Just got it today, and thank god finally a cheap drawing display but an exceptional quality. Totally worth the money. And also my hardwork at a fastfood chain finally paid off

Hello 👋, I am considering buying it so , can u please tell me ur review after a while of using it ? And does it fit a laptop backpack 15.6 insh with the laptop of course if u tried it ? 🌝
Thanks for this in-depth review! I'm really happy and satisfied with my 13.3 pro. It's really worth the money and the size is just right for me and my workspace :D
Nice review, just waiting for it. I was the one who asked for test on cursor offset when tilt. So many thanks for doing this test; i love you 3,000! Previous models of those chinese brands have that offset; fortunatelly this is not the case. Tilt functionally seems to work correctly, despite that zone not recognizing pen tilt. So, this is the tablet i must buy. Thanks again.
I want to get one this will be my first drawing tablet truth be told i am not great at drawing by any means like i still don't really get perspective or form however my motor skills have improved a good amount. But i like the idea of drawing on a tablet more then on paper since you can do so much more all in one area without art stuff all over and it seems more colorful overall. So yeah maybe in 3 months or so till then i will keep drawing on paper.
I bought an artist 13.3 pro and I've been using it for 12 days with no issues,now the pen is acting up. It constantly keeps on double clicking everywhere even if I hover over an app,it opens it. I tried all solutions (uninstall/reinstalling drivers, restating my computer) found on the website and they refused.
WARNING: quite a long comment but for a short answer just read the first sentence. I also wrote this in 2:30AM and I'm not a native English speaker so prepare if there's any grammar or spelling error. In terms of design xp pen has the upper hand but in terms of performance i would say huion is better. Xp pen isn't so bad in performance and should be pretty workable but huion is better in performance. I also noticed that huion seems to have better pen accuracy but as i have neither tablet and this based on observation so I'm not so sure if this can be resolved by calibrating the pen. Xp pen's flaws for for me in first impression would most definitely be the price being 15-30(usually 20) dollars higher than the huion kamvas 13 stand included or 60-70(mostly 60) dollars higher without the huion stand with the kamvas 13. And then the xp pen stand only has one angle as you noticed in the review which can be easily resolved by buying another stand but that would conclude to having to spend more money. Also if you're planning on the xp pen because of it being able to be used without plugging in an adaptor, I'm not sure if this also applied to the artist 13 pro but in the innovator one (don't have it) when a reviewer unplugged the adaptor the brightness decreased by 50% at max brightness. Also the artist 13 pro has poor color accuracy despite its high srgb (especially teal/cyan(i forgot)) i haven't been able to check on huion kamvas 13's color accuracy as no one pointed out out yet but i heard it was leaning on the warmer side which could be adjusted with the color settings. Also I'm sure you probably know that xp pen can change shortcuts depending on which program is used, huion kamvas pro 13, 13 (2020), pro 16, 20 and 22(2019)(pretty much any model in 2019-2020) can do that too. Also the cables, huion has an L-cable so it's slightly more durable than xp pen's straight cable. In conclusion, i would say, xp pen's selling point is the design(dial, and pen case/stand combo) and huion's would be the performance and it being cheaper. In multiple reviews I've seen people composing about how the xp pen pen needed more pressure to activate a click/stroke and as for the huion it seems pretty sensitive and it's expected as huion has the better IAF(basically the amount of pressure needed to register a click). Xp pen tablets also seems to have SLIGHT problems in tapering (as seen in this blog review that i very much trust: digitalarttabletguides.wordpress.com/2019/09/29/xp-pen-artist-12-pro-review/ digitalarttabletguides.wordpress.com/2019/03/15/xp-pen-artist-15-6-pro-review/ ) But as i said it's very slight and isn't actually a problem that much so forget that. Also cool tip: if you need more shortcut keys get a number pad, Change the shortcut commands to numbers and BOOM, a good alternative to the wacom and xp pen shortcut remote except without the dial Neutrals would be: -the long nib on xp pen and the shorter nib on huion (i prefer the long nib but it might cause problems in responsiveness), -color accuracy (might not wanna get xp pen if you use blue a lot), -the stand (if you don't mind low angles and ok with just one angle or your planning on buying another stand), -the cables (if you dont care about it just exclude in your pros and cons) -Price (if your poor or don't have much of a supportive family but still willing to, might wanna get the kamvas 13) -dial (you can live without that but it does make it easier but only VERY SLIGHT. But if you animate then thats 10000% gonna make your life much much more easier) -feel of shortcut buttons (xp pen seems much more nicer to touch than huion)
@@rin7836 I had the same experience with my kamvas 13. I am going to return it. The cursor drift is very inaccurate and makes it very difficult to do anything accurately. Basically impossible to do line work. From your comment, it seems the XP-pen is just as bad. Also in the video at 5:45 the dift is clearly shown on this xp-pen tablet. Pressure sensitivity on the huion is amazing so I am torn to have to return it.
