Adam you are just so great at these. Just such lovely filmmaking here. I'm so entranced by the vibe and production value that I had to watch twice to pay attention to the product :) - it looks awesome!
100% and considering how much problems I already had with the proprietary cables from Wacom, I can only appreciate a solution that is not prone to wear and tear!
excellent review. I have the Pro 16 Gen 2 for about 5 months now and really like it. I am a hobbyist so this fit my budget while giving me a good tablet. I didn't have an issue with screen lamination on the 16, it could be something with the 19 being bigger/heavier.
I also encountered the screen popping out in my XP Pen Artist Pro 16 Gen 2. I thought I had broke the damn thing, but like you said, I squeezed it back in and it popped in place. No issue on the performance of the tablet itself. XP Pen is fast becoming the premium tablet that has great value! I use mine when I do work while traveling.
I've been using a Pro 19 for a graphic novel I've been working on. 100 pages into it and I actually love this thing more than I've ever loved my 22 inch Cintiq. One problem is the the drawing angle so thanks for that Parblo recommendation. You might have just saved my back! p.s. this review was SOLID! So impressed with your videography and clear presentation.
I've always loved XP Pen products and have been using the 22 E drawing monitor since 2018 lol... Still going strong til this day! Awesome review, thanks for sharing Adam :)
as soon as u mentioned the lamination issue - i took a look at my cintiq 16 pro and did the same. i used it popped out for a year and a half ahhaha thank you big selling point for me is the ability to use it without power adapter would be nice not to deal with 2 bricks when using with a laptop
Great video as always ! Insane production value ! Did you see that tourbox is releasing a new console compatible with the ipad ? Seems game changer for professional work on it !
Great review. From you and Boro. I´m pretty happy with my inovator 16 but if the day ever comes that I might need a new one, this model defanatly is an option I would considder. The fact that both of you experianced the thing with the display is the only part that concerns me as well. I would love to hear about an update, after a year of use or so, if thats possible.
Hey Adam I commented before on ergonomics as I'm having same herniated disk issue as you, for me having a vertical drawing tablet was definitely the only way, I tried portable devices like the Ipad, and it's too heavy for lower back issues, so I'd recommend to add a portable small wooden easel, or any other kind of VESA mount stand to avoid placing flat on the table. Hope this helps anybody!
Not Adam, but I used my iPad & pen display on a drafting table (beautiful wooden thing) using velcro Command Strips and having it set near vertical. Also had shortcut keyboards, glasses holder case, taped on reference images, and all manner of stuff attached to the thing. The drafting table is now my main artwork display, having attached a cork board to the surface and adding an art bar light along the top. (I had to move somewhere where I could no longer fit the table in my workspace.) It was great for my back because it forced me to sit up higher in my chair.
I have the XP Pen 15.6 Pro, I love it. I want to upgrade to this model, but I'm holding out. Even though it's been 5 years, my 15.6 Pro is still going strong. All I really need to do is replace the screen protector one of these days.
Concerning that little button accessory, you can actually just mark it yourself. Friend of mine put little stickers on the thing, so you know what button is what. Not pretty but it works. She even marked the middle button with a little dot so you always know where you are without looking. That being said, I agree with you that the whole thing feels more like an afterthought. But some of its flaws are easily fixed.
Now that you mentioned the Tour Box again… what are the chances we get more livestreams in the near future? Would die to see you play Elden Ring with that thing 🔥🗡️
@@AdamDuffArt No joke, I saw somebody play it with a kitchen device. 😂 But fanart will do. Technically, just wanted to hint the fact that I miss the fun live streams.
Hi Adam 👋 loved the review but I was wondering if you can take a look at the heavy paint app on iPad. I think it would be cool video 😃 have a good day!
Funny, I just returned the TourBox, because it was difficult to remember what each knob and button did. Also funny, but XP-Pen DOES sell sheets of labels that you can use to mark each button on their remote (though I bought them XP to use them on my Huion KD100 remote). MUCH easier to use than a keyboard because I don't have to have the keyboard set to one side and stretch my hand for particular key combination. The KD100 sits directly to the left on an adjustable iPhone stand at the same angle as my pen display (a Parbo 100), leaving my right hand free to never leave the pen.
Looks like a 120hz display based on the cursor moving around, and some panning. If thst is the case then it is a serious contender. Can you confirm Adam? Thanks for the insight!
The manufacturer never mentions any latency or refresh rate in the specs, so it's 60Hz. They mention a pen polling rate of 220Hz but that number is meaningless by itself.
@@AdamDuffArt Im not sure how Apple does it, but if i go into Advanced Display Settings on my selected monitor i can choose from available refresh modes on all my monitors. 60/120hz on left screen, 60/165hz on my middle screen, 60/144hz on my right screen and only 60hz on my cintiq. (it seems Apple has it here: Choose Apple menu > System Settings (Or System Preferences), then click Displays.)
At this point, if Wacom selling their stuff more than 2000$, better give that a lifetime warranty to their loyal customers because other product brands seems relatable in terms of price pont and quality.
Compared to the XP-Pen Artist Pro 24, which tablet do you think is a better option for long-term use and a one time purchase that covers everything(because if I get it I won’t be able to buy a new one I’m broke)? Or should I wait for upcoming models in the future? Thanks!
Hmm, you might have noticed a bit of latency close up - I didn't feel that when drawing at all - the refresh rate usually plays into that, I'm assuming it's 60hz (although I could be wrong)
It's not smoothing in this case - I don't use stabe when I do line work (kills the humanity of the line work imo) - if you're noticing any lag then that's a refresh rate issue (although when drawing, the lines felt very responsive, so no complaints there.
The problem with every competitor is the pen, do slow lines and everything falls apart, Wacom is still the best... I got gifted the wacom cintiq pro 16, it is without competition as for pen displays. And to be honest will not willfully buy Chinese products, I will not fund any of that where possible.
I had a Wacom cintiq, still had those wobberly lines when slow even with a ruler. Gave in and bought the 27” huion kamvas pro to see if it was any worse. The wobberly lines are pretty much the same. And price wise it was almost half the price of wacoms 27 pro :\
@@Vysukai That may have been a issue with the drivers. Wacom pens and apple's are the smoothest in my experience. Huion is good tho, especially for the price
@@chidorirasenganz Yes and no. They had barrel rotation for at least a decade but they only used it in a secondary pen you had to buy separately making it so basically only Photoshop used the feature. It also has more points of pen pressure but that's really unneeded for the most part

