Windows 10: Has anyone tried the XP-Pen Artist 12 Tablet Graphics display ?

Lately I feel like my trusty 5+ year old Pen tablet is finally on the verge of retirement.
So I'm thinking of buying a new Pen Display Monitor that with a Screen so that Ican drawing directly on it .Since I used to work on a graphics tablet without a screen. Now I need your experiences with it.

I was able to sneak peak upon the XP-Pen Artist22E Pro ... and I just fell in love.
The precise workflow, the details on each pointing, the big 21.5" IPS Screen ,the regular multitasking possibility with the shortcuts . But hell ... the price. almost 600€, that's waaaaaaaay... well, it's not affordable for me at the moment, not at all.

So, I was just aiming for the neat 11.6" Artist 12 Pen Display, which, on some reviews, seems to cause a great experience to newbs and advanced / professional artists (working with photoshop and co. for more than 5 years, and it is just about time getting that thing).
But as reviews might be "manipulated", how is your opinion about the graphic Display tablet?

Please do post the pros and cons.
Like screen tearing, quality of screen, quality of colors, quality of AA, (does it have a battery inbuilt? if yes, duration/day or hour, lifetime), pen quality, pen options (besides of the 2 buttons and the erase-nug at the other point), pen-"nibs" and what kind of nibs they actually are and the usage of them, etc.

Thanks in advance.

I know that the 11.6" is quite scatty to handle, like about the icons, applications and such, but I don't mind that.

Oh, and here the tablet itself: https://www.amazon.com/XP-PEN-Artist12-Battry-Free-Multi-Function-Sensitivity/dp/B07GNK18VJ .

Display Tablet: Wacom CINTIQ 22HD VS XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro REVIEW

Hello everyone,I'm an Illustrator user,Iusually use the Adobe Illustrator. Evernote. Dropbox software and tasks. Mostly Illustrator on my display drawing tablet.

CINTIQ 22HD

I know there are a lot of people who are looking for cintiq alternatives as Wacom's tablets are expensive. I had been wanting a cintiq for years but never really thought they were worth all that money. However, after I had a chance of using Cintiq 22HD for
a few days, I came to realize that drawing on a display tablet is far quicker and more enjoyable than doing it on non-display tablets.

SO, NOW I WANTED A DISPLAY TABLET TOO FOR TWO REASONS:

1.Drawing on a display tablet was far more enjoyable than drawing with graphic tablets (like my Deco 01).

It felt like I was actually drawing on paper.

2.The higher precision and accuracy = I noticed I wasn't using the "undo" on cintiq 22HD as much = less hours spent per painting.

CINTIQ 22HD WAS GOOD BUT IS IT WORTH $1600?

Although the drawing experience was really good (feels like Intuos but more precise!) on Cintiq 22HD, I still didn't think it was worth $1600. It's a 2012 model and the display was nothing spectacular considering the price. If the display was a higher quality
and the tablet was slimmer, I would be dreaming of having one myself even at that price point. Anyways, I looked into cintiq alternatives and the closest thing seemed to be XP-Pen's newest model, Artist 22E Pro.



XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro

I ordered and had XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro display tablet （https://www.amazon.com/XP-PEN-Artist22E-Drawing-Pressure-Adjustable/dp/B01M9EURM1 ）for
a day.

It's been only a day but I already have a love and hate relationship with it...

Here are the Pros and Cons

PRO's:

1.More affordable than Cintiq 22HD (although it's still not that cheap $899 / $799 until May 31)

2.Screen temperature stays REALLY COOL (OMG I LOVE) vs Cintiq 22HD gets a little warm

3.IPS Panel (wide view angles) and anti-glare coating's really good. (cintiq 22HD's is grainy)

4.almost no lagging felt when drawing (14ms = same as Cintiq 22HD)

5.Slimmer and smaller than Cintiq but has 21.5 inch screen (same as Cintiq 22HD)

6.Parallax better than or similar to Cintiq 22HD

7.pen accuracy, sensitivity on point (except for the area close to the edges)

8.easy to use and install

9.sharp, good colors

CON's: [UPDATE: I am told that these two issues are solved with recent XP-Pen drivers update]

1.Display is not sharp (texts, image edges, lines are soft when they need to be sharp and clear)

2.Lower pressure sensitivity levels (1%-20%) I feel like are not that accurate. I needed to put a little more force for the nib to register anything and that results in e.g. 20% opacity when I wanted 10%.

3.Pen Batteries: You need to recharge pens. Not really a huge con for me because they give you two pens.

4.No tilt on pen: not a big deal for me. Just mentioning for information as some people do care about this function.

Other notable info:

1.Color Gamut: standard (advertised as an "amazing" display). It covers 72%~78% sRGB. Just a standard. It's not really a con or a pro I guess.

2.No pen stand: their site says they give you a pen stand. I only found a pen case.

3.Adj. buttons on the display are stiff but you don't need to use them often once everything's set.

4.Something about the way the pen nib works: related to the con I mentioned; I just didn't like the way it felt. The nib's a little bulky and doesn't feel good

when doing detailed, light strokes. Depending on what kind of drawing you do, you may not even notice this.

*I wrote no pen calibration in the image but the driver does have it I just missed it. However, that doesn't change my opinion on the lower pen pressure levels!



SO, MY CONCLUSION IS:

1.XP-Pen Artist 22E Pro display tablet is a pretty good alternative to a Cintiq with some better aspects (thin bezels, better
parallax, 21.5 inch screen etc.)

2.BUT! There are two major issues that made me return it. The pressure sensitivity was not up to my expectations. Maybe I am just used to Wacom pens but I felt like it's a little awkward when I needed precise strokes for details. Secondly, the display is not
sharp (it's too blurry. It could be because of the anti-glare coating).

Therefore this is a great display tablet for:

-people who have never experienced higher end Wacom tablets

-hobbyists artists

-people who have not had good quality IPS monitors

-people looking for a Cintiq-like display without breaking their bank

Wouldn't recommend it to:

-people who have used Wacom tablets (Intuos and above) and are used to them

-professional users / serious artists

*Note: if you intend to use two tablets from two different brands (e.g. wacom intuos and a XP-Pen display tablet) on one PC, keep in mind that there can be only ONE installed driver. You need to uninstall Wacom driver if you are using the XP-Pen tablet and
vice versa.

 

XP-Pen Artist 15.6 or 16 pro pen display : What should I get?

Hello

Should I get the xp-pen Artist 15.6 or the 16 pro ?I am currently looking for one to go with my main system win 10 pro .

So I can use my traditional drawing skills I have learned for a few semesters in college on digital media . The Keyboard and mouse doesn't work best for me when I start drawing more organic-looking shapes, a drawing instrument helps more . I just like looking
at my piece of work rather than trying to draw without looking down. I mean you can get a really nice graphics display tablet without having to Waste a lot of money .

Several factors to consider when getting a drawing tablet include pressure sensitivity, size, drivers, features and of course the price.

Issue W/XP-PEN G430 Graphic Tablet and Windows Recognition

Hello,

I recently received an XP-PEN G430 Graphic Tablet, and connected it to my computer with Windows 10. While my computer recognizes that something is plugged in, and the tablet is able to control the arrow, I cannot go through the driver installation process
because the tablet isn't recognized as a tablet but instead as a mouse device.

I've checked My Devices/Device Manager/Devices and Printers, you name it, and the tablet is listed as TABLET but only in NAME. Otherwise, it's recognized as a mouse device.

If I can't get it recognized as a tablet device, I can't go through the installation process as it says that my tablet is not connected.

Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
