people saying they like the pen display because you have two screens. unless portability is your issue, this is a pretty moot point. you can buy a decent quality 2nd screen for around the price of a mid-range tablet new or 2nd hand screens are pretty easy to scoop as well. my current set up looks like this but i used 2nd hand monitors for years:

this obviously does reduce potability since a (newer) display tablet can be little more portable than an extra standing monitor if you're on laptop and move your workspace around a lot but 2nd monitors are still an option for folks who use pen tablets. colour calibration will never be perfect unless you splurge on a calibrator machine and will always be different across loads of devices so i honestly dont even worry about "perfect" matching colours anymore. a pen display will still need to be calibrated with a calibrator machine to match sRBG (especially mid-range ones)

ergonomics of pen displays. the best reply i've had for this is many people recommending a screen arm for use with display tablets so they're much closer to a 90° angle. this does increase the energy needed in your shoulder/arm from holding your arm up so thats another factor to consider, some folks where commenting that thats still a negative to them but many have said this improves their posture + puts less stress on their back.

extra lil ergonomics note for pen tablets that work for me: vertical mice are your friend. i used to have pretty bad wrist ache + uncomfortable pressure points from how much my hand would need to twist when i used my mouse, a cheap vertical mouse sorted that all out for me.
