Verdict

The Xencelabs Pen Display 24 is a professional-grade 23.8-inch drawing monitor featuring a 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS panel that delivers 1.07 billion colors with 99% Adobe RGB and 93% DCI-P3 coverage. Its edge-to-edge tempered glass surface uses Super-AG etching to virtually eliminate glare and provide a natural pen-on-paper feel with a finely tuned 3g initial activation force. Main pros include the inclusion of two battery-free EMR pens (a 3-button and a slim model) with 8,192 pressure levels, a silent fanless design, a sturdy integrated tilt stand (16°–72°), and the programmable Quick Keys remote with an OLED display for up to 40 shortcuts. Cons include the lack of touchscreen functionality, a standard 60Hz refresh rate that lacks the smoothness of higher-end competitors, and noticeable parallax due to glass thickness that typically requires software calibration.
