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.