Hello, your reviews are amazing. Thank you! I only have 1 question, this tablet has the option to been set up for left handed? The keys location is what worries me the most.
Amazing and relaxing review as usual, makes me wanna buy immediatly. Cuzco i wanna buy one with screen, but cheap, and with really good quality , and with high pressure sensitivity. Is it better than Huion Kamvas pro 13 ?
Nowadays with such pen displays, the drawing performance is quite similar among different brands. You can check out the list of pros and cons I've written on my text reviews at parkablogs.com
Thanks. It's minor so I'm just gonna leave it alone. Sometimes I do too many retakes that I forget to check those segments more carefully while editing.
Don't buy, my girlfriend bought one and had conection problem with macbook, she tried to get another one or refund but the company are not responding for 3 months and the problem continues no money and no pen display
Hi there Teoh, great rewiew. I have noticed that you have tested Xp-pen 15,6 as well, could you please tell me which one is better 13,3 pro or 15,6 (not the newer pro version)? Thank you in advance.
@@teohyc Thank you! Same price, but 15.6 has no stand, no anti-scratch surface but has parallax... but yeah larger display. That's why the decision is hard.
There is firmware update for it on the xp-pen site. Not sure, haven't gotten to such details yet, but maybe it would help with some of the issues mentioned?
You are amazing, Teoh! So knowledgeable and capable of sharing even the most sutble characteristics of technical information. You are a teacher, ceo, sage and your lucky numbers are: 6 32 19 😁
The variability on the Xp-pen is the reason why I got a Huion Kamvas pro. The contrast and color range of the screen seems inferior to most other tablets, possibly due to their attempt at using laminated glass for the texture coating. The responsiveness is very good and is excellent when using a program like clip studio. My only regret is not getting a larger screen as the vertical screen height is not as generous as I would like.
@@teohyc okay., Umm...Can you make a comparison video between huion kamvas 13 and Xp-Pen artist 13.3 pro, I see there are some viewers who ask the same thing in the comments
Okay very nice informative review...👍 but if you were me what would you take wacom one of xp-pen artist 13.3 pro...their prices are very very similar 😐I'm confused which one should I get...?
As far as I know wacom one pressure sensitivity is only about 4k and you have only one pen button to customize. I'm not sure about the performance comparison.
Hey. I just got my Artist 13.3 Pro. I am new to this but I draw a lot. I have a question i would like to ask. Do I need to use the Adobe illustrator, or can I use another illustrator app. It's a lot of money monthly and yearly.
Hello, I'm thinking of buying this but I have some questions about the display. What is the screen used for this display? TN or IPS? Is it flicker free? I'm not sure how you test this, but I read somewhere before that it's by dimming the screen to lowest brightness setting and then filming the screen on a mobile phone. If it flickers, you will see moving lines on your mobile phone. If it's flicker free, the image will be completely solid.
Would there be a portable windows solution simioar to this form factor? I know that there are some lenovo ones right? I wouldn't really like to see a windows tablet with a pen that didn't use batteries and could be hidden inside the tablet like an spen. The Samsung notebooks are crazy expensive and not worth th money at all
For low budget, it's between the XP Pen Pro models Vs the Huion Pro models. Both equally good. Just go for the one you think looks nicer. Or get the one with the less glossy matte screen protector
I just bought this for my son who is turning 15. Can you recommend the best drawing software that is good for someone who has never used a drawing tablet before?
