Anyone know what the difference is between this and the Monoprice model? (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004C4ZT0G/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UT)

In looking at both, they are essentially the same. There are definitely better graphics tablets out there that are of this size, but for the price, it does the job. It is pretty no frills. When you install the device driver, I found it best to search the CD-ROM that it came with to identify the driver and utility that controls the tablet and the stylus.

cannot compare the two as I purchased the Turcom only. Can say that for the price this is a good value, but does not provide the software functionality, or ease of use provided by the more expensive "name" brand.

They have different labels (brands). Identical in every way AFAIK - the price has varied so at times I've gotten the monoprice and other times I got the turcom. Same drivers, same functionality. By the way - amazing equipment, not just for the price, but for the purpose. You will be pleased unless you specifically have needs that require the $1000+ models of digitizers...

No, it is the exact same thing. I even bought a better pen from monoprice afterwards to use for the "Turcom" one. A friend suggested monoprice to me because he had one and I bought the turcom one and it happened to be the exact one my friend had.

More same than different. The new UE model (this one) is 1.5 inches taller and half an inch deeper. The handle makes up the bulk of the extra height which the old one didn't have. The driver configuration is almost identical, 2 tweeters, 2 3inch woofers, and slightly bigger 2.5" passive radiators (old one had 2" radiators). The sound is near identical except the new one has more bass because of the larger radiators. The price went up quite a bit from $150 to $250 MSRP. I own the old one and still very satisfied with its low/mid/high balance. If you don't mind the lack of a handle and buying used, the old fine is a great deal. More same than different.

Price is the only difference I can see. Save yourself a few dollars, this one works great - I also use it to make Cuban sandwiches & it does a great job!

I just bought one and the difference is the type of scrubbing brush the model comes with. I know this because I read the manual. Yes, someone did read the manual. Each model only comes with one brush.got mine from Walmart it was cheaper and works wonderful. Sure beats the Cinderella method.

Different vendors post different prices. I doubt there's any difference other than price, but there are other brands out there on Amazon. This product is the best value tho.

I was wondering the same thing. I am thinking about buying the the 1019 and now I came accross the VSX-9049 and right now the difference is only around $20 in Amazon.

I don't know why the prices are different. They are the same type/color and sold by the same company. I purchased the cheapest one and it works great!

I don't know if my splitter was a Monoprice? but it was an optical splitter to connect a sound bar and a set of TV ears to a new flat screen LG TV. I also bought a short pig-tail to connect the splitter to the TV. We hae been using both for 6 weeks now and the splitter worked fine. It was also a TOSLink splitter.

I don't know why this amazon one is listed for $88...I bought mine for ~$30 at Sears. online, you can find this version for about $30. http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=11064802 maybe I should go back to Sears and buy another one if they are replacing this one with the "deluxe"...I was contemplating getting one from my friend.

Well, thanks for trying. I hope they reply! I noticed they merged those two models with their description as well which makes it hard to figure out the differences. If you dont get a response I'll definitely try to call and find out.

There should be two packages, but I received only one. I went through two deliveries with the same result and finally ended up ordering directly from Monoprice. They sent me both packages which contain the full system.

I wondered the same thing, especially since the vendors' descriptions didn't always jive. So I ended up ordering two: the cheapest one listed on Amazon and one from Walmart site-to-store. They were identical. That's a pretty small test sample, but I'm pretty confident they are all the same.

I'd like to add a little additional information to the excellent explanation from Jaygyver. I have both drives, an older WD1002FAEX and a newer WD1003FZEX. When I purchased the WD1002 model it was priced about the same as the newer model is today. I believe the current price disparity is due to two factors: the differences in suppliers as described by Jaygver, and also a design change. I noticed that my WD1002 was slightly heavier than the WD1003, and after some research discovered that was due to the WD1002 having two magnetic platters while the WD1003 was a newer single platter design. Evidently the WD engineers were able to simplify and hopefully improve the design. For me, both drives perform excellently and I'm equally pleased with both. However, I have seen discussions on certain tech forums in which intense gaming purists believe the older two platter design is better, and that WD changed the design simply to cut manufacturing costs. Thus the high prices for the WD1002 is due to it's scarcity (since it's now discontinued) and their belief that it's slightly better in both performance and ruggedness. As I said above, however, both perform equally well for me, and they're both Western Digital Black Series with 5 year warranties, so it's a no brainer to go with the best deal price wise.

No difference....just a marketing tactic to inflate the price. The MSDS data for both products are identical.
