Xencelabs Pen Display 24 Review

The Xencelabs Pen Display 24 is the company’s first pen monitor for artists, photo editors, and 3D creators, but they bring a wealth of experience courtesy of the expertise of some former Wacom employees and a parent company with 25 years in business. This is a 4K IPS interactive pen display that competes with the Wacom Cintiq Pro 22, 24 and 27 inch models at a much more affordable price. Build quality is professionally oriented (this isn’t a budget or hobby product). A stand, 8 button remote with OLED display, standard and slim pen and a host of cables are included. It’s compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux.

Thank you for reviewing this product. I've been waiting for this in your content.

Xencelabs is the competitor Wacom needed

[@Snotnarok]

I've been really enjoying all the competition that these companies have been putting out vs Wacom because frankly their tablets are tragically overpriced and I've seen a lot of defects with the artists I follow that have them (they all had a clip holding the power cord at an angle, 2 of them had the mobile studios fail and wacom do nothing to help, another the screen is failing for the 3rd time) and wacom just does nothing to help because they don't care. I've been rolling with Huion for a bit and I've enjoyed their displays as have my friends but XP pen also looks to be solid and now these guys. Awesome.

Looks like a great device, if it's better than the newest Huion's, I don't know. I had a touch screen device and all the false input was driving me crazy. Traded it for a Huion Kamvas 24 Plus without touch and I'm really happy with it. Glad I don't have touch anymore and a remote control is really handy for the missing touch features. Some led indication on the touch remote is cool, but thankfully Huion has the option to have an on screen layout under one of the buttons.

Can you review the new huion kamvas pro 19? I'd really like to see a review from you guys on that one. It was just released in January 2024.

[@post-leftluddite]

Can you do a review on the new Minisforum V3 Ryzen tablet? Specifically on whether it can adequately act as a standalone graphics tablet

[@greg6500]

Great video, Very informative thank you! I do want to give the alternatives a chance but without being able to try one in person it feels like a big risk, This help a lot. Did you notice any issues trying to click menu items near the top edge of the screen? My cintiq has always had that issue.

[@sadev101]

brands like wacom and appletaking out the stand and putting that seperately on sale for big bucks is near criminal to me...for that id avoid them

[@evelinecarolinelienhuaming1184]

Ultra Big Tablet for Drawing Purpose!!! 👌🏻😲👍🏻

[@doaflamingo3713]

everytime i want a no bs review, ik i can count on lisa

[@Trevellian]

Nice device, but when paying that much would definitely want a touch screen.

[@alihms]

You can get a Huion Kamvas Pro 27 for around US 2K. Slightly more expensive but it is a 27 incher with 4K touch screen. A lot more bang for the buck if touch is a must for you. This reviewed unit direct size-wise competitors are Huion Kamvas Pro 24 4K and XP Pen Artist 24 Pro 2K. I spent a lot of time researching all 3 of them and ended up with the Huion.

[@michellemartorell6582]

@Trevellian a lot of artists turn off the touch feature because it gets in the way, and it's frustrating. It is the reason Xencelabs opted not to put touch and it passes the savings to you. Adding touch would add $$ to the bottom line, and if most people turn the feature off... why have it?

[@edmundmk6416]

I really appreciate your pen display reviews, Lisa! Very tempted by this one - but do I *need* it, lol.

[@manic7134]

I was curious how much latency you noticed with this product compared to similar sized offerings from Huion and Wacom?

[@Raptor50aus]

Lisa will you be reviewing the latest 2024 model Acer Predator 300 18 4090? laptop

[@yotoniha]

Is there any jitter to the pen when drawing fine lines? Definitely interested but that's something I've been concerned with.

[@mobiletechreview]

There is a little diagonal line wobble when drawing very slowly. Not outside the typical range for a higher end pen monitor, but Wacom Cintiq Pro 24 has a tiny bit less.

[@yotoniha]

@@mobiletechreviewThank you for your review and the follow up comment. I'm definitely going to have to consider this. In Canada the 24 Pro and this are the same price, but the Pro pretty much needs an arm or the $500 stand to be decent, and the Xence seems to have a lot of other benefits (silence and coolness)

[@Minsetti]

@@yotoniha The Cintiq 22 stand works with Cintiq Pro 24. You have to buy a separate Wacom vesa mount but still very affordable compared to the official tank stand. The cooling fans can be blocked or disconnected.

[@raydden1210]

Can you do one on the kamvas pro 19 ..and extensively showcase the size too

[@KuttyJoe]

The Quick Keys device seems to have half the number of buttons as the Wacom EK Remote. I think that would be a deal killer for me unless I could program Wacom's remote to work with the Xencelabs Display. Wacom is just prohibitively expensive at this point so those are no longer in my future. But, I definitely prefer how Wacom does everything. The EK Remote is far better set up than the Quick Keys remote, even at a glance. For one thing, the EK Remote has little indentations and nobs on all the keys so you can use it by feel. You don't have to look at it, just feel the keys. And I would gladly have twice as many keys over having just 8 keys with giant labels on them.

[@vegaliscious5857]

you have different modes with different shortcuts on the quick key device

[@asan1050]

Lisa! Thanks for posting this video.

Am I the only one not getting any sound?

[@ProgressOnly]

Ive got sound so I'm going to guess yes

[@sadev101]

yesy... sound works

[@benjamina6915]

You're late to the party. Great device, but according to other reviews the pen has issues, it's wobbly and wobbly isn't acceptable when you pay this kind of money.

[@nidusyaldabaoth2428]

I think an update shortly after lunch has resolved that issue. I looked at the same reviews and when I got my Xencelabs 24, I did not have that issue.

[@benjamina6915]

@@nidusyaldabaoth2428 that's good to hear, thank for clarifying.

[@chuzzbot]

Awesome product. That was an Ai image you were 'painting' right? Grrr.

[@mobiletechreview]

It was an image I painted using Photoshop 2024. I admit a very unimaginative scene with default brushes, but not using any of PS' generative capabilities.

[@theinktician]

lol someone didn't know about lisa's artistic prowess - creative compliment, jokes aside

[@superchristopher]

I follow especially for the drawing devices. Most tech reviewers are not artists and don't know what to look for or brush over it. Pun intended

[@tj_enju]

is it wierd that im here mostly for the tshirts... but maybe not the wordsperminute @ a.mile.a.minute.

[@sativagirl1885]

would you like the shirt to be removed, exposing Lisa's perky attitude adjusters?
