For now: XP-Pen and Wacom. (I may explore others in the future to compare) If you have the budget go for Wacom, if you want to save money but still want to have a REALLY HIGH QUALITY product, go for XP-Pen, I'm super happy with XP-Pen and will probably keep trying future models. For best product as I say on the video: If it's for Desktop, go for the Artist 22 PRO or 22E PRO - I'm in love with this product and using it a lot! If it's for traveling no doubt the 15.6 is amazing. TIP: Make sure to check out my other review for the 15.6 it will help you decide. Also, don't forget to check out the links for ALL the details of each product, specific price and when available I update Coupon codes. I hope that this is helpful, Good Luck! :)

@@AlonDan How is the tablet still holding up, because trying to get information on life span for these things i'm finding very hard. Since everyone just reviews then kinda just stops using it. And since I do animation as well, and starting to build into that 8 hours a day work flow. I feel if its still holding up for you after what has been about 8 months at this point. Then I'd say it's pretty good quality. Because right now this seems like my best option, other than saving the extra money and getting a cintiq. Also side note, how well does it operate within opentoonz?

​@@ALegitimateKZfaqr Good point and great question! let me share my experience, it's going to be long... grab some snacks, here we go: 🙃 This issue also bother me when I watch Review channels, the problem is that most of them are reviewing a product and move on to another one in few days and that's it, I can't get information of many thing related to how long they work while using! not just sitting there... To your question: I'm still using both of the models I reviewed earlier, they serve me well! I have no issues so far and my average work hours with the these are usually 12-16 hours sessions (as mention on my video I'm killing it unlike the average reviewers). But I must me honest here, I'm also using Wacom Cintiq Pro for many years at the studio and no doubt these are the top of the top, I can't compare because it's already too long. My point is: if you NEED the features of the Wacom Cintiq *PRO* models and you have the budget, go for it! BUT! If you do not have the budget and the current features of the XP-Pen Artist 22 or 22E (my favorite is the 22E now because I use the express keys a lot!) *I highly recommend* you to go for one of these XP-Pen model if this will serve you, it is much affordable, no doubt but it is up to what you need. If you can afford a Wacom Cintiq Pro model and you truly need such hardware, go for it! for now.. most of my work is done with the Artist 22E at home, and at the studio I use the Cintiq. OpenToonz + XP-Pen Models: The main reason I don't use it is because it is VERY unstable, it's randomly crashes a lot and that's why I can't recommend using it for commercial or series projects. I actually produced a full cartoon with an older model and OpenToonz did support the XP-Pen Artist HD: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qLB5qrxlvbCmoIE.html *BUT!* I did had LOTS OF ISSUES with OpenToonz as it crashed a lot while making a complete short cartoon and this was super annoying to me, and I got back to work with Toon Boom Harmony as I'm using it for many MANY years and love it. I don't see any reason why OpenToonz won't work with XP-Pen they're always updating their drivers so there should be no issue but again, I'm not using OpenToonz anymore so I may not be the best person to ask. I made this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bb9kq6SAxpawfJ8.html and the other cartoons after using the XP-Pen 22E which is currently my favorite model. I may try other models and brands when I'll have the time, and if I will I'll share my mind on a video to see how good they are, not as a reviewer but as an animator! *I highly recommend* you to have a look at the description links and look at the details and current price which updates from time to time. Sorry for the super long answers, I hope that this helps a bit.

@@AlonDan Thanks for the response, good to know it's still holding up. Since once I finish my novice works before the end of this year i'll get myself a proper tablet. And this one from what i can tell was the best budget one, incase i can't save up for a higher end cintiq like a 24. As for opentoonz, i use it because free and very capable. Plus i'll possibly buy the actual toonz software down the road (since that's still a thing, last i looked), since it has many features that work great for someone like me who does a mix of digital and paper animation.

@Alon Dan I enjoyed your review or well thoughts on this tablet was nice I've been currently looking into getting a monitor tablet I just wanted to ask why your links go to the 22e version and not the tablet you have in this video?