@@teohyc Thanks for the quick reply! But, could you be more specific? is it 1kg perhaps? Laptops can vary from less than 1kg to 3kg so "lighter than a laptop" is a bit unclear. Do you think this would be too heavy to carry with a laptop?
Hi, Im getting display tablet that works well, and probably has less glitch when drawing in Krita, and Medibang. do you recommend Xp Pen Artist 13.3 Pro ? or Huion Kamvas 13 ? Thanks
May I ask is the Report rate important? This 13.3 pro report rate is 220 rps , higher than 15.6 pro 200 rps. I'm a bit confused which one should I get. Thank you
Could you tell me how you got Krita on the artist pro screen, did you need to load it up on pc and then drag and drop the window on the screen? I see files on yours?
@@teohyc Lol, it isn't that simple for me. I have downloaded it and installed Krita, but to have it displayed on my artist pro I need to drag and drop the window from my laptop to my artist screen. It doesn't load onto the screen by itself. I spoke to the xpen tech support and they told me to do it this way. I was wondering how does yours load?
@@teohyc It doesn't work that way, tech support said krita doesn't work like that and you need to drag and drop. Could you show me because I'm quite confused. He said you need to have xpen set as monitor 2 in extended mode. The manual states this as well. I can't see your laptop and no one who does a review shows this step of setting up the monitors, I follow the manual guide and tech support states the manual is correct. All the reviews gloss over the icky bits of set up, monitor set up ect. I can't have them duplicated as then my xpen works but everything displays on laptop, I can't have it set like this unless I see. I'm quite frustrated I've never had this problem before. I am using Windows so this is obviously different as you are using mac. th-cam.com/video/5YsQaofAiHw/w-d-xo.html This is the video XPEN texh support sent me to watch.
@@sneakylittlebeastie01 Yes I can drag the krita program onto the artist display and this works fine, I just wanted to know if everyone has to do this.
I’m debating between getting this or the XP-Pen 15.6 Pro as a gift for my friend. Price isn’t an issue for me, but for reference the 15.6 is currently on sale for $319.99 and the 13.3 is $254.99. Which would you recommend?/Is worth the money?
Hello Mr Teoh, I've bought my XP Pen artist 13.3 Pro today, but when I plugged it in they say No Signal. I tried every way to solve it, following the instructions doesn't seem to help... I followed it ans it still ended up the same, No signal. Idk what to do.
Comparing the initial activation force which would you say is more sensitive for light sketchers this or the latest huion 16 pro? You showed us here a stroke doesn't start with just pen gliding over the surface how is that with the huion please? Everytime you start over I'm always like: Huh? Did I fall asleep for a sec? Some matrix stuff going on xD.
Huion and Xp-pen still use the same Oem digitizer ... i think they just re-brand it and make a proprietary driver for it . On old models you could find always the same "Uc-Logic digitizer" i don't know in these last models but the performance are pretty much the same . This products are almost on pair with wacom btw if you don't have a cintiq pro to the side for comparison you will not feel the difference i assure you . For my tastes if you really have a light hand you will not find anything better than the ipad pro with apple pencil or the old grip pen from wacom on a cintiq 27qhd maybe . Even the new pro pen need a little more activation force with standard setting but you can make the pressure curve in the way you like more than it's not a problem . you can't do the same on Huion and xp-pen unluckily ... you can only choose some pre-configured pressure curves but the standard setting are not so bad . The only bad thing of these alternative in my opinion is the driver . It's stable and lightweight but it's too simple ... it lack a lot of features .
Hi Teoh, thanks for the detailed review, it is really helpful. I am just wondering if this pen display compatible with my old MacBook Pro (10.13.6) and Adobe photoshop CS6? Thank you
Just got this tablet. Really great, but I have one problem: clicking. I find sometimes if I click a new layer, it will register many click. This is a bit frustrating... has anyone encountered this? Anyone have a solution?
