Verdict

The XPPen Artist Pro 24 (Gen 2) 4K is a professional 23.8-inch pen display featuring a 4K UHD (3840 x 2160) fully laminated screen with Calman-verified color accuracy (Delta E < 1) and 99% Adobe RGB coverage. It stands out with a world-first 16,384 levels of pressure sensitivity across two included styli—the X3 Pro Smart Chip and X3 Pro Slim—providing a highly precise, lag-free drawing experience on an anti-glare etched glass surface. Key pros include its exceptional color fidelity, 300 nits brightness, and a robust accessory package featuring a wireless shortcut remote and an adjustable 16°–72° metal stand. However, users may find its large 7.3kg footprint bulky and heavy for smaller desks, and some have noted that the non-OLED display's 1000:1 contrast ratio can appear slightly dull compared to premium laptop screens.
