. Does the touch monitor not have the capability to ignore your palm? When I use my iPad with pencil, or my Wacom with my desktop, I can freely rest my whole hand on the screen/wacom and it allows me to use the stylus much like I would a pen/pencil on real paper. I can’t imagine using this screen for long if it doesn’t have this capability and I always had to hover and only touch it with their stylus. Can you clarify on this please? Thank you in advance!! CC
@15:10 - you mention needing a display for museums, kiosks, etc. - there is such a monitor that already exists. Look up the company “Ideum Touch Tables”. Also a computer type large touch screen. I asked the company if it could be used for “Drafting” and they do show it and market it for that use, but I only saw it being used as a drawing display with zoom in/out capabilities. Not what I wanted to use it really for actually drafting on a digital medium. I wish they could have made it for that purpose, but it’s just a large display monitor. Sad. I wish - like you stated - that apple make a 17”, 24”, 27” iPad (no cables to use connected to another machine - like the Wacom or even this monitor). Now that size iPad I WOULD BUY !!
thanks for the review! i just checked their product page and it says they are supposed to have tilt and pressure sensitivity? was that maybe a setup or driver issue?
8 Bit colour, glossy screen on a 32 is a no. As for HDR is a no at the moment as as far as I am aware, there are no HDR printers, we cannot print HDR. This screen also needs a greater integration in OS operating system. I am not very tall but I think that the height if the screen is also got to be a no. It is a good start, OS intergration on a matt screen. Wow.
Todd, are you sure that this stylus doesn't have pressure sensitivity? On Alogic website there is a info that this monitor and 27" version is compatible with their stylus that supports pressure sensitivity. Actually 4096 levels of pressure this stylus has, according to the information on Alogic website. Also, as i see, based on specs on their website, there is a huge difference in colors between 32" and 27" versions of Clarity Touch. 32" is 16 million colours, but 27" version is over billion colors. As i understand, it is huge difference. To be honest i'm really interested in Clarity Touch 27 version, but there is almost no reviews of these monitors, especially from art perspective. There is a ton of questions from me about the work with stylus: - how is delay between tip of a pen and drawn line? - how thin the glass of a screen is? Is there "parallax" effect while drawing? - Is there jitters of a line when drawing? All of these questions are pretty important, but there is no information about this things in reviews. But thank you for this review, Todd!
@@tazmota6503 I´m very interested in the drawing experience as well - parallax, jitter/wobble, etc. Someone else wrote it supports MPP 2.0, so I´m guessing it doesn´t even reach MPP 2.5 level (which is supported by MS Surface Pro/Laptop Studio). But still, I´d like to know....
Interesting - where did you get this information from? The latest iteration of MPP is 2.5, as far as I know, and it´s being used on MS Surface Pro 8-10 and Laptop Studio 1 +2. There´s a video from Shogmaster with the Innocn 27P1U 4K 20pt multitouch Pen Display, and he´s showing how the pen behaves. Looks actually pretty damn good! I´ll look into that!
I've been using the Surface Studio 2 for the last 4 years (8 bit display) , I wonder how this compares because while that computer is fantastic, it's getting a bit long in the tooth.
@@andrew_stamps I ended up buying the 27 inch version since, unlike the 32 inch, the 27 is 10 but color. While it's not quite the surface, it's pretty darn good for whjat I'm using it for. Pressure works ok, but seeing as how the surface is by far the greatest touchscreen computer ever made, this does a very good job.
this is Genius.... apple refusing to put touch support is a joke that's been going on for too long! after my windows touchscreen, I was like dude... never going back. I'm not saying to stay touch all the times, but ! would be amazing if you had the option to pick....
With the Surface Studio, a 27 inch 3:2 All-in-One PC. This is a standalone monitor. So, no, they did not already do this, unfortunately. Wish they'd decouple the monitor from the laptop-grade internals.
Just a little more and. Macs will be able to do something similar to surface studios, which is about 10 years old😂

The goverment must ask Apple and every “all in one” computer company to include a “video in” port in every iMac or all in one computer. Dont you think?