Thank you for your kind words! I appreciate it.

Glad it helped! I'm not using Toon Boom for a long time now. Actually, I'm using a new in-development software, I'm not sure when but I will update about it in my socials in the future as it's still in development.

Once you go Screen-Tablet, there is no way back! Just saying 😍

You're welcome! :)

Naz Aragon just for a future refrence Thx means thank you so Thx you would be thank you you Not hating or being rude I just don't want someone else to hate or be rude to you next time :)

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Glad it was helpful! :)

I don't know the brand you've mention but I'm still using both the Artist 22 Pro and the Artist 22E Pro almost every single day. I'm killing them with my intensive workflow and nothing broke, no issues, everything is awesome... but this is my personal experience. :)

Thank you kind Sir!

Glad I could help! this is why I do these videos :)

Thanks! To be honest, I never had any issues with any of the XP-Pen models. For example: In this model their coming from the bottom back of the device and you can pass them threw the hole of the stand if you like so the are never in your way. I use it on my desktop as my main models: Artists 22 PRO and the Artist 22E PRO (with the express keys). I didn't try Huion brand yet so I can't say if it's an issue or not. I hope it helps, have a great day! :)

Glad I could help :)

You're welcome :)

Thank you, I'm glad you liked the review. Funny thing, I'm actually using a Laptop from Lenovo these days as my travel PC. In my case I use Windows 10 but I don't think there should be an issue as long as you have free USB and HDMI slots for the XP-Pen, it should work. Please notice: this is from my personal experience, so I can't guaranty how it will work on your system, I just don't see any reason for this to not work, should be fine! I hope this info helps a bit :)

Hi There, First of all, I want to wish you a Happy New Year and good luck with your new business! For your question, think about it just like any other screen/monitor that you would connect to a computer, so if you take the drawing / digital pen features out, you have an extra screen! (a high quality IPS) BUT! it doesn't have to be your main monitor, it could be your secondary screen so if you're not using it for drawing, you can turn it off and keep working on your PC. In my case it is my 4th monitor, when I'm not working with it is closed, when I need it, one click and I turn it on, super simple and easy to work with. So if your computer supports more than 1 monitor connection (using a graphic card such as Nvidia GTX / RTX or AMD one) you can connect it as an EXTRA monitor. I hope that this information helps a bit.

@@AlonDan thank you very much for your quick response!!! It actually helps me a bit to understand how this device works. However, I still have the doubt if I can use this tablet without being connected to a computer at all. Thanks again!

You're welcome, Yes, you must connect it to computer, but you don't have to use it all the time if you're not drawing. It is a screen. not a computer. that means: if it's not connected to a PC how would you see what's on the computer? it works just like any ordinary screen/monitor + it's special digital pen features. Sorry about my bad English, I hope it's more clear now.

You can put how many software you like on your PC. The tablet is just a screen it has nothing to do with space or memory.

This model only based on the digital stylus (Pen)

You're welcome! :)

Yes pls! I'm also interested it will be great to see what a pro like you recommend for 2020!

I never needed to calibrate any of my XP-Pen models during the years because it came perfectly calibrated out of the box, but I had to calibrate both of my Wacom Cintiq when I install them. that's why Calibration is there for us users so we can use it in case it is needed and it's easy to do.

It's up to you and your level / budget I've made a GREAT video about it, and it should give you an idea what you should invest your money on: ✅ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrxonJNpkqe3naM.html

Marko Lazov I used 22E before I used the 22E Pro and 22Pro models, compare the old 22E (non-Pro) model. The pen feels better, the screen is more clear-sharp-colorful and the new drives support both sides means individual 16 buttons instead of 8 buttons mirror (same on both sides) Basically the 22 Pro is almost the same as thr 22E Pro, I made my latest cartoon: "Fortnite" with it and it was MAGIC!😎

Yes, this is how I use it on my lectures and presentations. You can either make the device control other monitor (like normal non-screen tablets) Or, if your software support it, you can actually "mirror" what you draw show on other monitor at the same time which is great. I hope this helps a bit, good luck! :)

