Update: Hey everyone I just wanted to let you all know that I have decided to sell this Pen Display. Not because it started to suck, but simply due to portability. I know in this video I mention that it's still a portable set up but after so many times of setting up and breaking it down it became sort of a hassle. There's a lot of wires and carrying a laptop plus this pen display together can make your backpack pretty heavy. I have since bought myself a refurbished 2018 iPad pro that works great. I'll be using a lot of Clip Studio Paint and Procreate on the iPad but I'm also going to continue using photoshop when I'm at my desk. With that being said, I STILL recommend buying the XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro IF you're in the market for a pen display to connect to your laptop or computer. It's a fantastic device! Here's a link to the video of me talking about my iPad Pro: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aMmJoaaDnb6rho0.html

I absolutely recommend this! If I knew better a few months ago, I probably would've bought an XP-Pen or Huion for my big drawing display. They both are solid brands that are catching up with Wacom's products. She'll definitely love it!

Thanks for the informative review! For me, I'd likely have it easier because: - I use Windows, in which it'll likely just ask me if I want to proceed with the installation of an application from an 'unidentified publisher'. I'm very sure Apple has it harder. - I use an older laptop from 2015, so I wouldn't need a USB-C hub, but I have a desktop PC from 2017 with a single USB-C port, and I wouldn't need a hub there either as I'd be connecting the display output directly into one of the GPU cards I have installed. - I found a used Huion Kamvas 13 for $350, and a used XP-Pen Artist 13 Pro for $350, so it'd be harder for me to decide. (prices in SGD)

@JessieEffendi 3 жыл бұрын

Are you on mac or pc? I currently use my mac to do all of my drawing and the way you do it on there is you go into system preferences > Displays. Both screens should have a display preferences window pop up. Click on the color tab . I have both of mine set on my mac's color profile because I find that Macs are accurate when it comes to color for printing. As for windows, I'm not too sure how to do it, but I think it shouldn't be much different

I plan on getting a screenless tablet, do you think that is a better idea for someone just starting out with pc programs?

@JessieEffendi 3 жыл бұрын

Hmm. I personally never liked the screen less ones but back then they were considerably cheaper than the ones with screens. I used the Intuos Pro for a bit but it took some time to get used to. There are pros that still use the intuos 3 and 4 so I would say you’re definitely gonna be fine! But if you could afford an XP Pen or Huion Drawing Display, I highly recommend it!

@JessieEffendi 3 жыл бұрын

With most creative software, I would personally recommend at least 16gb of ram. As for graphics card, I'm not entirely sure to be honest. All I can say is when I occasionally use photoshop on my old pc build, it has a 750ti and it seems to work just fine.

How you zoom in and zoom out rolate without click the shortcut? And the issue from the slick screen is very annoying or distrub?. What do you thing i f im compared with wacom one. With one the better. I want to buy one of them but feel confuse.

@JessieEffendi Жыл бұрын

Hey sorry for responding late. I like to use keyboard shortcuts over the the buttons on the tablets. The shortcut in photoshop is to hold down z and you can move your pen up or down to zoom in or out. I believe you can change it for other programs like CSP as well. The slick screen you can just get used to. I've never used the Wacom ONE, to be honest. But XP and Huion both have great displays that are a fraction of the price of Wacom.

@LandersWorkshop Жыл бұрын

My only gripe are the pen customization settings. I can't get the custom pen settings on the tablet to save, so it always goes back to default settings. Moreover I can't get export/import to work to try and work around it that way. It really fcks up my workflow and grinds my gears.

@JessieEffendi Жыл бұрын

I'm sorry to hear that! Before selling the XP-Pen tablet, I never customized my pen settings so I wouldn't have any insight on how to fix that issue. It wasn't until late last year that I switched my pressure settings on my wacom, which does save the settings so I wouldn't have to go in and change it all of the time. I'm not too familiar with XP settings anymore unfortunately. I'm currently using a Huion for my portable set up. I might be making a video on that at some point and I'll make sure to look into that setting. But yeah, although these products are great alternatives to wacom, there seems to be something that Wacom does better in a some features.

@JessieEffendi 2 жыл бұрын

Could be a number of reasons: 1) defective product 2) Not enough power from the power source. If you’re plugged into an outlet then that shouldn’t be the problem. But if you’re plugged into your computer directly with the red usb cable it might not draw enough power. 3) Your hdmi cable or hdmi port is broken Those are the things I can think of. If you have another pc or laptop to try it on, you can see if it works there. If you’re on Mac, have you gone through the set up process in the user manual?

It's a 3 in 1. So from the base (usb c connection to the tablet itself) of the cable to the HDMI portion it's about 5.5 feet. And then from the HDMI portion to the usb A connections it's another 2 feet. So in total probably around 7.5ish feet

You either have a defective unit or something isn’t installed correctly but either way if you’re still within the return window I’d recommend exchanging it for a new one or trying out Huion.

Hey! Late comment, but just wanted to note that Adobe, especially photoshop, is notorious for having driver issues for tablets that isn't Wacom, even more so on Windows 10 as Microsoft keeps pushing updates to tablet features/Ink that breaks things. I would strongly suggest doublechecking the tablet in other software, such as Krita, SAI, Clip Studio Paint etc to see. I know for a fact that CSP works perfect with non-wacom brands!

I hear the newer M1 models are incredibly optimized too so it solved some of the heat issues and has a big performance jump. That being said I have nothing against PCs.
