7P notes: XP-Pen Artist 16 GEN2 (CD160FH)

Overall

Overall decent tablet for an entry level 16" pen display. It does have a a very a noticable amount of diagonal wobble. Normally I don't recommend tablets with this much diagonal wobble. but since it can he worked around, it might work well as a budget choice.

Diagonal wobble

HIGH. Diagonal wobble noticed at at most drawing speeds. Can be handled with application brush smoothing/stabilization.

The wobble is present even in fast strokes (10cm/s) which is very unusual for a pen display. Most pen displays only have visible diagonal wobble (and usually much less) at a slow speed like (1cm/s)

Brad Colbow demonstrates the wobble with fast strokes here at 7:04 in this video: https://youtu.be/4czV7jv9mPg.

Anti-glare sparkle

LOW - maybe on the high end of low

Noise

Totally silent

Heat

Cool on the left side. Warm on the right especially near where the USB-C ports are.

Ports

2 USB-C ports on the right side. Both are recessed into the tablet.
