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’m not super technical about this stuff, I’m just a 16 y/o hobbyist, but it feels pretty good straight out the box, was a little nervous since so many people said they had trouble setting the tablet up, but it was super easy for me with the 3 in 1 adapter. I will preface, that it was recommended to me by a few friends not to use the felt tip nibs as they make tiny scratches on the screen over time, an I also don’t really like the way they feel. Unfortunately the shortcut buttons on the pen also do not function for me, and arrived like that, but I’m not too worried about it as I am mainly using the remote anyways, which feels nice. One thing that surprised me was the sheer size of this thing, I got the 16 inch display, and the tablet took up more space on my desk than I had expected. Especially so as I’m used to an 11 inch IPad lol. Also I’m not sure if it was just me but the pen would occasionally make little jagged lines, which doesn’t bother me too much, just a bit annoying. The sensitivity also isn’t perfect, but I’m not too upset about that either. What I noticed after a few hours of use however, is that it heats up quite a bit, however my brightness was set on the higher side. The tablet itself feels super smooth, and has got some weight to it. I can’t say much about the durability as I haven’t used it long enough, but from what I heard the pens are pretty fragile, so be careful with those. I am a beginner to using a tablet like this after only drawing on an IPad for a couple years, and it wasn’t too hard to get used to. I also really like the colors, overall just feels nice. So if you’re already a little experienced in digital art, I highly recommend. Even if you’re a complete beginner, feel free to try this too, just make sure you understand shortcuts since this tablet is not touch screen. :D
