I use a widescreen monitor and have had no problems so far, but if it's a concern go for the A5.
Well, I heard that it was better on big screens to have big tablets because otherwise you lose precision, that makes sense to me but I never used a tablet either...

I work zoomed in (200 or 400) for real detail work anyway, so not sure how a bigger tablet would give more precision, just a larger working area.
The resolution of even the small tablets is much higher than screen resolutions.

True, I hadn't thought that I'd zoom in anyways, besides the Wacom seems much more sturdy and has function buttons that seem more useful. Well, I have two weeks until I have the money and another two weeks before I can buy it, so I have all my time to think about it
Thanks for the input.
I had an Intuos 9x12 tablet, 'til my cat knocked over a can of Mt. Dew all over it. I'm thinking about replacing it finally with a 4x5 Bamboo Fun. Much cheaper and good enough.
For serious: I don't see how anyone needs more than 256 levels of pressure sensitivity. No matter how 'professional' they may be, I don't think anyone can tell the difference.
The pressure levels are useful for creating smoother transitions from strong to light touches.
Apart from pressure, I know that some tablets feature tilt sensitivity. Are there, really, any other features besides those that differentiate?

What is the least expensive tablet out there these days with tilt?
I have the original USB Graphire, which still works nicely, but am always curious about my options.
