I came here after the review you left on the XP-Pen website haha. Thanks for the review mate, it was helpful. I've just laid down the cash for one of these bad boys, so hope it holds up!
This is a really great tablet providing that you affix the USB-C cable in a sturdy position that will not get jarred, tugged, or moved in any way. The USB-C port on the device (which is essential for tablet functionality) is EXTREMELY fragile. USB type-C ports are janky to start with for all products, but the port on this particular device is not very strong at all. Outside of that, in my opinion this is the best graphics tablet for the best value. Sure, 4k would be nice, but at this screen size it's not really necessary. There is a little bit of parallax, but it never really affects what you are doing. The two dials on the sides are just a brilliant addition. I configure my left dial for brush tip size, and the right dial for screen rotation. Speeds up my workflow SO much more. If I can find a way to manually repair this USB-C port on the device (because even my extended warranty has expired a LONG time ago,) I don't see the need in getting another tablet as long as it works. Like ever.
I just got this table a year later, got it on sale!! i just want to point out, your voice is so soothing. you should do more drawing videos explaining the steps for them.
I've been using the 16inch for about 8 months and I bought a pen with a larger nib and made sure to dry wipe the screen with pressure every few hours of drawing. I did this to prevent scratches and I'm not positive that this is the reason but mine does not have scratches after 8 months. I have a knick on the screen protector from my dog putting his paw on it that I can't get out. I can't really see it when the monitor is on. On a cheap replaceable tablet I don't mind the screen protector but on a more expensive one the idea bothers me. I'd rather pay an extra $100-$200 to get a glass screen. It's the screen protector that's preventing me from getting it because I feel like a 24inch one will be really hard to replace without bubbles.
Hey man, nice vid. Just to point out one thing, I also have this tablet, and I noticed you talked about scratches on the screen, because you peeled off what you think was the screen protector. However, I'd say what you scratched is the actual screen protector, which is still on. If you take that of, you have a totally reflective smooth surface, which I don't think you can scratch with the pen's plastic nib (I may be wrong, but if the surface on your tablet kind of textured like paper, then the screen protector's on). Cheers.
Thanks mate, I only peeled the first protector off - I did notice someone else who had left that first one on and was drawing on it in a review...I did wonder. It would take a bit to get the actual 2nd laminate off I reckon - I won't go there, but these stratches are small and maybe I just draw too hard :)
Yes, the first one peeled off is a protector plastic for the matte anti glare screen protector that is set on top of the drawing screen. Some people have mentioned peeling off two screen films, the first one which protects the matte anti glare protector, and the actual matte anti glare protector.
There is the shipping screen protector that you remove when setting it up. The matte finish protector under that is your drawing surface. Do not remove or peel this off. If you do, then you are on the unprotected glass surface and will risk damage.
Hi Gurkan - won't make much difference to the performance, it's just saving space. I only use the USB-C as iMac needs a HDMI to USB-C adaptor. It It just makes it easier with one a small lead. I used to use a Wacom HD13 and it needed HDMI and USB plugged in. All the best.
Hi I have just ordered one today. Really enjoyed your review many thanks. One question, do you advise keeping the protective film it originally comes with in?
Hey thanks Marco, they actually have a protective film that comes in a pack of 2 for a great price. Well worth buying it as it gives a bit more friction too. Just take your time putting it on.
@@cardytoonsstudio Hi got the desk 2 days ago. And have followed your advise not to remove protective film. Also got in contact wit XP Pen staff and they confirm that the film can be used no problem. Lovely product.
Nice video! Is bigger screen reduce neck or shoulder pains compared to one with smaller screen? I don't have any experience with display tablets but I hear some people don't like them as much as screenless pen tablet because they cause neck and shoulders pains. I'd like to hear your experience.
Hi - yes - it can give some neck issues if you went for hours without a break. The good thing is it adjusts and this size it is like sitting at a drawing table.
