Verdict

The XPPen Artist Pro 19 (Gen 2) is a professional 18.4-inch pen display featuring a fully laminated 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution screen with a paper-like anti-glare etched glass surface. It offers exceptional color accuracy with 99.8% sRGB and 98% Display P3 coverage, and it is Calman-verified for professional-grade creative work. A major highlight is the industry-first 16,384 levels of pressure sensitivity provided by the included X3 Pro Roller and Slim styluses. Key pros include its vibrant 1.07 billion color display, highly responsive pen performance with minimal initial activation force, and a generous accessory package that includes a wireless shortcut remote. However, notable cons include the lack of touchscreen support, the absence of built-in physical hotkeys on the tablet itself, and a somewhat bulky design that makes it less portable and better suited for dedicated desk use.
