7P notes: Xencelabs Pen Display 24 (LPH2412U-A)

Overview

I AM CURRENTLY EVALUATING THIS TABLET. MY CURRENT EVALUATION IS BELOW BUT MAY CHANGE AS I USE IT MORE.

Hover distance

Rating: TYPICAL. I measured it at 10mm.

Edge & Corner accuracy

Rating: VERY GOOD.

Extremely accurate at edges and in corners. Among the best I've seen.

  • Better than Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 (which is also VERY GOOD).

  • Clearly better than Huion Kamvas 24 Pro 4K (which is TYPICAL)

Anti-glare sparkle

Rating: VERY GOOD. [LESS IS BETTER]

Slight AG Sparkle only noticeable when eye is ~4" away from glass or closer. At normal drawing distance not visible.

  • On par with Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 (Which is GOOD).

  • Clearly better than with Huion Kamvas 24 Pro 4K (Which is OK)

Color modes

  • AdobeRGB

  • sRGB

  • REC 709

  • DCI P3

  • REC 2020

  • Pantone

  • User mode

sRGB mode

I used this display in only in SRGB mode.

When setting sRGB mode the brightness stayed steady. Some pen displays and monitors reduce the brightness in sRGB mode, but that did not happen with this tablet.

Pointer Lag

Rating: Slightly above TYPICAL RANGE

Comparisons:

  • Wacom Cintiq Pro has a bit less lag.

  • Comparable to but the Huion Kamvas 24 Pro 4K (Which is Typical) - maybe just a little more than the Huion.

Surface texture

Rating: VERY GOOD. It feels really nice.

  • Slightly more texture than the Cintiq Pro 27.

Pen pressure

Min pressure (IAF)

Rating: TYPICAL. Xencelabs specifies 3gf. That felt accurate. Typical for a non-Wacom pen and low enough for me. Wacom Pro Pen 2 min pressure is <1gf.

Max pressure

Rating: VERY GOOD

I will be measuring this soon. But overall it feels like 400gf or 500gf.

  • Wacom Pro Pen 2 has higher max pressure at 800gf.

  • Huion's PW600 and P600S pens have a comparable max pressure of 500gf.

  • XP-Pen pro pen has a comparable max pressure of 400gf.

Diagonal wobble

Rating: WORSE THAN AVERAGE

Currently seeing a lot diagonal wobble at both slow and medium drawing speeds that requires smoothing to reduce.

Due to a recent change in GitBook the clicking on the image below no longer opens the large version where you can see the differences clearly. I am working on a workaround.

Driver

Driver UX

Rating: EXCELLENT

The best user experience and design of any tablet in the industry.

Multiple tablets on same computer

The tablet driver does work correctly if multiple Xencelabs products are plugged into the computer at the same time.

I tested with these tablets plugged in at the same time:

  • Xencelabs Pen Display 23

  • Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium

Pen

Pens in the box

This tablet comes with two pens:

  • Xencelabs 3 Button Pen V2

  • Xencelabs Thin Pen V2

That these pens are different than the one that comes with the Xencelabs pen tablet. And the pens are NOT swappable.

Pen buttons

This new 3 Button Pen V2 is an improvement from the old V1 pen. The buttons are more prominent and easier to tell apart by touch.

Pen eraser

Both pens have an eraser. But I don't user erasers so I have no comment on them.

Fans

No fans.

Noise

Completely quiet. No noise.

Heat

After leaving it on for 3 hours with brightness set at 100%, the surface has a slightly warm feel - close to body temperature.