It shouldn't work like that. Try clicking a folder to see if it selects the folder, or (double clicks) to go in the folder. If so it could be a faulty pen and you should contact XP-Pen
What do you mean when you say "You have to connect this to a computer"... Did you mean connect it to a computer for setup ONLY or connect it to a computer EVERY SINGLE TIME?
@@Eliddinn O really... so basically it just relays information from the PC display and add the edit capability (via Pen)... the Wacom tablet is not like that Yes? sorry I am trying to buy 1 for my kid and I am currently researching for these. I want something portable (No PC needed) is there something like that... again is Wacom a good choice, or there are also model that is same as this. If so, what should I look out for... What SPECS should I look for, for a portable drawing tablet. Thanks and Happy New Year.
@@zbatevp-vlogs610 Yeah you can't use this without a PC, the tablets that don't need a computer are more expensive i've found as they have to have the whole computer inside them.
Question: Hi! How did you get the software to show on the tablet, and not on the MacBook Pro computer screen? I am using Clip Studio Paint, but it keeps mirroring both MacBook Pro computer screen and Xp-pen tablet screen. I would like to watch video tutorials on the computer screen while I paint on the tablet screen. Any suggestions?
Hi I was wondering what is it that you do when the screen is small for it’s display. I can’t seem to find out how to go full screen it’s always stuck at half size. Do you know of any ways you can fix this and if so please I’d greatly appreciate it.
Well when I first got the tablet the display wasn’t full screen. I’d say around 6 out of the 13 inches was usable and the rest was blank. So I believe the resolution is shrunk but out of all my research I haven’t found a solution.
Strange. Try to set the pen display as the only display and use Windows settings to change the resolution. Or see if there are any driver settings to change. Lastly contact the company and see what they say
Actually I found this issue and solved it, thank you for the info on the video every minute of it was helpful. I truly appreciate it. My pen seems to have a lot of issues and I’ll have to deal with it for now but later I might resort to paying for a new more advanced tablet that suits my standards and meets my goals.
ok soooo i been looking for some cheap display tablets that i can use for school and take it with me to school and other places would you say that this is easy and fast to carry around?
hey i just buy it 2 days ago but, my xp pen screen is already get an error, the pressure is not good and when I'm not even touch the screen there is line created, even worse is when I draw with pen the strokes get weird and there is many lines that I don't even create, do you have any tips to help?
@@teohyc ah yes i was finally able to get it fix. I change the nibs and it doesnt work, so i try to turn it off for 10 hours. And when i open it again it was worked as good as before. Thankyou for responding
Hi guys, I need comparison between XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro and Wacom One Display Tab. I have watched both of review video from this channel, but i still can't decided which one is better. Please help me. Thank you.
AliExpress is really good, the official Xp-Pen store is on there too, customer support is nice and you get guaranteed refunds if you ever have a problem but personally I haven't had any issues with expensive purchases.
@@yegelroiryuraparias7597 dude just buy from lazada, i got it on the 9.9 event and it cost me php13990 and also there might be another sale on nov 11 so if you want to buy it better not miss it
I have an issue with my board where the lines I am drawing lag after a few seconds, and I have to wait for them to catch up to the point where I stopped drawing. Is there a way to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, and I have tried setting the Smoothing for brushes in Photoshop to 0% but nothing has worked. The board was working fine when I got it a few days ago so I don't know what is causing this annoyance now. I haven't changed any settings and I really need to sort this out as I do commission artwork as a little money-making hobby. Can you or anyone else here suggest anything to me that might help?
@@teohyc It has been happenig in Photoshop exclusively. It is the only program I use for drawing. Should I consider trying another painting program before taking further action?
Would love to send you my Dell Canvas 27 to see if you experience the same line fish hooking that I do as well as doing a review of it. I have tried everything and have basically given up on it.
@@teohyc depends on your definition of slow. I draw somewhat fast but not blazing fast. Draw too slow on any tablet and then you deal with shaky lines. I've tried different pens, drivers and nothing resolves the problem. Worse yet, Dell support of this device is non-existent. It's really a shame to be honest. A 27" space to create and I cannot use it.
