For many devices such as phones and TVs, people make a big deal about having the smallest bezels possible. For drawing tablets, a wide bezel is often helpful. ## Ergonomic benefits * Avoids your pen uncomfortably "dropping off" when you make strokes near the edge of the active area * Provides a place for you to rest your wrist or forearm so the tablet edge does not dig into them. ## Drawing benefits The EMR sensor (digitizer) needs to be a bit wider than the active area so that it is still accurate at the edges. A wider bezel provides that extra space for the digitizer. ## Reddit threads
