Great review. Actually showing the drawing in real-time instead of a sped-up time lapse (like every other youtuber), helped me picture what it would feel like if I used it too. Good tips on the windows ink setting too

I bought the 12 Pro several months ago for right at $175 when XP-Pen had a sale. I have always preferred traditional media so I was worried I would regret the purchase, but the display is fantastic and has really gotten me into digital art more.

OMG thank you so much I'm so confused about choosing The 12" or 13.3" and now I have my answer.

Thank you so much for the reviews! I'm an old-school trained grafic designer and allways wanted a interactive screen, so every time I googled the different options, the first video to show up where yours, and they really helped me to choose between the lots of different types and brands (by the way, I will take this one here XD)

This is the most informative review for these tablets! A lot of other reviewers just chucked numbers but you actually made useful comparisons that actually matter!

More in depth review than the other videos I watched. Thank you Teoh!

thank you for this review! I find that your videos are very in depth and allow for me to understand what the whole experience with a tablet would be like! :)

Excellent review - answered all my questions. Thanks

Thank you so much! Amazing review ❤️

Great review. Really sold on that 12 now. Thanks man.

man i love your reviews

Excellent review as always. 👍😀

omg thank you SO much I'm a very paranoid person so this helped me with a lot of my questions

*The shadow feature "malfunction" at edge of the screen is NOT a malfunction at all.* If you look more carefully, you can see that the 90 degrees rotation only happens AFTER the initial shadow tool actually MEETS and CROSSES the edge of the screen - so you CAN actually paint **whole screen with same shadow tool orientation**, up to the edges, using the full gradient range (going from 100% color darkness to 0% darkness). Look exactly at **14:40** and further in the video to see exactly that moment explained to you. Therefore, I wonder, after the margin of the shadow tool **touches and goes beyond the physical edges** for example with half of the tool length, what should be rendered, in your opinion ? Maybe a shadow having the range of 100% darkness to 50% darkness, or maybe a 50% to 0% instead, or worse, something in between but just half in length, or even "compressing" the same full gradient range between 100% and 0% to just a half length? Nope. That would be even a greater mistake. Therefore, to solve this potential error, in order to not break the gradient range, the software decides there to turn the angle with 90 degrees. If you still don't like this functionality, you are free to use the hand picking tool, move laterally the canvas, work your shadows as usual, then probably cut the final picture or erase any extra stuff at the edges to still keep some lower darkness in the edgy outline of the picture, if truly needed. Other than that, an excellent review ! Thanks !

Just ordered the 13 pro. Thanks for the help 😁

Thank you!! I bouth it, the 12 inch one, there was a christmas sale and it retailed at 199 dolars... and I can't buy things internationally that cost more than 200, so it was perfect! and it works awesome, it's my first drawing tablet and I'm so happy, thanks for your reviews, I really trust your input. In photoshop cc 2019 and windows ink activated works excellent, illustrator brush tool gave me a little trouble, but it might be my computer too, and it's not the best software to use the brush anyways. Thank you :D

Hello! Thanks for the review, was really useful for me. I noticed that you didn't used the tablet in a vectorial drawing program, it's normal... But I want to ask you if the tablets have some kind of glitches in Illustrator or Animate CC, I have a XP-Pen Star 05, old model that seems nobody noticed, but when I'm drawing vectors, the tablet starts doing ancle points without I'm putting the pencil on the tablet, just starts drawing random ancle points if I had the pencil near, also in Animate it starts doing stains of ink without having the pencil touching the work area... So if you can prove, specially the Artist 12 pro, in a vectorial drawing program an see if this happens, It would so useful for me. thank you!

Is there a paper-like screen protector that can be used on the 13 pro...since you said the surface is slippery?

Great review. I personally prefer the 16" (15.6") models. They give just the right amount of space to draw on and are still portable enough.

Good morning from Chicago I am a self taught artist looking to purchase my first digital art pad and this model speaks to me.

Which tablet do you consider better the xp pen 12 pro vs the xp pen 15.6

hi! thanks for the review. is the 13.3 version a better purchase than an ipad (non-pro) with apple pencil? it would be a great help if anyone could answer thanks :DD

good review, but I would like to know if I can I use artist 12 pro with Android, did you test it? thanks

i think the tilt problem (14:40) happen because the tilt box is bigger than the screen space between the pen cursor and the toolbar. so its maybe because of the drawing software.

I like that the pen tip almost has a fine lead pencil feeling to it, but capable of various sizes/weight/texture of lines

XP-Pen Artist 12 vs huion kamvas 12 which one is better and we need vedio of comparison thanks

Is this matte texture a screen protector like the kamvas 13 or is it embedded into the glass? Asking because I found the kamvas 13’s strokes to look very dull and pixelated.

Hey, what's the difference between xp pen artist 12 2nd gen or artist 12 pro? And which is better??

Great review, as always! Do you think you will also review the XP-Pen Artist Display 22R Pro, when it releases in December?

I plan on getting a tablet and I just have a couple questions. Do you need a computer? What drawing app is best to use?

I just got mine but the pen is not sensed when it's moved near the edges of the screen. Not just tilt is not sensed, but even the cursor doesn't move and this makes me not able to press any buttons or menu items near the edges of the screen. Teoh, do you encounter the same problem?

Thank you for the good review. I'm left-handed, its possible to wrap the device like in Wacom products driver, in order to use the hardware keys in a more productive way? (for all left-handed like me..)

This looks like a very professional tablet. Thanks for reviewing this. I do have a question as I'm new to the world of digital arts. I understand to use this, it must be connected to a PC. Does the quality of that PC need to match the tablet in terms of resolution? I would like to use on the go & i like the price of all the xp line, but at the moment i don't see myself in need of a hefty computer as I look forward to use for vector type stuff on illustrator/Photoshop. Thanks.