I have had this tablet for 3 months it does not work. I have follow all tutorials install and unistall drivers firmware from the site on a new alienware desk top. it still says can not detect device to reconnect. yet its connected properly. their seems to be no help not even from customer service this a very pricey device. All over the internet people are leaving crappy reviews and having the same problem. Do you have a solution how did you get yours to work.
Hi guys the only way it worked on my son’s gaming PC was to plug both USB-c to USB-c And the hdmi, for some reason hdmi by itself could not be identified. Hope that helps Lisa
hello, i bought the same tablet 24 artist pro, i'm working on macbookpro retina display 2012 16 gb 500 gb ssd still perfect... quastion: have you know an issue about the calibration? i have tis issue i cannot pull out the dock because the pen stop before it arrive ion the edge. the support tell me to download the last version in beta. but nothing happen different. do you suggest something. i think this tablet is quite good, i have also a 24 pro wacom, and i feel the surface is better respect a xp. the pen felter tip woulbe a next upgrade for the xp artist to avoid the scratches. what do you think? thank you
Hi Tom - sorry I didn't see your questions earlier. How did you go with your calibration issue? Yes, also I think teh XP pen tips are very thin and prone to scratching. However they have now released the screen protector. I have ordered the pack of 2 and will see how it goes and how it draws. All the best!
Hi Tom, How is the "feel and accuracy" for the XP-Pen vs Wacom pro? How has it stood up to the test of time and use? I'm a professional illustrator and use my old Cintiq 21ux everyday. I'd like to upgrade to a Cintiq pro 24 or 32, but after reading scary bad reviews, it's making me wonder should I just get the XP pen? other professionals experienced heat issues and dead pixels and even patches of dead pixels and dying after a few months to a year. Totally unexpectable for something that costs $3300+ a $500 stand?!
@@altonszeto50 hi, I had a 21 wacom as you, one of the better tablet display since all are became full hd. I’m working as pro art director in a animation company in Italy where we use wacom display. I had a 24 full hd and now a 24 4k. The problem with wacom is if you use windows sw. there’s a lot of issues. I’m use a mac and I haven’t any issues. At least with the 24 hd. Really the best. Now out of production. The 24 4k needs a really strong computer with ram and gpu. If you think to buy something wacom take an old 24 hd. If you work in 4k no. I think you can find for 1200€/$. The 4 k isn’t good because is expensive and not ergonomic, needs a support stand. All of our artists have a shoulder pain. The xp artist 24 qhd is a fine tablet display. I bought for the resolution. Qhd. Really good no needs a lot of ram cpu gpu etc. I can work fine and fast with a retina MacBook pro 2013. The issues are the sw that not really actual and not performing as well as needs for a pro product. The point nib is so poor compared with cintiq. These are the only 2 issues I have noted. The good is the price. You not find nothing similar with this price. 1000 €. My question is: do you want invest in a tablet display for pro life? How many hour you work daily? We change the wacom cintiq after 2 years of work 40 h/week. All of them accused many issues. I think a xp doesn’t work more. But if you change you must spend less money to change. I think a 32 is too big. I don’t like the newest model. The old one was bigger and ergonomic. Large with the control on the side. The remote control is a problem. Sometimes the Bluetooth work bad and receive interferes with others. Check what really you need for work. Every 2 years something spring out in the market. The wacom monopoly is out. Really was the best. I think Japan products as xp and wacom are still better then chinos. Though are also built in china. Ugee is xp pen less expensive but not fine as xp. I hope I answer your question. Bye
