XPPen Artist Pro 14 Gen2 Drawing Tablet with Screen 14 inch Graphic Art Tablet with Full Laminated Anti-Glare Screen 16384 Pressure Levels X3 Pro Battery-Free Stylus 123% sRGB Tilt Stand Mini Keydial

I want any skeptics to know this is a quality well-built product. I bought the Artist Pro 16, and it is perfect for my needs. I will preface my review by saying that I had bought and returned the smaller 13 inch version because the size was just too small for my liking. Other than its size, it was good quality too. But this 16 inch one is perfect, and includes a shortcut remote in the box. You can buy the remote separately from XPen but it’s nice that everything’s included. Build quality of the tablet is really solid and everything is packaged in a pro way that makes you feel like you’ve bought something decent with your money. Seriously , it’s slick. I debated over saving up for a Cintiq, but given I had seen the quality of the 13 inch prior, I figured why not just save my money and get an XPen that’s a little bigger. I’ve heard so many people say the Cintiq is the best, and sadly I can’t compare as I’ve never owned one. But just judging the product on its own, it is certainly clear that XPen puts some pride into what they produce. This isn’t junk. The pressure sensitivity is very good. The responsiveness seems slightly laggy but I’m using this on a Surface which might be the real culprit. Even with that it’s good enough! I have an IPad Pro and it’s much more snappy, but that snappiness isn’t what matters as much as the overall experience. I prefer this over the iPad Pro. The screen surface has that perfect friction that a glass screen just can’t touch. The brightness control is good, though I wish it could go even darker than the darkest setting. Color range is decent, and the resolution is crisp. Set up was beyond simple. It defaults to Adobe settings so if that’s what you use, it’s got a pretty good settings profile out of the box as far as shortcuts. I primarily use Krita, but the XPen software is similar to Wacom Intuos (which I own) in that you can easily change these settings to your liking. The little settings remote is so good I don’t think I’d ever go back to not having one of these things. Simple, small, and has just the right amount of buttons with different shapes that you can just feel by touch and know what you’re pressing. Extremely intuitive . Anyway, I just love this product and it’s made me excited to get back into digital drawing after using screen-less tablets. On that note, I’ve heard people promote simple screenless tablets to help your neck by not needing to look down. All you need to do is get a decent tablet holder that has a lot of angles of motion and you shouldn’t have to look down. I did this and I find the end result is the best combination for drawing you can get. Or you can splurge on a fancy arm that you can adjust .

I have the Artist Pro 16 Gen 1 and own a Cintiq Pro 17 (2023). The Wacom Cintiq Pro 17 is amazing and I got spoiled by its quality, it checks all the boxes for sure and since I wanted to replace my old Artist Pro the most obvious decision would be to get a Wacom product, but then I came across this Gen 2 model and got curious. Read tons of reviews and went back and forth with perhaps getting another Cintiq Pro 17 or getting the new Movink 13, or the 16Tp, then came across some other different models from Huion and the list got really big really fast. This seemed to be a good option but people were complaining about accuracy and how the pen was overrated and all the other stuff. After watching 15 or 20 videos and reading as many reviews, I thought about giving it a chance since the price had dropped during Prime Day and then… omg, I was surprised. It is accurate, as accurate as my Wacom. It feels great, probably as great as my Wacom if not greater, response time is more than acceptable and screen quality is bright and colorful. Even the accessory that comes with it is amazing. Like, seriously. People complain a lot, I like functionality and it checks all the boxes. Overall, it doesn’t matter if you’re a professional artist or just started learning about digital art, photography or video editing, the Artist Pro 16 Gen 2 will probably exceeds your expectations for a price that makes it accessible without compromising on absolutely anything! Just buy it and forget about all the haters. The new pen is fantastic, by the way. I don’t care about how many levels of pressure it has, I care about how it feels and responds and it exceeded my expectations and being honest, feels better than my apple Pen 2024 and as good as my Wacom Pro Pen 3. In short, pen is great, response is great, quality is great, response time is great, brightness is great, weight is great, drawing experience is OUTSTANDING and connectivity is as simple as it gets (I’m using the 3 cable adapter). Highly recommended product for professionals, enthusiasts, amateurs, hobbyists, and pretty much anybody else considering getting a new drawing tablet or display. Just go for it because you will love it.

I love this thing, it works so well. I was worried that it wouldn't have drivers available for linux, but it does. I'm happy with its quality, especially since it was relatively cheap.

