In summary this is a very nice tablet. Wacom Cintiq Pro models are still better (and cost MUCH more) but this tablet is good overall and I have enjoyed using it. As of July 2024, this is my top pick for a mid-range-cost 16" pen display.
RATING: EXCELLENT
I like the overall design. Looks and feels very premium.
XP-Pen logo on bottom of tablet. It's present and visible without being obtrusive.
The tablet comes with the the new XP-Pen X3 Pro Pen. It is incredibly similar in shape to the Wacom Pro Pen 2. The pen handles pressure very well and has an eraser. Many more details here: XP-Pen X3 Pro pen
Native resolution - 2560x1600. This is big improvement over an HD (1920x1080) screen at this size.
Refresh rate - 60Hz. TYPICAL. Normal for pen displays.
Anti-glare sparkle - GOOD. Low amount of AG sparkle. More here: Anti-glare sparkle.
Sharpness - GOOD. The AG treatment does not add any blurriness.
Parallax - GOOD. Little visible parallax.
Aspect Ratio - 16:10. It is a little more squarish than the much more common 16:9 aspect ratio. After using it for a few days, I actually like the 16:10 aspect ratio. To me it makes the tablet feel a little larger than it is.
Single USB-C cable connection?
YES. I tried the cable that it came with and a Thunderbolt 3 cable. It worked in both cases. More here: Connecting a pen display with one USB-C cable
Ports
There are two USB-C ports on the top edge of the tablet. Both ports are recessed into wells.
If you intend to use a 3rd-party USB-C cable, be aware they may not fit into the well.
One minor nit. The USB-C cable connects at the top edge this means you see the cable connect. This is normal for pen displays these days. But it does make the device a little less elegant.
3-in-1 cable
This is NOT provided in the box. If you need to connect via HDMI you will have to order this separately from XP-Pen.
Pointer lag - TYPICAL. Slightly better than normal for a pen display.
Line steadiness - OK. The line have a little bit of unsteadiness when moving slow. I can mitigate that in Clip Studio paint by turning on the Stabilization > Adjust by Speed option and setting it to stabilize when drawing slowly.
Corner accuracy VERY GOOD. Compared to other tablets has very minor inaccuracy at edges and corners.
Tilt compensation - GOOD. Pointer stays close to physical tip of the pen as pen moves through supported tilt range.
RATING: OK. very slightly increase in wobble is slow strokes. Totally acceptable. A little brush smoothing eliminates it..
YES - It has two foldable legs on the back allow it to be propped up at an angle. However, I just use a spare HUION stand for a better angle.
NONE.
This tablet does support the VESA mounting standard. I have used it with several VESA compatible stands.
Thicker toward the top
Thinner toward the bottom
The bottom edge rolls off a bit making it a bit nicer for you hand or arm to rest on that edge.
None. No speakers. No headphone jack.
This tablet does NOT support touch.
Felt cool (room temperature) to the touch at 50% brightness.
Completely silent.
The tablet has no fans.
The tablet comes with a remote with programmable keys.
Tilting the pen within the supported tilt range did not significantly alter the pointer position. It remained close to the tip. I tried this with 3 different X3 Pro pens and got the same result.
In one of the photos you may notice a slight separation between pointer and tip, I think this is mostly due to the position calibration of the pen and not so much the tilt.
I have heard a few comments on my YouTube channel indicating that some people found very bad tilt compensation. So far I believe if there is an issue it is only with a small number of defective units.