@@Akiraruben Thank you so much for your response Tom! Really appreciate it! I work 40+hrs a week on my cintiq 21ux with old 2007 macpro. These 2 units have been an incredible duo workhorse that hasn't let me down! I'm looking to upgrade as the macpro is quite slow these days. I'm lucky because I'm a 2d illustrator so it's not taxing on the macpro. I also have a PC Alienware R6 i7 3.6ghz, 16g ram, nvidia GTX 1070 and sata hd. I would like to connect this with a next gen tablet. I was very disappointed to read amazon reviews about the cintiq pro 32 and 24 having dead pixel patches over time. some 4 months to 1 year. It's also very disappointing that Wacom decided to put "new" tech like touch and 4k, when honestly neither I or my pro friends use this. touch is a waste (many claim it doesn't work well), and with 4k you can't see your menus. Also while I wouldn't mind drawing on a 32" many pros want a 27" pro cintiq to come out without touch, they believe this is the best working size. It's such a tough decision to make as a freelancer. I don't mind at all to pay top dollar for best tech, but when it fails like a wacom pro only after a year... who would want to buy that? But feel and accuracy are so important for me working on it for long hours... perhaps get a Wacom pro 24" until new tech comes out? or a XP pen pro 24? but as you mentioned it's point nib is poor. How does XP pen pro 24" compare to our old Wacom 21ux? how is the drawing experience? miles better as it's newer tech? is it accurate enough to use for professionals? I do a lot of digital illustration work with 2d raster programs like krita, clip studio, photoshop, and illustrator. smooth lines and accurate pressure is also important to me.
@@altonszeto50 hi. The feeling of the wacom nibs is far away to compare it with xp, but isn’t really bad. The problem is the precision of the calibration. I’m looking the real sense of drawing. Is fine but you need to adjust it if you use different sw. for example i hate the cross in photoshop I prefer not having a cursor and to look at the nib and the sign, stroke direct under neath the nib. This is difficult to have in every sw. it’s fine in clipstudio, sketchbook, krita, not in corel painter. It’s fine in blender grease pencil. This is an annoying issue. The calibration doesn’t work fine and sometimes lost the data. You can save your prefs and re-upload. All works. But after 2/3 days change. This in wacom doesn’t happen. You can buy a protection sheet. For xp. To have a sense of paper. The nibs are the worst things. I adjust the old wacom felt nibs in the xp pen. Isn’t simple but it works.
Thank you for this update. I am about to buy one but I have seen some complaints about the drawing quality of the pen. Some jiggles and waves when you trace lines slowly. Is it true?
If for some reason you did have waves in your lines, in programs like photoshop you can turn up the line smoothing to fix it. However, depending on how powerful your pc is and ho much you turn the smoothing up, it might slow down and take a few seconds for your lines to show up
@@PhantomGanhdi Yeah that was good that you pointed that out because line smoothing usually is not a great solution in general and usually nets mixed results. Plus let me add that if there will ever be issues with pens, pen pressure and lagging,..it WILL ALWAYS START with Photoshop.
XP Pen is having a huge sale right now BUT.......People keep telling me that if I'm going to go for the best that I need the Cintiq Pro models. I'm just so on the fence because although I can afford it, it's still a HUGE chunk of change to drop. My biggest fears for this XP Pen Artist 24 Pro are centered around the pen lag and lack of paper feel. It sounds like you aren't noticing a lag even on fast strokes so maybe that issue is not a concern. You also don't seem to be getting the little fish hooks or line curls at the end of fast pen lines. Honestly, Have you ever tried a Cintiq? If so,...do you find that the Cintiq is THAT much better to justify the price? Was your decision to purchase the XP-Pen Artist 24 Pro STRICTLY a budget influenced one or did you actually choose it over a Wacom Cintiq because you really wanted to? Thanks man for the reviews!!
Hey mate Yes totally a price thing, I have a Wacom 13 HD and had no issues and it is great, and I’m sure the Wacom 24 would be amazing if you want to spend the money. This machine is getting a work out and it’s really good for the price. If it lasts a couple of years I’ll still be happy. Go the Wacom and there will be no suprisea of how good it will be. Go the XP if you want to save $ and buy something else too.