Hey Yi Chie, would you consider using Expresii to show the tilt? Like in this review of Surface Pen alternatives, you can actually see 2-degree-of-freedom tilt angles of the virtual brush: th-cam.com/video/wvUkdOviHug/w-d-xo.html

Okay very nice informative review...👍 but if you were me what would you take wacom one of xp-pen artist 13.3 pro...their prices are very very similar 😐I'm confused which one should I get...?
As far as I know wacom one pressure sensitivity is only about 4k and you have only one pen button to customize. I'm not sure about the performance comparison.
Can we use affinity designer?
Can this tablet be used for video editing? Thanks for the review! :)
It can.
Teoh Yi Chie thanks for the reply! May I ask, can the display also act as a second monitor?
@@Katiedoan88 It can.
Teoh on Tech thank you! :)
Hey. I just got my Artist 13.3 Pro. I am new to this but I draw a lot. I have a question i would like to ask. Do I need to use the Adobe illustrator, or can I use another illustrator app. It's a lot of money monthly and yearly.
There are free drawing software available. Check out Medibang Paint Pro and Krita. Or get Clip Studio Paint desktop app (one time purchase).
Hi, i dont know wich to buy, this, or kamvas 13 pro, what do you think? thanks
Is there a way to buy another spare cable for the tablet? Incase it gets damaged?
They do sell spare cables from their online store
@@teohyc 😭oh my god thank you so much! I've been looking for it, for quite some time
Hello, I'm thinking of buying this but I have some questions about the display. What is the screen used for this display? TN or IPS? Is it flicker free? I'm not sure how you test this, but I read somewhere before that it's by dimming the screen to lowest brightness setting and then filming the screen on a mobile phone. If it flickers, you will see moving lines on your mobile phone. If it's flicker free, the image will be completely solid.
How do I change the brightness level?
Would there be a portable windows solution simioar to this form factor? I know that there are some lenovo ones right? I wouldn't really like to see a windows tablet with a pen that didn't use batteries and could be hidden inside the tablet like an spen. The Samsung notebooks are crazy expensive and not worth th money at all
There are the Lenovo Miix and Surface Pro, and some other brands and models I don't remember.
can you use your fingers for touch too or only the pen? :)
It's not a touchscreen
can we use our hands to zoom in and out like we do on ipads?
No. Not a touchscreen
@@teohyc thank you :)
How are you panning/horizontal-vertical scrolling the drawing area?
Make comparison to huion kamvas 13 pro and let us know the best to buy under low budget. Thanks
For low budget, it's between the XP Pen Pro models Vs the Huion Pro models. Both equally good. Just go for the one you think looks nicer. Or get the one with the less glossy matte screen protector
@@teohyc Thanks for early reply.
Can be connected to android phone?
if u have to chose between this tablet or the 15.6 pro model, which 1 would be your option?
I prefer larger so 15.6. It also depends on how much table space you have
@@teohyc but apart from that, any other difference in how they work?
@@daviddelvado5526 Not really. I like the larger size because it feels less restricted. It's like drawing a larger vs smaller piece of paper.
@@teohyc thank you very much for your time
I just bought this for my son who is turning 15. Can you recommend the best drawing software that is good for someone who has never used a drawing tablet before?
Medibang Paint Pro, Sketchbook Pro, Concepts
@@teohyc thank you very much!!
Hi sir! Does it have a screen protector? Since the screen is already laminated, do you still recommend putting a screen protector?
The matte screen protector is already pasted
i like how he forgot to edit the video at 7:51
I need help I can’t calibrate me stylus I can only use a mouse on bother monitors
Does this product work with Chromebook?
How heavy is it? Considering of carrying this with my laptop...
Slightly lighter than laptop
@@teohyc Thanks for the quick reply! But, could you be more specific? is it 1kg perhaps? Laptops can vary from less than 1kg to 3kg so "lighter than a laptop" is a bit unclear. Do you think this would be too heavy to carry with a laptop?
@@etj1237 Lighter than similar sized 13.3-inch laptop. It's like carrying another lighter laptop.
