Display experience
Anti-glare sparkle
RATING: VERY GOOD. Low amounts of AG sparkle.
Maybe just slightly more than the Cintiq Pro 22.
Similar to Huion Kamvas Pro 19
Pixel sharpness
Pixels are relatively clear and well delineated.
The look is clearly sharper than the Huion Kamvas Pro 19 which has a soft look that some people don't like.
Design
Really does look like a larger version of the XP-Pen Artist Pro 16 GEN2
Drawing experience
Pen pressure
XP-Pen states these numbers for X3 Pro pens
IAF: 3gf
Max Pressure: 400gf
In my testing with the pens that came with the tablet
Subjectively, 3gf seemed about right
I measured the max pressure at around 250gf.
Pressure transition
Moving between low and high pressure cave smooth pressure transitions.
Accuracy
XP-Pen states:
Center: ±0.4 mm
Corner: ±0.8 mm
RATING: VERY GOOD.
My experience matched the accuracy numbers XP-Pen provides.
Parallax
VERY GOOD.
On par with Cintiq Pro 22 and with Huion Kamvas Pro 19.
Tilt compensation
OK. Minor displacement at 45deg
Pen tilted left -> 1.8 mm displacement
Pen vertical -> ~1 mm displacement
Pen tilted right -> ~0 mm displacement
Pressure scan rate testing
RATING: VERY GOOD
Drawing 50 strokes as fast possible results in no lost strokes.
Diagonal wobble
Rating: GOOD low amounts of diagonal wobble.
Just a little more than the Huion Kamvas Pro 19
About the same as the Cintiq Pro 22
A little less than the XP-Pen Artist Pro 16 GEN2
About the same as the Huion Kamvas 13 GEN3
About the same as the XP-Pen Artist 22 Plus
Surface texture
As is typical for etched glass surfaces, there is a slight surface texture.