Hey There, To be honest, I didn't have a chance to use Huion or other alternatives yet so I can't compare, but the older XP-Pen models (none-pro) I used had screen protectors. this model doesn't come with one that is why the glass is more reflective. As I mentioned for me it wasn't an issue as I focus on the creation process and not noticing my reflection I believe it is a matter of focus. Also, as I mention on the video the glass material feels great compare to the other models I tried, not sure what they did there... magic? Pro-Tip: If you want to keep the screen smooth and safe for many years, do what I do, replace the nibs when they become sharper. it's not that they will scratch the screen but it feels better and also safer. I recommend to do the same even when using a screen protector. I hope this helps. :)

Thanks a ton for the quick reply!! Yeah I heard that xp-pens 16 pro also has a really good feel on the screen. I'm glad they got rid of the peel-off screen protectors haha. Ooh yes totally agree! I actually DID scratch my cintiqs surface with my pen nib, lol, ok I admit, didn't change the nib for... years xD Well I have two scratches on the middle of the screen now and learned my lesson: Change the tip once it feels... sharper! xD thanks again very very much, I'm so glad you released this review :D

Uh another question! Does it bother you that there are no shortcut buttons? And what do you use to compensate for that lack? Your normal keyboard? Some special gaming keypad or something like those shortcut-things wacom offers?

You're welcome :) It doesn't bother me much, because I'm used to work with my left hand on the keyboard for shortcuts and right hand with the pen. *BUT!* honest as always: I'm really happy to have extra shortkeys on the screen itself for a much faster workflow. That's where the *Artist 22E Pro* comes in! Just to be clear: It's almost EXACTLY the same design as the *22 Pro* I talk about on this video, *SAME Features* but have the extra shortkeys and of course a higher price for people who really need such feature, such as myself. My Advice: If you can't afford the 22E Pro, I recommend to go for the 22 Pro, again: same feature, cheaper, no express keys. If you want to speed-up your workflow, I HIGHLY recommend to spend the extra money on the 22E Pro, no doubt! I can't promise when, but I will probably mention the Artist 22E Pro in a future video, so stay tuned and consider subscribing for extra content. Hopefully, sharing my personal experience and opinions helps a bit. 💜

Sorry for the late reply, I didn't try the model you mention so I can't compare something I never actually tried. My reviews are based only on what I personally experienced as I mention in my videos and not just 1 or 2 single drawings other tech-reviewers does. I'm actually pushing whatever model I use to it's limits for longer amount of time and longer sessions so I can see for myself how good it is and only then I share my honest opinions on the video base on that. :)

Since it's a very common question on my private socials. In the future I may (can't promise) do a full PC / Laptop dedicated video for 2D Animation Production with my personal Hardware + Software recommendations. But for now let me try helping you with some basic specs: - First thing I would recommend is to make sure you're using: Windows 10 / 11 Operating System (since it's what I'm using and it works) - For laptop or Desktop PC, I'm using different computers but the device supposed to work with no issues with most computers that have: - USB 3.0+ (2 may do the job as well) connections - HDMI support (for best quality + max RPS) - For the newer models (watch my latest review videos) I would highly recommend to have at least one spare: USB Type-C The rest is up to what software you're using for animation and painting since every software demand some "power" most of them are on the same demands and should work fine: - Intel i5 CPU and above (i7, i9) should do the job fine Even older CPU should work (i3 and Pentium) but I can't recommend it for animation as it's not strong enough. - RAM (memory) - The more the better If you have 8GB it's a good start, but I would suggest to get more when possible. - For example: on my Laptop I use 16GB and for most basic 2D Animation projects it's great. On my Desktop PC which I make bigger, more professional animation I have more memory. - You can always upgrade to 32GB / 64GB etc.. if you'll need but I think 16GB is good enough with most softwares out there. - Hard Drives / Solid State Disk - I would HIGHLY recommend to use an SSD for faster work on the software side, but sure you can also work with HDD These are very BASIC recommendations but as I mentioned if I'll have the time to make a video I will go deeper and will point on some examples since I use many different PC's / Laptops for my projects. Sorry about my bad English, I hope that this helped you a little bit. I wish you the best luck and KEEP ON CREATING! Make sure to SUBSCRIBE for extra update in the future. Much Love 💙

