Some graphics tablets incorporate an [[LCD]] into the tablet itself, allowing the user to draw or paint directly on the screen.

Graphics tablet/screen hybrids offer advantages over both standard PC [[touchscreen]]s and ordinary graphics tablets. Unlike touchscreens, they offer pressure sensitivity, and their input resolution is generally higher.{{Citation needed|date=March 2008}}<!-- if this weren't so, wouldn't it just be a touchscreen? --> While their pressure sensitivity and resolution are typically no better than those of ordinary tablets, they offer the additional advantage of directly seeing the location of the physical pen device relatively to the image on the screen. This often allows for increased accuracy and a more tactile, "real" feeling to the use of the device.

The graphics tablet manufacturer [[Wacom (company)|Wacom]] holds many [[patents]] on key technologies for graphics tablets,<ref name="Wacom_patents">[http://www.patentgenius.com/assignee/WacomCoLtd.html Wacom Co., Ltd. Patents] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180912204654/http://www.patentgenius.com/assignee/WacomCoLtd.html |date=2018-09-12 }}. Patentgenius.com. Retrieved on 2013-12-09.</ref> which forces competitors to use other technologies or license Wacom's patents. The displays are often sold for thousands of dollars. For instance, the [[Wacom Cintiq]] series ranges from just below {{US$|1000}} to over {{US$|2000}}.
