In this video, I will review the Artist Display from XP-Pen available here - https://www.xp-pen.com/ and also will test it in action by making this portrait from blank canvas to the finished digital artwork. So, the main question is - Is this display any good for professional artists and designers. Let’s find out.

This device was delivered in triple cardboard packaging. There was one very big box; the second brown box was well wrapped. And finally, the high quality white box contains the display. The display was also well packed in multiple foam pieces and plastic bags.

Here is the 24 inch Artist Display Pro. It is rather heavy and looks solid. The screen is protected with a removable film. The screen size is rather nice - not too small, and not too big. I think that every professional designer will find these dimensions suitable for digital drawing. The width of the working area is more than half a meter. There will be plenty of space for drawing as well as for software tools. The color gamut is fine unless you have some very special requirements for color calibration. Let’s have a look at what also is in the box. Every item is placed in a separate plastic bag. This attention to detail gives a good impression about the manufacturer. The package contains all the cables and accessories you would need to use this pen display. I especially like the USB option because my laptop comes with such ports only. One stylus is nicely packed in the pen holder. It has no batteries, so it is always ready for drawing. There is an additional stylus, which is really great to have. There are spare nibs in this pen holder as well. Also, there is one drawing glove that you may find useful for drawing long lines with smooth hand movements. There are also a very handy pen slot, the multilingual Quick Guide, and the cleaning cloth.

I will now attach the pen slot to the display. Because I’m right-handed, it would be better to have it on the right hand side. The screwdriver doesn’t come with the display, buy the way. But, I’m sure, you will find one. The stylus fits perfectly into the slot. On the left hand side, there is also a place to attach the slot if you wish.

I will connect the displays to my laptop via the USB-C cable. The display also needs power. Apart from the power input and the USB-C video port, there are also two additional USB ports as well as the HDMI video connection. The built-in adjustable stand is a really great thing to have. It is made of metal, very robust and has several angles, which are very easy to change. There are two rubber rollers on the stand arm. Also, two rubber pads will grip the desktop nicely. It is very easy to move the display on the rollers, while rubber pads anchor it to the desk.

Let’s switch on the display. The colors look nice, although I can calibrate the color settings. To get the full functionality, I need to download and install the driver from the xp-pen.com website. This website is easy to navigate and all the drivers are available for every product. The installation process is very simple and straight-forward. Just follow the instructions.

The XP-Pen driver screen has all the needed settings. You can save, export and import the settings, which will save time if you plan to use different computers with your display. You can set up the working area for both the computer screen and the display screen. There is also the possibility to rotate the display screen at four different angles, and also to select which monitor to be used with the stylus. There is a separate window for pen settings. Here, you can customize the pen’s buttons and pressure sensitivity. Depending on your personal preferences and drawing style, you can adjust pressure settings as you like. The pen is very sensitive and responsive. Another window is dedicated to the shortcut keys. This is a really powerful feature of the XP-Pen Artist Display 24 Pro. And the last window is for the roller functions. You can set-up different shortcuts and roller behavior for every separate program you use. You can add or remove programs as you wish.