Hi There, Thank you for your kind words, I'm glad that my review helps many people even after few years. Let me try answering your question: Yes, I'm still using this model and I'm also using this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNRpqMyQqs28aZc.html from my latest review and to be honest these 2 are my favorite XP-Pen models for now. Based on my personal experience I never had any issues even after few years if using these models I reviewed, everything works perfectly fine! I highly recommend that you'll watch my latest review since it may help you decide what's the right model for your needs, I even show these 2 models next to each other and usually I never compare models. I hope that my answers helped you as much as my reviews. have a nice day! :)

@@AlonDan Thank you so much for answering! Its highly appreciated and is really helping out so much!

Easy, click the links on the description. These are the same models I use with the same pen holder and everything that I show on the video (22 PRO & 22E PRO). These 2 are my favorite 22" models so far, I highly recommend any of them. Have Fun! :)

Hey there, Yes it is an EXTRA screen. i.e on my Desktop workstation setup it is my 4th screen. while on my Laptop it is my secondary. This is what makes it more useful for any workflow: your main screen can act normally, as it always did and your XP-Pen can be your secondary one not just for drawing or painting but in general you just earn another screen to have more things at the same time. I hope this helps :)

@@AlonDan thank you for this veeeery fast answer ! This answered to my question ! Definitely, this is going to be my next tablet ! Once again, thanks a lot !!!

True, some people don't use the Express Keys that's why these 2 models are optional for specific needs, I use both models but to be honest I use a lot of the Express Keys it makes everything faster for my workflow.

Hey there, Yes it is an EXTRA screen. i.e on my Desktop workstation setup it is my 4th screen. while on my Laptop it is my secondary. I hope it helps.

Hi There, For the "Parallax Issue" it's not an issue for me in personal, I explain the same on the other review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q9p9iqqDx8XIias.html I feel exactly the SAME on this model, it doesn't bother me at all. it may for others who look on it instead of actually create and work, but that's my opinion. It works great on both Photoshop and Toon Boom Harmony from my experience. I hope it helps a bit.

Hi There, I'm afraid I can't help you since I never heard of this brand, sorry. :(

I still use my 24" and it's my favorite model (for now) feel free to check out my review about it as I still feel the same about it.

@@AlonDan thank you so much for your reply! I am now 100% convinced this is the tablet for me. Have a great day!

Hi there, As I mention on the video, the main difference are the express keys and the price of course. I hope it helps, good luck :)

I don't notice the cables at all, they are sitting there and I never mess with them (why should I?) they never bothered me. I didn't try Huion brand yet so I don't know about their issues and I can't compare to this model.

Glad this video helps you! I'm using both 22E and 22E Pro (with the Express Keys) and they are great. I'm not sure about streaming, but YES you are getting an EXTRA screen so it may help you in so many things, also for video editing and any other multiple-monitor supported software, I'm using 4 Screens so I'm used to such work flow especially in animation and video composite and edit.

hi! did you purchase this display? if so, would you recommend it?

What a great question! I highly recommend you to do 2 things: 1 - Watch my latest video about the subject where I recommend which device a person need and I explain WHY, it may help you: ✅ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rrxonJNpkqe3naM.html 2 - Make sure to subscribe because I will do my best to announce something related to ANIMATION as soon as I'll have the time, you don't want to miss this 😉

Hi There, Yes currently all XP-Pen models needs to be connect to a PC some others could also support connect to other devices with Android, but the main need is a PC with software to use. Just like any Monitor for PC is a must, think about this one as an advanced one with digital pen and IPS high quality colors and the rest of the features I mention on the video.

Hi There, glad you enjoy the review. Yes the glove can be used for Right or Left-handed :)

Devil's Advocake I didn't try kamvas yet, so I can't tell.

