Microsoft Surface Studio

But remote desktop will introduce quite significant latency, a limited framerate, and often visual artifacts of compression, which, obviously, is less than ideal for any sort of art application.

On Ethernet, latency and artifacting isn't actually much of an issue. On wifi, it really depends on your setup and how much of the network is being saturated when using remote desktop, but if you can afford devices like the Studio, or a Cintiq QHD 27, you should have a good network to work with.

I used to use Remote Desktop when I had the Surface Dock on my Pro 4, and latency/artifacting weren't an issue. It was much more ideal than having to fuck around with a Wacom tablet any time I wanted to doodle something.

Given what setting up a Cintiq is like, Remote Desktop isn't exactly harder or less ideal, especially since the Studio can still be used as its own system should something happen to the main system.

I'd rather deal with the slight annoyance of setting up a Remote Desktop environment than the giant headache of Wacom drivers throwing a fit.

 

Point taken.

Either way though, it would be awesome to have a tri-monitor set up with these.

I'd be first in line to do that if they offered the screens in both digitized and non digitized (still touch though), and run 3 off my 1080, 2 off my 1070, and one off of my 470.
