Drawing Tablet with Screen - XP-PEN Artist 2nd Pen Display Computer Graphics Tablet with Battery-Free X3 Stylus (15.4 inch, Black)

The media could not be loaded. I am a professional artist, I draw book covers for a living, I brought the xp-pen artist 16 2nd generation to have a display drawing tablet that I can hold in my hands wile siting in bed drawing. And this tablet is excellent for that. I can use just a one c- usb cable that goes straight to my Mac book pro. This allows me not to have any cables in my way, while sitting in my bed drawing, making it very comfortable to use, the power come straight from my MacBook Pro and powers the tablet. The screen has excellent colors, and very easy to set up with clip studio, especially using Shortcut keys. The screen is laminated, so it allows you to make it feel like you are drawing directly onto paper, that is a nice feel.Are use a cintiq 24 HD touch for the last seven years, don’t get me wrong. It’s a wonderful machine, but this new XP pen allows me to be portable.There’s only one feature that could be improved is the pen itself, it’s not like my cintiq it does not have a nice grip to it. It works though very well. But it needs to have a rubber grip and bigger buttons that allow you to have more control, but because I’m only using it to sketch and in mobile situation, it works great for me.I really recommend this, especially for the price point. I have used thousand dollar cintiq pro 16, and I think that it draws just as good, and has a screen that gives you vibrant colors for what you were looking for as a professional artist, or even a beginner. don’t get me wrong I still think the Wacom products are amazing.But for the price point of this, it works just as well and it gives you the same feeling of the cintiq pro 16 buy wacom and it’s lot lighter, and I love the short cut keys. Xp pen I give you 👍 up. Amazing

Ive been looking to upgrade from my wacom intuos photo, as ive had it since 2018. I was very sceptical to try a different brand outside of wacom, due to them being the leading company in drawing tablets. Currently, I cannot afford a new wacom tablet, especially one that comes with a screen. I've always wanted to get a tablet with a screen if I was going to upgrade, and after looking at SEVERAL different tablets and companies, I tried this one.Needless to say, I am MORE than impressed with this tablet. It has everything I wanted the tablet and software to have (pen settings, pressure sensitivity, custom keys, easy to install drivers and easy to use.) I included photos of the software *see photos*So far I've had 0 complaints about this tablet. The pen tip to cursor has basically 0 lag / difference, and it feels just like drawing on paper. Drawing feels so much easier now that im drawing on an actual screen vs just a pad.The size of the tablet is perfect for my needs, and isnt much larger compared to the intuos. I also included a photo of the size difference of the two.The pen itself feels much less cheap compaired to the intuos pen (ironic I know), and it has a nice heft to it like a wooden pencil would. Yes its still light in compairson to other tablet pens, but to me its perfect. It also comes with a drawing glove!!! It feels great and slides across the tablet easily. *see above for photosIn all, I never thought id find a tablet that could match wacom! Yes wacom is still the number one for a reason, but xp pen is the next best option in my opinion. Their performance is outstanding, and at an aforable price!!! Highly reccomend this tablet ❤

Its an economic draw pad and functions great. Solid, and the xppen software is really good. The pen is programmable for different mouse clicks or keybinds. Good fidelity even at the lower resolution. Fantastic if you use an image processor as a hobby and I’ve more than gotten my money’s worth. However, the wires are a real hassle, and it becomes too much if you want to draw on your couch. You’re saving money in this regard, but I wish I had a wireless pad after a few years.

This 12 inch xp pen tablet came with a small blemish, but in all fairness, I paid a ridiculously low price compared to other tablets. But oops it was supposed to be a valentine's gift. I had the great fortune to notice the 16 inch version was at a greater sale, so I got that one for her and kept the 12. The 16 was perfect. I can't see the blemish on the 12 while in use, and honestly, it's going to develop some wear and tear thru use anyway. The screen is brilliant and the texture is perfect.I'm running the latest iOS on a 2018 Mac mini i7. There have been zero issues with the "other big name brand" tablet while simultaneously using the XP. The only hiccup I've run into is learning to scale the screen right (on her PC) before calibrating the pen. I am a Mac, not a PC.I found that using a quality usbc cable connected to the thunderbolt ports on my Mac mini worked best. HDMI was already in use for my main display. The HDMI port in a peripheral I was using for my iPad was not sufficient either- there seemed to be some winking. I can't recommend using USB power from the same peripheral that you have an HDMI adapted. Plug in as direct to your computer as possible.Configuring hot keys in the XP Pen driver was not as pleasant as it could be, or at least compared to the big name tablet. It was more of a learning process than it needed to be.If I were to pay more money to get a better product, it'd have to be for a 4k touch screen and at least 16 inches- which I believe XP-PEN makes. Maybe for XP-Mas?The only tool function I can't get with XP Pen is barrel rotation. I make use of this in many of my paintstorm brushes on that big brand name tablet. Not seeing any evidence that brand name is updating the barrel rotation pen any time soon. Sad to see the dwindling support of a function that is second nature on any real brush. With all these newly affordable apps and tablets we should really be seeing more diversity of tools. Airbrush? 3D Sculpt mouse? Rotary dial? Anyway- no one is making these anymore. The XP-Pen is solid for what it does and at a great price. Can't beat that.