Can anyone explain this? 2:29 what's the difference? Which is better? By how much?

I wonder if I should buy this or the Huion kamvas 13. So many choices.

Ey sir just wanna ask if which is better huion kamvas 13 or xp pen 13-12

Thank you for sharing. I am thinking of getting my first tablet and hesitating between 12 pro and 13 pro. Do you think pro 12 is big enough for occasional painting purpose (amateur I am😂)? Since Line friends edition is too cute and xp pen official has a promotion on it for the moment making it more affordable for beginners. 😁

Small display tablets always seem weird to me because I’m not used to drawing with my wrist

hello, i couldn't decide on either to get the xp-pen artist15.6 pro or the 13.3........ please help me ;_;

So guys, which one do you think i should buy better? The huion kamvas pro 13 or the xp pen artist 13.3 pro?? :")

Hello , thanks for you reviews they are always a useful guide to me , but there has been this question regarding "Activation Force" bothering me , is this tablet really requires an effort to draw a small line on the screen like will it cause wrist pain through time for light sketchers , and is it like the force on using a bamboo wacom or better because that is what i use now 😟?? thank u

Hey! Just wanted to let you know that "Content" part is always very helpful :)

When you press the pen nib on the screen does it retract into pen itself because I had that with the huion and I'm thinking of getting this but not if the nib Retracts because it doesn't feel natural

How heavy/weight would you say the 15" screen is?

I love this overview of both tablets. These are so much cheaper than the Wacom, but are either good for lefties?

Is the 12 pro too small, i think it would be worth it to buy the 13.3 pro but i cant find it where i live so i would need to pay extra to get it.

Sir, Why pen of xp pen doesn't make impreaaions properly

thank you for test. What would you choose between XP-PEN ARTIST 12 PRO and HUION KAMVAS Pro 13 ?? It seems the xp-pen is better

i always wanted to get a Graphic pad, but does it also work as a second screen for other functions? Like Videos or other programs?

do we have the 2nd gen comparison?

I can't find the driver for the latest Mac 14.4

i got 12 pro as well... not bad

11:53 & 14:35 any solutions to this problem? Or did they fix it via firmware? It should be fixable tho. Thinking of getting 15.6" size.

Should I get the 13.3 pro or wacom one? Ive used different company tablets before and I only felt quality on my wacom intous, however trying to upgrade to a a screen tablet. Wacom one is more expensive tho and has no hot keys. But im worried about durability and performance

hi im not sure what to get Artist Display 13.3 Pro (13.3 inch) or the HUION 2020 Kamvas 13

any solution on offset?

My 13.3 pro doesn't seem to work on Mac but works perfectly fine on Windows, When i installed it on my mac book pro, the screen on the tablet glitches like an analog TV with no signal (White Noise). Already tried uninstalling and installing different version of drivers. Im using Mac os Catalina.

Hi I’m thinking of getting one and I’m planning to use it with both Mac and Windows device. Is that going to cause a problem with drivers?

Still kinda torn between getting the 13.3 for larger screen size or 12 for the nicer texture to draw on :/

Hi, for this tablet do you need a computer or is just like a tablet you can take anywhere.. ? is for my son

9:25 this is John Lennjn!

I just got the 12 pro onr 3 days ago and i loving so far its so good, but i got a few problem like its was slow lil bit but not that bothering and sometime the button who supposed to zoom doesnt work sometimes its boring but its fine

My son just got this and sometimes it erases and other times he can draw. We cannot figure out why it has him on pen and other times on eraser. Do you know?

My mom just bought me this for my birthday and it just arrived! Sadly i wont be able to use it till then 🥺❤️❤️ but this review helped me a lot! ❤️❤️❤️

Hi you keep saying that the tablet needs to be connected to the computer. Sry, I mean isn't a laptop which runs on Window 10 is the same as a computer. So, I can connect the tablet to my laptop, right? Pls advise, tks.

Can I use a USB-C to USB-C connector? Is it purely HDMI only? If so, will an HDMI to USB-C work? Edit: On the Artist 12 Pro, I mean

Sigh... I don't understand why we have these graphic tablet devices that are so thick when we entire computers like iPad and Samsung galaxy tabs ain such so thin form factors? I want an iPad Pro or Surface Pro Form factor and screen quality with Wacom drawing functionality. One can dream I guess. Excellent video as usual by the way. Thank.

hey, does it have like drag screen using 2 fingers?

So is the difference only at the size? 12 and 13.3

Would the xp-pen 12 pro work fine on clip studio paint with the surface pro 6?

Do you have to switch pens or they universal?

Can the tablet run on lower resolution (like 1280*720), or is it stuck in 1920x1080?

When will these companies will reduce these huge bezel. The 13 inch then will be a 10 size.

Can the screen be disabled? And use it as a graphic tablet?

Can this tablet use with Samsung dex?

Good video but im unable to get pen pressure in Adobe illustrator although its there in the pen tablet settings. So frustrating after re-installing the driver software dozens of times :(

If I get it should I connect to pc.....?

I wash it was a tablet as I can use it even at bed but this one needs ur laptop always

Does anyone the artist for the boxart?

Is a computer required for this tablet?

Can it connects with laptop?

Can you get illustrator on it

where you buy?... please link..

What is the problem

these both are not standalone?

Can it connect to Android?

Can you do animation on this? My daughter loves drawing and animating and she wants an iPad pro, which is why I'm here.. if you can do animation on this, it might be for her because it's a proper drawing tool. Unlike the iPad which is multimedia. We don't need any more phones or tablets in the house.

Does the 12 Pro work on Windows??

18:58

i’d buy the 13 pro over the 12 pro but it seems too big to fit inside my backpack 🥲