@@cardytoonsstudio Cardy,.....Yeah,..I just wish I could try the XP out for myself. All it would take is just one try to know if it will work for me. I GOT IT!!! Here is what I can do! I will fly to Melbourne, take a taxi to your house....invite myself to dinner,..then try out your XP Pen Pro 24....then head back to the states with a firm understanding of which way to go. Will that work? ( I will make sure that I'm Covid free of course before knocking on your door!)....See how I invited myself over!?!?!? I wish I knew someone in west Tennessee that owned one!!
@@ToddDolce Hi yes still going great - I bought another one as I accidently smashed my screen (long story) and I have the screen protector too. Was a pain to put on but is very good. I iwill review it soon.
Yeah - I've ordered 2 screen protectors(at last they are available. And another actual Artist 24 Pro as I had an expensive accident. Will let you guys know how the screen protector goes.
@Saaid R Still in love with it and I use it every day. Big Pros for me: 20 express keys and two wheels and you can program them differently for different programs besides a global setting used when outside of said specified apps. I do understand people's experiences will vary including their hardware. For context, I use it with a W10 laptop w/8thGen i7 & a GTX 1060. Even play my Switch on it when I need a break from artwork.
Hey dude, fellow Aussie cartoonist here... I was wondering, how does the screen go in the summer months? I've been using a Cintiq 24HD for years now but it's like working on a BBQ at this time of year! Also, have the scratches got any worse or are they pretty negligible?
Gday Bobby, thanks for the message. Mate I reckon I was pushing too hard on the pen, I’ve backed off a bit and the scratches are slight but totally make no difference when the screen is on. Also no heat issues, though in Melbourne today it’s like winter! I’ve had no heat really at all, it’s really good for the price to be honest and getting a good work out.
@@cardytoonsstudio Awesome! That's great to hear. I have a kind of heavy touch when drawing too, so I'll have to keep that in mind if I end up grabbing one. Cheers mate!
@@cardytoonsstudio Yes I do and I absolutely love it. My main monitor -a BenQ SW2700PT died while in the middle of a project and my Huion saved the day as it has 97% Adobe and I need accurate color. As a sculptor, this Huion works really well with ZBrush. I have had a lot of issues with XP-Pen with the drivers not working well with ZBrush. The glass is very good and there is no peel on screen protector because it has etched glass. I had a Wacom 27 QHD a while back and it had hardware issues so I went back to the Intuos. Even though the 22 Plus is only 1080p it has tight enough pixels to have good resolution. At 22 inches it's a good size and it does a great job compared to the some of the Cintiqs. I picked mine up for 385 on an Amazon sale.
You guys had outdoor photography banned? What was the reasoning behind banning it? Seems like one of the easiest activities to social distance 😂. Ohh well lol
To tell you the truth I didn't even know until we were told we could now do it :) I got some nice shots in my 5km radius during the time. We can even take masks off outside as of the start of this week - now the evf doesn't fog up :)

This is a really great tablet providing that you affix the USB-C cable in a sturdy position that will not get jarred, tugged, or moved in any way. The USB-C port on the device (which is essential for tablet functionality) is EXTREMELY fragile. USB type-C ports are janky to start with for all products, but the port on this particular device is not very strong at all.
Outside of that, in my opinion this is the best graphics tablet for the best value. Sure, 4k would be nice, but at this screen size it's not really necessary. There is a little bit of parallax, but it never really affects what you are doing. The two dials on the sides are just a brilliant addition. I configure my left dial for brush tip size, and the right dial for screen rotation. Speeds up my workflow SO much more.
If I can find a way to manually repair this USB-C port on the device (because even my extended warranty has expired a LONG time ago,) I don't see the need in getting another tablet as long as it works. Like ever.

This machine is getting a work out and it’s really good for the price. If it lasts a couple of years I’ll still be happy. Go the Wacom and there will be no suprisea of how good it will be. Go the XP if you want to save $ and buy something else too.