Good job
Hi, Im getting display tablet that works well, and probably has less glitch when drawing in Krita, and Medibang. do you recommend Xp Pen Artist 13.3 Pro ? or Huion Kamvas 13 ?
Thanks
Those two have very similar drawing performance so you can choose based on other factors, e.g. shortcuts, price, warranty, design, goodies included
@@teohyc Okay, thank you.
May I ask is the Report rate important? This 13.3 pro report rate is 220 rps , higher than 15.6 pro 200 rps. I'm a bit confused which one should I get. Thank you
It's not that important.
@@teohyc Thanks a lot, then I'll go for 15.6 pro.
Could you tell me how you got Krita on the artist pro screen, did you need to load it up on pc and then drag and drop the window on the screen?
I see files on yours?
Just download and install it
@@teohyc Lol, it isn't that simple for me. I have downloaded it and installed Krita, but to have it displayed on my artist pro I need to drag and drop the window from my laptop to my artist screen. It doesn't load onto the screen by itself. I spoke to the xpen tech support and they told me to do it this way. I was wondering how does yours load?
@@bittersweet82 You need to set the XP Pen screen to the primary screen, and your laptop as the 2nd screen.
@@teohyc It doesn't work that way, tech support said krita doesn't work like that and you need to drag and drop. Could you show me because I'm quite confused. He said you need to have xpen set as monitor 2 in extended mode. The manual states this as well. I can't see your laptop and no one who does a review shows this step of setting up the monitors, I follow the manual guide and tech support states the manual is correct.
All the reviews gloss over the icky bits of set up, monitor set up ect.
I can't have them duplicated as then my xpen works but everything displays on laptop, I can't have it set like this unless I see.
I'm quite frustrated I've never had this problem before.
I am using Windows so this is obviously different as you are using mac.
th-cam.com/video/5YsQaofAiHw/w-d-xo.html This is the video XPEN texh support sent me to watch.
@@sneakylittlebeastie01 Yes I can drag the krita program onto the artist display and this works fine, I just wanted to know if everyone has to do this.
I’m debating between getting this or the XP-Pen 15.6 Pro as a gift for my friend. Price isn’t an issue for me, but for reference the 15.6 is currently on sale for $319.99 and the 13.3 is $254.99. Which would you recommend?/Is worth the money?
15.6 seems to be quite worth the money at that price.
Hello Mr Teoh, I've bought my XP Pen artist 13.3 Pro today, but when I plugged it in they say No Signal. I tried every way to solve it, following the instructions doesn't seem to help... I followed it ans it still ended up the same, No signal. Idk what to do.
My guess is the cable connection is not good
Comparing the initial activation force which would you say is more sensitive for light sketchers this or the latest huion 16 pro? You showed us here a stroke doesn't start with just pen gliding over the surface how is that with the huion please?
Everytime you start over I'm always like: Huh? Did I fall asleep for a sec? Some matrix stuff going on xD.
Even with Huion, you'll still need to apply a bit of pressure to get the line
@@teohyc I see, and which one would you say seems better for light sketching or are both the same in this regard? Thank you very much :).
Very difficult to tell the difference really unless comparing side by side. But even so it's difficult. They are very similar
@@teohyc Thank you very much!
Huion and Xp-pen still use the same Oem digitizer ... i think they just re-brand it and make a proprietary driver for it . On old models you could find always the same "Uc-Logic digitizer" i don't know in these last models but the performance are pretty much the same . This products are almost on pair with wacom btw if you don't have a cintiq pro to the side for comparison you will not feel the difference i assure you .
For my tastes if you really have a light hand you will not find anything better than the ipad pro with apple pencil or the old grip pen from wacom on a cintiq 27qhd maybe . Even the new pro pen need a little more activation force with standard setting but you can make the pressure curve in the way you like more than it's not a problem . you can't do the same on Huion and xp-pen unluckily ... you can only choose some pre-configured pressure curves but the standard setting are not so bad . The only bad thing of these alternative in my opinion is the driver . It's stable and lightweight but it's too simple ... it lack a lot of features .