I really like this screen, great color and resolution. Excellent line quality, and I notice absolutely no line wobble when drawing. The keypad is a bit easier to use than others I've tried, though I don't often use these included keypads very much. I have a few complaints that prevent it from being 5 stars. I primarily work in 3D in Maya, and that's where a lot of my struggle comes from. * I have to calibrate the pen multiple times per day. * Toggling between screens can't be set to a hotkey on the keyboard, so working in multiple screens is a pain. I don't use the keypad thing because it doesn't have enough functionality for 3D applications. * The tablet doesn't play nicely with Maya's many, many menus. They often appear on other screens or offset in strange locations, and clicking some menu items is inconsistent. I don't know if it's the pen, or the drivers or the screen, but I it's a frequent problem.

I recently got mine and haven't put it thoroughly through its paces, but I am impressed. I am a professional artist and graphic designer, but on a budget. I have used Wacom products for years and years, from the big Cintiq 21 UX, which I still use as my monitor, to about every size of Intous, and have never had a complaint. I was considering a similarly priced Wacom Cintiq 16 Drawing Tablet, but wanted to check out the higher resolution of the XPen. I'm very impressed with it. The screen is amazing, with a crystal clear image, no alignment issues between the pen and surface, no lag, and with a nice feel to the texture. The tablet itself feels sturdy and well made, and it is a dream to use. I never had an issue with sensitivity with my Wacom, but I can feel the higher sensitivity on the XPen and time will tell what kind of difference it will make. I like that the screen is of a good size, and the tablet has a good thickness and heft, but it's not so large or bulky that I can't lay it in my lap or on my table and draw as I would with pencil and paper. All my PS brushes work perfectly and the pen is balanced and pleasant to use. The driver has given no problem, which my older Intous drivers were notorious for. I am happy with this tablet and looking forward to what I hope will be a long, productive, and happy working relationship.

This review is for XP Pen Artist Pro 16 Gen 2. I have an iMac with Sonoma update on it and downloaded the most recent XP Pen drive from their website. It seems with all tablets there’s an hour of monkeying around with settings to get things right and this was no exception, but eventually got it right. The clarity of this screen is gorgeous (you can see a photo I took of a raster image ,(I originally made in Adobe Fresco) on the display. it is just about as refined as my iMac retina. Which is what I have it connected to. Pen responds beautifully to screen. Colors are vibrant. The three other tablet displays I tried don’t even come close. I bought and returned a Huion Kamvas Pro 16 2.5k, a Huion Kamvas 22 Plus, and an XP Pen Artist 24 Pro 2k. Out of those three the Huion Pro 16 was adequate but it could not be set up for left hand mode (tried everything so don’t bother suggesting). So glad I sent all three back because this one is by far the best. No on-tablet controls so screens don’t have to be rotated and nothing touches your hands or wrists as you move around the display. It comes with a Bluetooth keypad but I prefer my small keyboard that came with iMac to use all the smart key controls with. Pen is the most ergonomic and the feel of the rubber is smooth and cool to the touch. No real holder for the pen but so what. I put it in an old Wacom pen holder from my days of using a pen tablet. Use a small glass with a piece of felt in the bottom. The box is beautiful and it was delivered two days after I ordered it.

i tend to research for hours before making bigger purchases. i find it kind of fun. so to pay back all the reviews that have helped me along the way, im writing this review, for a product i truly love, and am in no way shape or form been compensated for this review, or received any free items from the maker. i paid for my xp pen artist 15.6, and heres my to the point review. 5 stars. all day. I have used microsoft surface pro 3's and tried the surface studio at the microsoft store. this tablet is every bit as responsive, and fluid as those tablets. there is, one slight con to this tablet. well two.. first there is a slight difference in what you see, and what you touch. now wait!!! its not all that bad. truly. in fact, you're only going to notice it if you work flat with the tablet, on a table, without a stand, and with some distance due to sitting at a desk. in that case, the two furthest corners are gonna have a slight water effect, like seeing the fish in the water, and grabbing with your hand. the fish isnt where it looks like it is. thats what i mean. the two furthest corners, when laid flat will have this effect. even after calibrating, it still seems slightly off. now, easy fix!!! just buy a stand, and slightly tilt the tablet up, and this effect seems to be gone. or buy a two dollar three binder, and use it to slightly prop your tablet. i personally splurged for the stand right from xp pen, after i bought the tablet. and chose to buy there product for the stand, because i feel like for what they charge for the tablet, id happily spend another 50 for a perfect stand. it never shakes, and holds in place. im 300 lbs and push with a decent amount of pressure, and it doesnt budge. but back to the tablet. this tablet is every bit as good as a surface pro3 and up, and way bigger. ive never used wacom, but ive researched that microsoft surface used the same technology as wacom, and even had some of their old people. so as far as i know, they are very close in performance. when my surface pro 3 died, microsoft wouldnt even work on my tablet!!!!!! instead, my only choice is pay 799 before tax, to upgrade to surface pro 4. but, it had same exact specs as my now dead surface pro 3. that tablet lasted 2 years before it died, and cost me 1000 dollars, and if bought at best buy 1400. this tablet was 350 plus tax. stand another 50. i bought a rebuilt computer that blows away the surface pro 3 specs i had, for 400. so i spent less than my cheapest opition to replace my piece of junk microsoft product, with new crucial memmory of 32 gb, a i5 newer generation than sp3, and all around better specs including ssd. and external 2gb hdd. so, dont be a microsoft fan boy, like i was, to be their whipping boy when their crappy products fail. but this. and dont be a fool and spend a thousand more dollars, or 4x the cost of this tablet for a wacom. and still need a computer. any one looking to buy a surface pro 3 or wacom, come here instead. i love this thing. and have no reason or anything to gain, by my honest review. one last thing, this has a matte finish. i removed the plastic on the screen, ive read people sometimes leave it on, for more of a matte finish, but i find its plenty matte enough without the plastic. really feels like writing on paper, where as the surface pro 3 felt like writing on glass, and super glossy