Well Mr Fowler, I am very flattered to get such high praise from you! Thank you :)
You had me at the angled USB cables. They add so much sexy to the specs-y.

What's the refresh rate ?
I have the 16” version of this one and it’s fantastic! I love it!

Nice review and production. Love seeing how far the competitors have come. I already use a Huion and a tourbox.
What's the refresh rate of pro 19 gen 2 ?
Prob 60hz otherwise they’d boast a high refresh rate
as soon as u mentioned the lamination issue - i took a look at my cintiq 16 pro and did the same. i used it popped out for a year and a half ahhaha thank you
big selling point for me is the ability to use it without power adapter
would be nice not to deal with 2 bricks when using with a laptop
Oh really! I’m very surprised that you’d find that on a Wacom display too!
2:00 can confirm. had the same "issue" but on the left side of the screen
Oh really - well it seems to be a pretty common issue then, noted!
This is going to be the Intuos 3 of Xp pen in my opinion. Peak tablet.
Great video as always ! Insane production value ! Did you see that tourbox is releasing a new console compatible with the ipad ? Seems game changer for professional work on it !
Lucas - I reached out to them the SECOND I heard about it.
I’ve had that on my wish list since the first TourBox
When running a 4k screen on mac (tbh any OS) set it to 2x scaling would be the UI sizing equivalent to 1080 but twice as sharp
What's the refresh rate?
@@dhimankalita1690 Regardless of refresh rate that’s what the scaling should be set to

I watched this fully like 3 times
Now you must buy the product 3 TIMES! lol
For stand, xp-pen later will release acs15 stand, which from the look of it, is nicer if you want to make it higher like those monitor mount level..
Oh, good to know! I’ll keep an eye out for it, thank you.

Nice review, Adam! Had to remind myself that I DO NOT need a new pen display haha.
Me too XD
You can never not need a new pen display. Fortunately my bank account keeps me sane
Why thank you Sylvia ❤️ - and your video was amazing (your latest one). You are insanely interesting to listen to

Hi Adam 👋 loved the review but I was wondering if you can take a look at the heavy paint app on iPad. I think it would be cool video 😃 have a good day!
I thought you said you could take this somewhere? How would you draw with this not connected to your computer?
Well, a laptop at least - it’s not a tablet, just a pen display - but you only need a single USB-C to get it up and running
just set a regular pen button to alt+right click for brush size

@@dhimankalita1690 I think it’s 60hz but it comes with 4K display
how does it compare to huion kamvas 19? i just paid $200 more for it
Idk anything but I heard that one has touchscreen

🎉first. Xp pen makes nice products
looks like a lot of latency
He's probably using draw stabilization which gives the effect of 'latency' however in result you gain really precise lines.