I don't know about others, I know that I'm still using this model and the 22E Pro (with the express buttons) for ALL my animation, video editing, compositing, and even music compose and mixing and had no issues since I have the item. I never had to calibrate the screen, it came up centered out of the box. I can't say why some people didn't like the product all I can say is that I'm in LOVE with it and the rest of the models I talk about on my channel (all of them) are ONLY I can trust when it comes to intensive hardcore workflow such as mine, like I mention in the video not just for drawing or painting with all the respect to other tech-reviewers. BTW - I'm a Wacom user for many years, believe it or not even they have issues with Drivers, but a good company can update the drivers and fix issues, I just didn't have any drivers issues with XP-Pen with all the models I worked with so I can only share my personal experience, not sure about the others. Anyways I hope it helps good luck! :)

Alon Dan Thanks for the really long answer, appreciate it!! I think maybe the driver problems will already be solved by now because most of the reviews are from february so... btw do you maybe know if the 15.6 pro also is able to work in after effects and premiere pro? considering it’s just the smaller version of the 22Epro

there is a huge microsoft surface that has a built in computer but its really expensive for the big ones.

Yes it is :)

Hi There, let me try to help you: My personal favorite screen size is defiantly 22" or higher for comfort based on things such as software UI of the software, Hand covers section of the screen while working and so on.. but especially for working hours every session so I would recommend this one or the 22E Pro if you can afford it. I still use the 15.6" a lot when I'm traveling or when I take it with my laptop to business meetings and it's very useful from my experience. Currently for my daily creations I'm using the 22E Pro with the express keys, (see the link on the description for all the details). I like the size, I like the quality and the good built. The colors aren't bothering me as I mention on the video since my priority is the creation process, not color correction / fixes for final master of my projects, for this I use dedicated monitors. I use the express keys a lot! it's great that I can reprogram almost any action for different softwares, it's so easy to do with the latest drivers and I already got used to this workflow, of course and enjoy every second using it. My advice is based on your MAIN goal: if it's a steady workstation as your main priority go with the 22 Pro or 22E Pro but if it's for saving space and traveling, go with the 15.6" or 16". I hope that this helps a bit, have a nice weekend.

@@AlonDan awww you answered the sad part for me is that for now I don't have trusty dedicated monitors :)) just my potato laptop, so thats why the 16" is tempting, but the 22'' is at the same price and indeed as you say it is more comfortable (but no express keys and the color thing) The 22 E sadly gets out of my budget a bit. My main goal is to work a lot ..and get better, so I guess the bigger one makes more sense. thank you very much for your advice :)

Still using it, most of the latest cartoons you see on my channel so far made with: this model and the upgrade version of this 22E Pro that I mention (check the link on the description). I talk about cons and pros on the video, no change, same opinions, I still use it and sometimes my Wacom Cintiq Pro which are more superior of course, but also it's price. If you want to get always the latest model, it's like smartphones it came every few months with few other improvements, there is no ending to new models. I consider to to check out other models and brands in the future since people wants me to check out and share my opinion. Hope it helps, have a nice day! :)

Hi There! As I explain in most of my videos, I don't see parallax as an issue... tech-reviewers always make this bigger deal than it actually is in ANY device. I recommend either this current model, or their 24" which is my favorite so far, here is my review: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qNRpqMyQqs28aZc.html I hope it helps a bit, but better watch my videos for my opinions based on my experience.

Easy, you can use the "Switch Monitor" and you control the other monitor, than you toggle back. I made one of my Express Keys (on the Artist 22E Pro to switch) I think you can do the same with one of the buttons on the pen on both models: the 22 Pro (without the express keys) and the 22E Pro because it's the same drivers. Currently the 22E Pro is my favorite steady-workstation device because I use the express keys A LOT! but if you don't need them the 22 Pro is exactly the same hardware, just cheaper and no express keys. I hope this helps a bit :)

It's up to the software and your skills, the hardware is supportive of pressure sensitivity means you're only limited by your imagination :)

Absolutely!