So, I've had the XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Drawing pad for about a week and I am more-or-less pleasantly surprised at the product. FOR THE PRICE at which it was purchased ($289 on a flash sale) the screen is pleasantly bright and the calibration is accurate enough I can get rid of the parallax for a long period of time (with repeat calibrations needed over time). HOWEVER, I purchased this pad after buying and testing two other pads. The first was for the Holidays and it was from Monoprice. On that device the solder between the device connector and the cord went out within two weeks. Since Monoprice couldn't repair it, I got my money back. I then purchased a smaller pad (Huion) from Amazon. It was too small and the screen was too dark. So, I sent it back and ordered this XP-Pen. Here's my experience: The first day I used the pad, I had issues with the screen going completely to black when I shifted the pad from landscape to portrait mode. The entire screen would be black until I settled the pad into a position the cord was comfortable with and then the screen would light up again. So, I thought, "I need to go ahead and invest in a second cord to have a backup for the future and to test if the issue with the screen going black is a cord issue or a connection/solder issue with the device." So I call Amazon because they claim that Amazon will give support on the device. Well, Amazon cannot find the type of cord that matches the device for sale anywhere. The cord is completely proprietary, by the way, and is not compatible even with XP-Pen's other pads. The Amazon customer service rep tried to sell me on a cord for XP-Pen's 10s pad but I saw the photos and knew it wouldn't work with this pad. So, I ask the rep to call XP-Pen and here is what makes want to return this pad and never do business with XP-Pen again: their phone number isn't working. BTW, here's the phone number, test it yourself: 1-657-445-6129 You get a message (Amazon has called it and so have I) that tells you the number is not connected and no customer service will be offered by phone. They tell you the only way to get service is to write them at their ONE EMAIL address: service@xp-pen.com. So, I got this on a flash deal. And it's bad enough that I can get no customer service by phone for the near $300 I spent (by the way, the Better Business Bureau suggests NEVER doing business online with a company that doesn't have a US phone that is answered, proving that they are actually in business). So, I should have tested this BEFORE buying. Now, I've tested it for YOU. When most of you buy this pad, though, you will spend nearly $400 for the device and you won't get phone support either. So, also, when I attempted to register my product so I could claim the warranty that comes with it, their registration form doesn't work. And this was the link to the page given to me by Amazon customer support. I put in my serial number and got a confirmation that the serial number was confirmed but then that message was followed by something that read, "corre_city" and nothing more. It never asked for my contact information, my name, address, phone... nothing! I've coded a bunch of forms -- so I know they didn't bother to test their form after coding it. So there is no way to register that you own your device and that means you'll likely NEVER make a successful claim on a warranty (which, if you read it, is so limited as to be useless -- they can deny you by simply saying the damage is your fault and you pay for shipping both ways). I finally reached the customer support level for Amazon (John was great). And he found that -- nope, you can't buy a cord from them (so my solution is useless). But, hey, you can: 1. visit their website and hit a chat button. I did. I left the information they asked for and this is the ONLY response I got from a supposed "Justin": "English tech support - we are here to help! 10am-6pm (PST) / 6pm-2am (PST) Monday-Friday" Beyond that, they offered no "help." 2. You can leave them an email. I did. Nothing from them hours later. So, if you want to spend nearly $400 and get this level of support from XP-Pen well, then, feel free to send off your money. You'll get a pad and, if there is NEVER any need for you to require support, repair or replacement, then you're gold. But if you expect even a modicum of support for that nearly $400 investment, you're so scr*w*d. Your choice. I do like to be fair so, if I hear from XP-Pen, I will revise my review at that time.
