very good product

So I have to say, overall I'm incredibly pleased with the Artist15.6 Pen Display. Is it a good, cheaper alternative to Wacom for non-professional artists? Absolutely. I've only been using it for a few weeks, and overall my experience has been great. I absolutely enjoy using this tablet over my wacom intuos pro small. A Pen Display tablet really makes an incredibly huge difference in the quality of the drawing you produce. Now I do have a few qualms with the tablet, but nothing that would deter me from buying another XP-PEN tablet.So here below are the Pros, Neutral and Cons of the tablet. First off I'd like to note that I do have a hand injury, meaning my drawing experience will absolutely not be the same as your own, and I'm also quite heavy-handed when I draw.Pros:• Not related to the tablet itself, but the shipping was /incredibly/ quick. The product was stated to arrive between Feb 1-Feb 23 and i received it on January 18th.• Instructions are straightforward and clear. If you don't have a CD drive like myself, you can easily download your drivers off of XP-Pen's website. You can also download updated drivers for free, which is a nice plus.• On that note, it also comes w/ a Mac Mini HDMI port for free, which I definitely need for school computers, but I am perfectly fine on my own personal laptop (MacBook Pro 2015). Other wonderful extras include a glove to not let your greasy, very greasy hands muck up the screen, and a cloth to clean said screen. Also additional wires/power blocks if your computer can't sufficiently power the tablet by itself.• Very responsive. Works well with Clip Studio Paint. This was a big fear purchasing the product for me, because a reviewer had said that CSP created "blobs" with the brushes I typically used (the CPS default pens). Turns out it doesn't! Probably due to the new driver update that had been issues /just/ before I received my tablet, nonetheless I was quite pleased.• When they say 15.6 inch. They mean the screen.• No colour calibration was needed, colour on my monitor and colour on the tablet were practically identical.• Pen is battery free.Neutral:• The size is great! Not too big, but not too small. Now the real issue is transportation. While easily moveable around the house, not so moveable anywhere /outside/ of the house. It is bigger then my 17" laptop bag, which makes it a hassle for me to transport. Well, not a hassle, but I generally fear that I will somehow get my lovely tablet wet and that it will never be the same again. Can be easily fixed with finding a bag that works with it.Cons:• As someone who does have a hand injury, the pen is just a giant hassle for me to work with. While they do have accessories where the pen had non-slip plastic and are larger (well they seem), it would have been nice if the pen that came with the tablet itself were like that.• The tablet comes with no stand. While not that much of an issue for me, it just means I have to return to drawing with my tablet on my lap, which is what I do naturally. Still, for when I am not doing that, a stand would have been much appreciated, like some of the other Pen Display models.• Not a huge fan of the sensitivity, it makes all of my brushes kinda small, so I have to press incredibly hard to get a nice line thickness. Even if i try to adjust the sensitivity, I can't do much. Not much of a con, but more of an annoyance to me. I've worked around it a bit, but when I forget it gets kinda've annoying.So yeah, I love this tablet and hope to have it longer than my intuos pro small that only lasted me two years because there is a known defect within the intuos pro series where the USB B wire literally sucks and breaks. Hope you do better, XP-PEN Artist, the bar is set incredibly low.

i'm a left handed writer and i'm having multiple problems with this hardware.1- I can't duplicate this monitor with my main one. It will cause issue, pen alignment will be reversed on the tablet.2- When I try to press with the pen on X to close a program, the cursor go all down. I understand what is happening and it's an issue that will occur only for left handed.3- Can the software driver be left handed user friendly??? It is not.Please XP-PEN, update your drivers adequately for me and other left handed user. I'm almost obliged to set the tablet for right handed. I never had this issue with Wacom, even their old Cintiq models.

Great results for the price. Everything works well. The screen is perfectly sufficient for my needs, but it isn't super exciting compared to higher end displays. No real complaints.UPDATE - The driver for this tablet is awful. Doesn't work half the time you plug it in. Pen will detect but display won't register. I have tried everything to fix it and it just doesn't work. Extremely frustrating to sit down to get to work and you have to spend 30 minutes restarting your computer and unplugging / replugging in the stupid device to get it to register. When it works its pretty good, but when it doesn't it is incredibly aggravating.UPDATE 2 - I contacted support and they sent me a new cable for free. This fixed the majority of the issues. Score updated.

I actually really love this - after a day and a bit of owning it - but there are a couple of things I need to point out - first, you'll need to calibrate the colour: right now the colours I draw with are one colour on the tablet and noticeably different on my main monitor. The other thing is there's no stand, just rubber pads for laying flat on your desktop. I got a cheap stand and it's awesome.Otherwise, I'm very happy. I had to futz around with a couple of apps to figure out which one i liked the most - Krita didn't work for me - I could draw one line but the moment i picked up the pen it stopped drawing. There were pen pressure issues in Sketchbook Pro at first, but once I reset the preferences and enabled Windows 10 Inkspace, things were better. Photoshop was great but for my needs it is just too complicated, so I'm sticking with Sketchbook Pro for now.I like that you don't have to charge the pen, and I like that you can rotate the tablet any way you like and change the orientation within the setup app, but i don't care much for the fact that if you unplug and turn it back on you have to reset the orientation every time.TLDR: It's great, you can use it any way up you like, the pen doesn't need to be charged, it works with most drawing apps AND doubles as a nice second monitor - just figure out your colour calibration and you're laughing.

I was reading reviews a bit before purchasing and people seemed to complain a lot about drivers and other issues.Make sure to always download latest drivers and restart your computer before use, for pen pressure, just tweak the software, you never need to apply as much pressure as other reviews indicate.I payed 340$ for this tablet, and I'm a new artist, trying to learn to draw, I didn't want to spend over 1800$ for a Wacom, this is great if you're like me, screen brightness is good, color calibration looks great, IPS panel, no battery pen, a glove, multiple adapters. It's an amazing deal for anyone.I will be recommending this to a lot more people in the future, thank you for making this affordable and easy for new artists who want a monitor tablet.