The *22 Pro* is pretty much glossy as I mention on the video it didn't bother me, But the *22E Pro* (with the express keys) came with a screen-protector installed, all I had to do is to peal the special ticket and that's it, easy pizzy. The screen-protector is more matte so there is no reflection and it feels a bit stiffer for some people, I like using it, others may not because without a screen protector (like in the video) everything feels much better and smoother to draw with. so in overall, both are great from my experience. for some people the glossy reflection without screen protector may bother so it's up to the user I guess. I hope that this information helps a bit.

@@AlonDan Thank you for your reply! Yes, it is helpful for me, I like the design of this 22 Pro, but I have problem with glossy screen, so I won't buy it. Do you know if the XP-PEN Artist 16 Pro has a glossy screen too or other XP-PEN ARTIST display tablet with matte screen? I am looking for a good display tablet

My advice is, if you like it, you can either get the 22E Pro or the 22 Pro and order separatly a Screen Protector, the idea is not just to protect your screen that will hold for longer time but also it makes the screen matte. If you want to have less reflection on the screen, place the screen anywhere that isn't exactly under a lamp, unless you have a screen protector it doesn't matter since it's matte. From my knowledge ALL Wacom Alternatives either come with screen protector pre-installed or without, ALL of them are glossy from what I talked with my colleagues but I didn't try for myself. If a glossy screen is a deal-breaker for you, go for Wacom Cintiq Pro models, that's the only model I know from my personal experience that have matte built-in (Looks like the same level as the screen-protectors on my 22E Pro). I'll probably check and review more brands in the future, but for now I still use XP-Pen and Wacom brands and love both of them, other brands? I may or may not like but I will share my own opinions.

@@AlonDan Thanks again for your reply! I like less the 22E PRO, because there are buttons on the lateral sides, this is one of the details that I like the 22 PRO., I feel it very elegant You mean the Screen Protector, is it just a thin film stuck on the screen?

The 22E Pro is currently favorite steady-desktop model from XP-Pen, I use it a lot! The screen protector is thin, you pealed it from the top and that's it, it's installed and ready to use (you won't need to stick it by yourself risking it won't match or anything, that's the cool part). I would say that the 22E Pro's screen protector is very stable because I still using it and love the feel drawing over it (not everybody likes it). Make sure to check out the link to the 22E Pro on the description to see ALL the details, so you can see the differences from the 22 Pro and of course the current price which may change at any point if there is a special sell. I hope it helps, and great choice BTW, I highly recommend the 22 Pro or the 22E Pro because I LOVE both of them and used them a lot.

Well, too late Parblo. I bought this. I definitely prefer the matte surface cover off. Colors are more vibrant.

Hi There, No, it's not a standalone PC. it's a screen with a digital pen (stylus) technology, it's NOT a computer. You must connect it to either a Laptop or a PC, just like you do with any PC Monitor / Screen in order to be able to work on whatever software you installed on your computer. I hope it helps, have a nice day :)

Yes, it should work with any software that supports pressure sensitivity or just a mouse.

Hi There! I never had such issue before, and I'm not sure what do you mean by connecting the pen to the tablet. but I'm guessing 2 things: 1. Make sure you install the device correctly to your PC using all cables: to your GPU + USB + Power-Cord. If you didn't connect the USB, it won't recognize the Pen, so that could be your issue. 2. Usually the Pens shipped fully charged, But maybe this is a rare case where it didn't So try to charge it with it's special usb-cable. It should take few minutes of charging you'll see a light on the pen, when finished the Pen should work for 3-4 weeks per charge :) If nothing helps, contact XP-Pen's support for help. Good Luck and Happy Holidays!

@@AlonDan ah sorry I didn’t make sense but what’s happening is when I try to draw in the screen using the pen nothing happens and the pen is fully charged!

@@AlonDanoh and quick question but when you first got the tablet and set it up were you able to use the pen automatically or do you have to connect it in some way? Thanks :)

It works great with most softwares that support pressure sensitivity.

