7P notes: 22" pen displays compared
Overview
As of June 2024, there are three 22" pen displays to consider buying. All three are acceptable choices depending on your budget.
Wacom Cintiq Pro 22 (DTH-227)
XP-Pen Artist 22 Plus (MD220FH)
Huion Kamvas 22 Plus (GS2202) - my notes on this tablet
Ranking
Note: I personally own all three of these tablets
#1 Wacom Cintiq Pro 22 (DTH-227)
#2 XP-Pen Artist 22 Plus (MD220FH)
#3 Huion Kamvas 22 Plus (GS2202)
The Cintiq Pro 22 (DTH-227) is the clear winner on almost every level. However it is expensive.
If the Cintiq Pro 22 is out of your price range I would pick the Artist 22 Plus over the Kamvas 22 Plus. but to it having a better pen than the Huion and simpler cabling.
Display specs
| Tablet | Resolution | Max refresh rate | Panel |
|---|---|---|---|
Wacom Cintiq Pro 22 (DTH-227) | 3840x2160 | 120Hz | IPS |
XP-Pen Artist 22 Plus (MD220FH) | 1920x1080 | 60Hz | IPS |
Huion Kamvas 22 Plus (GS2202) | 1920x1080 | 60Hz | IPS |
Pens
| Tablet | Pen in the box | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Wacom Cintiq Pro 22 (DTH-227) | Wacom Pro Pen 3 | |
XP-Pen Artist 22 Plus (MD220FH) | XP-Pen X3 Pro | |
Huion Kamvas 22 Plus (GS2202) | Huion PW517 |
The Pro Pen 3 is clearly the superior pen.
The X3 Pro pen is a big improvement from previous generations of XP-Pen pens. The X3 Pro pen is also better than the Huion PW517 pen.
X3 Pro - has wider maximum pressure than the PW517
X3 Pro - has eraser, PW517 does not
Noise
The Cintiq Pro 22 has a fan that is constantly on. It's not loud but it is audible and could be an irritation for some people.
The Artist 22 Plus and Kamvas 22 Plus are completely silent.
