I have an Aiptek Media Tablet which I've used on my old computer for creating digital art. For about a month now, I also have a new Quad-core Windows Vista 64-bits system with plenty of disk space and RAM.And the tablet works perfectly on my new system. Then, three weeks ago I also bought a second monitor and turned my setup in a dual-monitor system I didn't use my tablet for the next three weeks so I didn't realise that a dual-monitor will increase the desktop size. In my case, the desktop is now 3520x1200.

The problem now is that my tablet, which supports 4x3 and 16x9 modes is now used for a 3x1 mode. Thus, when drawing a circle on the tablet, it becomes an ellipse on the screen.

I hate that!

So, is there a solution to just limit a tablet to a single monitor? Are there other tablets that are more monitor-aware?

Wacom tablets let you map the area on the tablet to a part of the screen. This works perfectly - even on my triple monitor display.

Frankly, any other tablet is really a joke in comparison to the awesome power of a Wacom Intuos.

Wacom tablets combined with Multiple Monitor Switcher work perfectly.

Don't have to worry about silly pen nibs wearing down every few months, had my aiptek for 6+ years now and JUST had to change the battery for the first time and NEVER had to change the nib.

In case someone with a Wacom Graphire3 is wondering, here is how (in Windows 7):