Hi There, I'm a heavy user of Wacom Cintiq for many years at the studio and for my personal use, I cannot compare the XP-Pen much to the Cintiq models because it feels different but I can share my personal experience with XP-Pen since I'm using their products for about 3 years now and I'm SUPER happy with the models I review. I would never review or recommend a product which I didn't try myself or I believe isn't good enough. I wouldn't recommend a first-time use a Wacom model since it's about 3 or 4 more expansive from the alternatives and they are almost the same (not the same but very much getting there). unless... you can afford a Wacom Cintiq, sure go for it. For your question: YES! it will be more than just a getting-started display pen, I use it as a pro-animator myself. remember: this is my personal opinion of course. If you have never used such product before and you don't care much for the most expansive brand out there... I can't recommend enough on XP-Pen I'm still using their models almost every single day and very happy with them. Please notice to what I mention on the video as it's from my experience only and my workflow which is usually very heavy compare to a typical digital artist. Just to be clear, at the moment I didn't try other brands other than Wacom and XP-Pen so I don't know about the other alternatives and I will never recommend something I didn't try for myself because it may be really bad. I may cover other models and brands in the future. I hope that this information helps a bit. :)

@@AlonDan It does help a lot! Thanks for the quick response. I think I might pick one up to get me going without spending 1000+.

@@Dylfaras You're welcome! glad I could help.

how is it?

Of course :) Laptop is a computer, you can use any PC that works with the screen's connections / cables such as HDMI / USB

No, It's not a computer, it's a screen with digital Pen. You can connect it to any computer that support it's connection types :)

I don't see any difference or issue with right handed or Left handed, even with the 22E Pro (with the express keys) they are mirrored so you can use either all, or just program those you like. For the 15.6 you can just rotate it and flip it from the driver panel so it should fit for both left and right handed, I hope this helps. :)

@@AlonDan Thank you for the info! 😊

Hi There, on my main PC I have Nvidia GTX 980, but on my other PC I don't have any GPU, both works great, I guess it's up to the CPU and RAM as well, GPU for more heavy filtering and realtime and renders work with 3D. Just to be clear, I'm not using Illustrator but I use Vectors all the time when I animate with Toon Boom Harmony (which is much heavier than 1 still illustration since it's 24 frames per second) and it's running smooth on my machines. I wouldn't recommend to purchase a display screen if you have a really old computer anyway, but from my experience it will work with any modern PC. (not sure about Mac, not using them for so many reasons). I hope that this helps, have a good day! :)

Thank you for fast respond

Hi There Amy, First of all I wish you happy new year and hope you'll feel much better. I agree that in some cases drawing with a digital pen/display like this is easier because that you can adjust the right angle, you don't have to use a lot of pressure (it's adjustable as well) and it's different than sketching on paper or drawing on canvas, but... unfortunately I'm not a doctor, it is just my personal opinion since I use this tech for many years as a professional animator. I'm still using the Artist 22E Pro (same properties + express keys) and very happy with it. and for traveling I'm using the Artist 15.6". These products are built very well and doesn't' feel cheap in any way, that's why I love it so much, it feels like a premium quality product! I can't compare it to Wacom Cintiq quality but compare to the price it is AMAZING! In the future I may review newer models, or other brands but for now I'm still using the 22E Pro as my desktop workstation. I never had any issues beside what I mention on the video which I fixed (related to Toon Boom Harmony) but I can't call it an issue it's more like an adjustment to tweak. Sorry for the long message, I hope that this helped you a bit.

Hi there, it's a tool I used on Harmony, it's not available on Photoshop. this tool is limited for vectors only.