@@cardytoonsstudio Cardy,.....Yeah,..I just wish I could try the XP out for myself. All it would take is just one try to know if it will work for me. I GOT IT!!! Here is what I can do! I will fly to Melbourne, take a taxi to your house....invite myself to dinner,..then try out your XP Pen Pro 24....then head back to the states with a firm understanding of which way to go. Will that work? ( I will make sure that I'm Covid free of course before knocking on your door!)....See how I invited myself over!?!?!? I wish I knew someone in west Tennessee that owned one!!
@@ToddDolce Hi yes still going great - I bought another one as I accidently smashed my screen (long story) and I have the screen protector too. Was a pain to put on but is very good. I iwill review it soon.
the only thing that lets these down is they use a plastic protective stick on screen protector
Yeah - I've ordered 2 screen protectors(at last they are available. And another actual Artist 24 Pro as I had an expensive accident. Will let you guys know how the screen protector goes.
Got mine yesterday 😁✌
Awesome! How huge is it?!
@@cardytoonsstudio SO HUGE 😅. But it's a blast.
Hi. What's your take on it 4 months later?
@Saaid R Still in love with it and I use it every day. Big Pros for me: 20 express keys and two wheels and you can program them differently for different programs besides a global setting used when outside of said specified apps. I do understand people's experiences will vary including their hardware. For context, I use it with a W10 laptop w/8thGen i7 & a GTX 1060. Even play my Switch on it when I need a break from artwork.
@@jamesbullo Thanks, much appreciated. I think this will be my next pen display tab.
Any idea how long a XP-Pen pen display last compared to a Wacom pen display?
Hey Sean
I don’t sorry I’m hoping it will last at least 3 years though :)
@@cardytoonsstudio thanks for the reply. For me, that's what I'm thinking about, I think Wacom's can last longer.
Hey dude, fellow Aussie cartoonist here... I was wondering, how does the screen go in the summer months? I've been using a Cintiq 24HD for years now but it's like working on a BBQ at this time of year! Also, have the scratches got any worse or are they pretty negligible?
Gday Bobby, thanks for the message. Mate I reckon I was pushing too hard on the pen, I’ve backed off a bit and the scratches are slight but totally make no difference when the screen is on. Also no heat issues, though in Melbourne today it’s like winter! I’ve had no heat really at all, it’s really good for the price to be honest and getting a good work out.
@@cardytoonsstudio Awesome! That's great to hear. I have a kind of heavy touch when drawing too, so I'll have to keep that in mind if I end up grabbing one. Cheers mate!
You should compare this to the Huion 22 Plus. The 22 Plus has etched glass and 97% Adobe RBG.
Sounds nice mate. This one suits for now but I would like a try of the Huion one day. Do you have one?
@@cardytoonsstudio Yes I do and I absolutely love it. My main monitor -a BenQ SW2700PT died while in the middle of a project and my Huion saved the day as it has 97% Adobe and I need accurate color.
As a sculptor, this Huion works really well with ZBrush. I have had a lot of issues with XP-Pen with the drivers not working well with ZBrush. The glass is very good and there is no peel on screen protector because it has etched glass.
I had a Wacom 27 QHD a while back and it had hardware issues so I went back to the Intuos. Even though the 22 Plus is only 1080p it has tight enough pixels to have good resolution. At 22 inches it's a good size and it does a great job compared to the some of the Cintiqs. I picked mine up for 385 on an Amazon sale.
@@ZephrusPrime Sounds awesome! I have the light version of ZBrush will have to give this a go and see what happens. Thanks for letting me know.
You guys had outdoor photography banned? What was the reasoning behind banning it? Seems like one of the easiest activities to social distance 😂. Ohh well lol
To tell you the truth I didn't even know until we were told we could now do it :) I got some nice shots in my 5km radius during the time. We can even take masks off outside as of the start of this week - now the evf doesn't fog up :)