Hi Teoh, thanks for the detailed review, it is really helpful. I am just wondering if this pen display compatible with my old MacBook Pro (10.13.6) and Adobe photoshop CS6? Thank you
It should work with CS6
Does it work with windows 11 tho?
can i ask about multi display cant detect this product，can any ways to solve it😢i already try two laptop multi display still cant detect this device。
Not sure what's the problem. Contact XPPen and ask
@@teohyc its ok now ，but can i ask if it was connect now，if i open video on chrome didnt have any voice it is normal
@@leafyyap The display does not have speaker. If there's no sound, it's because of some OS settings
Xpen 13.3 pro vs xpen12 2da gen ? Please
Just got this tablet. Really great, but I have one problem: clicking.
I find sometimes if I click a new layer, it will register many click. This is a bit frustrating... has anyone encountered this? Anyone have a solution?
It shouldn't work like that. Try clicking a folder to see if it selects the folder, or (double clicks) to go in the folder. If so it could be a faulty pen and you should contact XP-Pen
What do you mean when you say "You have to connect this to a computer"... Did you mean connect it to a computer for setup ONLY or connect it to a computer EVERY SINGLE TIME?
This is just like a monitor so it always needs to be connected to a PC to use it.
@@Eliddinn O really... so basically it just relays information from the PC display and add the edit capability (via Pen)... the Wacom tablet is not like that Yes? sorry I am trying to buy 1 for my kid and I am currently researching for these. I want something portable (No PC needed) is there something like that... again is Wacom a good choice, or there are also model that is same as this. If so, what should I look out for... What SPECS should I look for, for a portable drawing tablet.
Thanks and Happy New Year.
@@zbatevp-vlogs610 Yeah you can't use this without a PC, the tablets that don't need a computer are more expensive i've found as they have to have the whole computer inside them.
@@Eliddinn I'm currently looking at Huion brand... looks like they have cheaper standalone models...
How do you set the dial to brush size? I tried in Artrage 5 and cant figure out. Best regards.
Usually brush size shortcuts are [ and ].
Question: Hi! How did you get the software to show on the tablet, and not on the MacBook Pro computer screen? I am using Clip Studio Paint, but it keeps mirroring both MacBook Pro computer screen and Xp-pen tablet screen. I would like to watch video tutorials on the computer screen while I paint on the tablet screen. Any suggestions?
Does it need to be connected with a laptop
Yes
Disappointed to see they hiked up the price, it's now 349 but with the summer discount it's 314
how well does it work with illustrator?
Works fine
some people saying bad about gradients on this screen while using windows pc.
Hi, Teoh!
Is it possible to find a usb hub for MacBook Pro 13 2017 to connect this tablet?
That USB hub just needs a HDMI. It should be easy to find
Can this be used on Chromebooks. Also, can you use this without plugging it into another device.
Not that I know of. There is no driver for Chrome OS
Hi I was wondering what is it that you do when the screen is small for it’s display. I can’t seem to find out how to go full screen it’s always stuck at half size. Do you know of any ways you can fix this and if so please I’d greatly appreciate it.
Not exactly sure what you mean
Well when I first got the tablet the display wasn’t full screen. I’d say around 6 out of the 13 inches was usable and the rest was blank. So I believe the resolution is shrunk but out of all my research I haven’t found a solution.
Strange. Try to set the pen display as the only display and use Windows settings to change the resolution. Or see if there are any driver settings to change. Lastly contact the company and see what they say
Actually I found this issue and solved it, thank you for the info on the video every minute of it was helpful. I truly appreciate it. My pen seems to have a lot of issues and I’ll have to deal with it for now but later I might resort to paying for a new more advanced tablet that suits my standards and meets my goals.
ok soooo i been looking for some cheap display tablets that i can use for school and take it with me to school and other places would you say that this is easy and fast to carry around?
Yes
hey i just buy it 2 days ago but, my xp pen screen is already get an error, the pressure is not good and when I'm not even touch the screen there is line created, even worse is when I draw with pen the strokes get weird and there is many lines that I don't even create, do you have any tips to help?
Sounds like there's something wrong with the pen. There should only be lines when the tip touches the surface. Contact Huion.