@@AlonDan thanks for the fast response, you don't maybe know of some add-on for ps that does smt similar? :/

@@b3ntastic I don't know about PS these days, but Clip Studio Paint (PRO) has that same cut-feature like Harmony (one of the reasons I switched to it for lineart)

Defiantly! Once I started working with the Artist 22E Pro I found myself using most both: 22 Pro and 22E Pro - the one with the Express buttons because the extra buttons speed up my workflow when I'm animating also helps on other tasks. Not everyone uses the Express keys so the 22 Pro is almost the same, the most difference are the Express Buttons + Price, anything else is very much the exact same thing, that's why I still highly recommended these models for a workstation. (all links on the description) My Tip for you: If you're looking for a non-mobile, more serious "Built-Like-A-Tank" kind of mode, go for either the 22 Pro or the 22E Pro (if you need the buttons). REMEMBER: These are not exactly the same as Wacom Cintiq, doesn't have all the features but at the end of the day it serves the same purpose. so if you're not looking to pay much more at the moment and you have the budget for these models, YES, I defiantly recommending go for it. there are probably other models by now but it's up to your needs and budget. I hope that I helped you a little bit, whatever you'll purchase, I wish you to have fun and take your creation journey to the next level! Much Love, Good Luck and Stay Safe! :)

@@AlonDan Thank you very much! I still don't ned it for super advanced things I want it mostly for college work. I'll prbably get the one with the extra keys if it's not that expensive compared to the other!

Krita

Hi There (I used google translate so I hope I can help) The most change are: in the 22E Pro the Express buttons in the 22R Pro I didn't try it so I can't say exactly but I think it's battery-free. I believe that the rest of the features (colors, resolution, etc..) are the same with all 22E / 22E Pro / 22R Pro but again, I didn't try the R pro, only the 22E + 22E Pro which are basically the same features but have the Express buttons. I hope that this helps a bit :)

It works with any software that supports winINK / Pressure sensitivity. I wouldn't compare it to an ipad, surface, mobilestudio etc.. since they're MOBILE PCs and not dedicated screens. TBH - I'm not a big fan of small screens (smaller than 15") as their active area is tiny and not good for long sessions / big projects, also any mobile-pc I tried before are getting extremely hot and slow over time, while dedicated screen you can connect to almost any PC. - If you're looking for a small mobile PC with stylus support, this is not for you because it's a dedicated screen, not a PC as I mentioned in the video. - If you're looking for a professional alternative to wacom cintiq as a BIG steady Pen-Display / Screen for your workstation I highly recommend this model as I'm using it myself and I truly appreciate it's capabilities. I hope this helps a bit, good luck :)

Congrats! what a great device (one of my favorites for sure!) You do not get any software with it, but you can always download a free one and start enjoying it, Try: Krita it is an open source free advanced painting software, I use it a lot to create backgrounds for my cartoons. For 2D Animation I recommend you to watch this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7qPorB5q56mo2Q.html Don't forget to download the latest version of the Drivers from their website before you start using it. I hope this helps a bit.

@@AlonDan thank you verry much

a great hellp

Sorry for the late reply, You'll have to ask them, I never tried other pens beside the original that came with each specific model.

Hi There, What I show in the box is everything that was included. Are you sure you got the same model and not other of their 22 series? (22 HD, 22E / PRO etc..) if so I don't know what to tell you, maybe they changed the edition. BTW - I never used the USB Disk-on-Key, because as I mentioned on the video: ALWAYS Download the driver from their website, it is the most up to date version and that's what I did on the video, I downloaded it and installed. :) If you think you are missing something from the parts, send an email to XP-Pen and attach them the LINK from where you purchased the model, usually the link will show you exactly what's included in the box. I hope it helps a bit, have a nice day! :)

@@AlonDan thank you for your help and response🙂😃

Never mind it just opened in the background and I didn't notice xD

Glad you solved it, I never had any issues with Drivers so I couldn't help. But just to let you know, XP-Pen have a very responsive support team whenever you got a question or issue, they will help you out asap. I wish other companies had that care for their clients. Keep on creating! :)

There's no reason it won't, should work fine on Windows 10/11 maybe even 7...

I have lots of experience with Wacom & XP-Pen by now. I'll never recommend something that I never tried myself. I may try other brands in the future and share my opinions but for now I can highly recommend either: Wacom or XP-Pen.
