Of course, you can enable the "force proportions" setting so that it works with any monitor, but with a 1:1 aspect ratio monitor, you'll be able to use the full active area to draw with. I used it with the 28-inch LG DualUp monitor (28MQ780-B) which has an aspect ratio of 16:18. So, while it's not perfectly square, it is very close. I also enabled "force proportions" in the Wacom driver. Initially, I thought using this unusual 1:1 aspect ratio tablet would feel very weird, but actually, it felt totally fine to use. It wasn't uncomfortable or unnatural.

## Usage notes * This Pen tablet is very thick, which is normal for tablets of this generation. * The USB cable is permanently affixed to the tablet. * This device does not support wireless, as wireless support was not a feature in this generation of tablets. ## Photos
