Most have a matte surface to emulate a paper feel, but there are also screen protectors that you can apply if it's not good enough. Pen features are typically more important. Bare minimum, pen pressure with at least 1000-2000 levels and pen tilt. Ignore anything below. Extra are things like buttons, barrel rotation etc. Screenless - Try a Wacom One in store. If it feels fine, there's probably not much more to it. Screens get much more complex, because it's a monitor and monitor shopping is already as complicated as it is. This is where I think the competition from other brands starts to come in. Consider pixel density, a bigger surface is always nice, but at 1080p starts to really stretch the image at anything bigger than 16" (you typically find yourself looking much closer at a screen tablet, so another thing to think about in terms of ergonomics and health) 4k becomes way more expensive but solves that issue. Also 16:9 is such a bad aspect ratio to draw on, but there is probably not much you can do about. Watch out for screen parallax, where the thickness of the glass may cause a disconnect between where you put the pen and where it appears on screen. Some deal with that better than others. I have a Wacom Cintiq 16 (non pro). It's fine. Pen is great. 1080p is just on that cusp of not enough at this size, but its fine. Screen parallax is a non issue. Underwhelmed with the screen technology, but that's likely where the price reduction comes from. It's color accurate enough, but it's range is poor, and not very bright. I tend to need to check my work on my good monitor. A relatively recent iPad (10th gen or higher) with an apple pencil 2 is also a really nice choice if ok with learning new software. Something I was considering at one point/ still am.