@@teohyc ah yes i was finally able to get it fix. I change the nibs and it doesnt work, so i try to turn it off for 10 hours. And when i open it again it was worked as good as before. Thankyou for responding
I'm considering getting this but i don't know any apps for drawing any recommendations? (I'm on chromebook hp and not quite sure what to do.)
Not sure if this will work with Chromebook. But if it doesn't, you can consider Android drawing apps like ArtFlow, Medibang
@Teoh Yi Chie Okay! Thank you.
Hey can i animate in this tablet?
You can
Do Adobe Illustrator works on this?
Yes
Hey Teoh, what is the best and cheapest graphics tablet?
Not sure. Maybe you can compare XP-Pen, Huion and Parblo products on their websites.
@@teohyc Do they have photoshop?
@@Theforeveraloneguy Photoshop is not free
@@teohyc I mean one that has an hd display so I can see what I'm drawing instead of looking up at the screen all the time.
Can you use it with Samsung Galaxy Note 10+'s dex mode?
I have seen other pen displays (such as wacom one and huion kamvas 13) being used this way through a USB hub
Yeah, it should work with Samsung Dex via USB-C.
@@teohyc all right, thank you! Great video by the way
Hello guys, I just bought the 13.3 and it heats on the zone where I rest my wrist, anyone having this problem? It's my tablet?
Should I buy this or the Wacom one?
The xp pen artist 13.3 is more cheaper and have more funcionalities but the wacom is veey nice for the price and the quality
Hi guys, I need comparison between XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro and Wacom One Display Tab. I have watched both of review video from this channel, but i still can't decided which one is better. Please help me. Thank you.

WHY DOES IT LAG SO MUCH U ARE LITERALLY CONNECTED BY CABLE I NEVER UNDERSTAND IT
Thanks for the review. Can anyone give me a legit on line shop to get this item.?
AliExpress is really good, the official Xp-Pen store is on there too, customer support is nice and you get guaranteed refunds if you ever have a problem but personally I haven't had any issues with expensive purchases.
Either XP Pen store or Amazon www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VPHR6GD?tag=artprdus-20 www.storexppen.com/
Thank you guys. Unfortunately it cant be shipped here in the Philippines 😭
@@yegelroiryuraparias7597 dude just buy from lazada, i got it on the 9.9 event and it cost me php13990 and also there might be another sale on nov 11 so if you want to buy it better not miss it
Thank you guys. Surely ill get one.
I have an issue with my board where the lines I am drawing lag after a few seconds, and I have to wait for them to catch up to the point where I stopped drawing. Is there a way to fix this? I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, and I have tried setting the Smoothing for brushes in Photoshop to 0% but nothing has worked. The board was working fine when I got it a few days ago so I don't know what is causing this annoyance now. I haven't changed any settings and I really need to sort this out as I do commission artwork as a little money-making hobby. Can you or anyone else here suggest anything to me that might help?
Is it specific to Photoshop? Have you tried Medibang Paint Pro, Krita?
@@teohyc It has been happenig in Photoshop exclusively. It is the only program I use for drawing. Should I consider trying another painting program before taking further action?
Keyfur There’s something about Photoshop that always seem to produce lag sometimes. I’ve not seen other software lag like Photoshop
This or Huion Kamvas 13.3 Pro?
They have very similar drawing performance. You've got to compare the list of pros and cons I have on the blog www.parkablogs.com/tags/pen-display
Would love to send you my Dell Canvas 27 to see if you experience the same line fish hooking that I do as well as doing a review of it.
I have tried everything and have basically given up on it.
Even when you draw slow there's the fish hook?
@@teohyc depends on your definition of slow. I draw somewhat fast but not blazing fast. Draw too slow on any tablet and then you deal with shaky lines. I've tried different pens, drivers and nothing resolves the problem. Worse yet, Dell support of this device is non-existent. It's really a shame to be honest. A 27" space to create and I cannot use it.
I love my wacom...

Hey Yi Chie, would you consider using Expresii to show the tilt? Like in this review of Surface Pen alternatives, you can actually see 2-degree-of-freedom tilt angles of the virtual brush:
