Beautiful colour and super accurate.
This is a drawing display with clout, one that offers a 4K super-sharp screen, with Calman verified colour performance, improved build quality and a consistently accurate drawing experience. However, it lacks touch control.XPPen's new Gen 2 range comes with some big headline features - not least the boast of offering Calman verified colour performance. After using the new XPPen Artist Pro 19 for a number of weeks for this review, I can honestly say those promises are backed up.
My only slight gripe with the packaging is how tightly everything was pushed in, which I understand, but on removing the pen display this did cause 'drag' which pulled the hard plastic frame away from the display ever so slightly, and needed pushing back into place. Not the end of the world. The lack of on-frame shortcut keys means XPPen can cut the cost of production and offer some startling tech for less than its biggest rival,. It's a choice many non-Wacom tablet brands are making, and the supplied Wireless Shortcut Remote is a good option, and for many it's a design choice that works both ergonomically and in the wallet.

The XPPen styli are very accurate and precise. In my painting sketch I made a point of trying different brush styles, size, opacities and repeated lines - I found I could accurately repeat over the top of thin lines and covered time and again precisely. I also used fabs, small circle motions and broad flat strokes, and each was laid down accurately.It's worth mentioning the size of the display is just right for desktop software.
