XPPen Drawing Tablet with Screen, 12 inch Graphics Tablets Artist 12 2nd, Digital Drawing Pad with X3 Stylus,127% sRGB Full Laminated Drawing Monitor Display for Art Design & Video Editing (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

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.

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.
