[@swaysway5663]

I have one of these and a helpful tip is that you don’t need to plug it into the wall. You can just plug in the black USB and the HDMI and you’ll be set. The only downside is that if you have a laptop, it might drain your battery a little faster, but if you have a desktop PC then it’s totally fine.

[@shkatmusic]

Thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for. I wont be able to plug it into a wall.

[@SeymanurYazici]

Is it works good on a long run? I want to buy a tablet I can use for years.

[@swaysway5663]

@@SeymanurYazici Mine got messed up in the settings somehow and the pen pressure stopped working. I did research and I couldn’t find any other person who has had this problem so if I were you, I wouldn’t worry. I think I’m just gonna buy the XP-Pen 15 or something because it’s got a bigger workspace and a better stand. Totally recommend the tablet if you’re not gonna be stupid and mess up the settings (somehow) like I did.

@@swaysway5663 how'd u mess it up? i ordered this already and it's coming in a few days, knowing myself being an ass will check all settings and start touching everything. i hope i do it right

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

You can’t mess up the hardware, there is an option in the driver to reset to default, that should fix it. Either that or uninstall, reboot. Install a clean driver, reboot again.

[@merran3456]

this was too helpful, i’ve been looking for reviews on this and none of them talked about the cables. i’m still pretty new to the drawing on a drawing/graphics tablet but i started like a few months ago. ever since my old tablet broke i’ve been using my ipad and this really helps. thanks

Bought myself an Artist Xp pro 15.6 during the holiday sale. Honestly, spend the extra money for a bigger screen. I did return the 12 inch because my hands were too big and the canvas was usually shrunk and hard to see.

15.6” is my favorite size but there is a use case for something smaller. Some just want the portability or they don’t have a ton of space.

does that make the actual screen more paper sized?

Depending on what art you want to do, KZbin is a good place. If you have money, Udemy or skillshare might be good areas to check out too. I don’t do art as much as I should because I have a full time career a d a disability so I am also learning. One of the places I would like to take that journey is here on YT and Twitch.

[@nikkodawisan1251]

@@CreateNowSleepLater thanks sir. Btw, is it true that the no screen tablets are better than those who have? They say that your hand is blocking the screen makes it difficult to draw

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

I don’t think that’s true really but it’s subjective. You can run an additional window in photoshop on another monitor. Plus on a pen display, it’s less of a eye - hand disconnect. That said, I think non screen tablets are perfectly fine. It’s all what you are more comfortable with.

How did you take out the pen out of the cylinder looking container... >

[@thepixelpony4640]

Hello! I'm considering buying one of these tablets and I'm worried about two things 1) any possible lag/delay when working with the tablet And 2) the screen being too small. What would you say about these two factors for the tablet. This will be my second tablet as my first was a cheap wacom intuos one with no screen. I wanted one with a screen to help with my accuracy of lines and to make it easier for myself. Appreciate the help!

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

Well, the size is small. You can move up to a 13 or even 16” but that is a budget decision. All EMR tablets have lag. It means the cursor can drag a little but the lines go down fine. There isnt a delay really.

[@violetrose273]

Oh brilliant I bought this for Christmas because my artist 12 (not the pro version) was broke as heck The wire that goes in the tablet got really loose and I have to spend about 20 minutes to get it to connect it into the tablet because I have to hold it a certain way :( Also the pen kept leaving *deep* scratches into the screen

[@aljazmauko]

R.i.p. for the old one

[@RickOnPlanetEarth]

Is the XP-Pen Artist 12 Pro better at parallax than say... the Huion Kamvas Pro 12? They're around the same price range.

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

I never reviewed the 12" Huion but I did review the 13" on this channel. I'd say they are pretty close both being fully laminated. They are both almost no parallax. kzbin.info/www/bejne/eZ-YlXV7rr54e5o

[@jaimeeedwards6121]

I wish someone would release one of these kinds of tablets with Android built in and the option to flip a switch and use it as a computer pen display. Would just need a pc program so you could sync back and forth between the two. It would be the perfect all occasion drawing device. Closest I've found is the Lenovo yoga book, it has a built in Wacom pad

[@janalebedeva5921]

Hi. Would Krita work with this tablet? Thank you in advance

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

Yep. Tablets are just input devices. They don't care about which program you are using but you want to make sure they support pressure sensitivity which Krita does.

[@saladude]

Hello! This is probably really late but do you recommend buying the Cintiq 16 or this one? I’m mostly drawing as a hobby right now so what do you recommend? I also don’t know which one works better with my computer. It’s kind of old (it’s a Mac mini).

Make sure that the app settings are the same as the binds in your driver.

[@aljazmauko]

Did u have any tablet before? U need to delete drivers from before

[@2free2snakes]

I want to know if the drivers are good enough, some people have said the XP-pen drivers tend to fight with Wacom (plus other company) drivers - sometimes losing pen pressure temporarily while working. Naturally uninstalling all and any other pen driver is given. I wanted to know if you had a positive experience with XP-pen drivers, or if you had any setbacks in performance. Seeing as this pen screen goes for only 200 euros in german amazon, it could be my first pen screen. Merry Christmas from Finland.

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

What Wacom device are you using? I mean, are you planning on having 2 devices installed? You could always export your Wacom config and set the Wacom service to manual so it doesn’t start up. I haven’t had any issues.

[@2free2snakes]

@@CreateNowSleepLater If I make the jump to screen tablets, I'll most likely uninstall every driver that isn't XP-pen before installing XP-pen drivers. Just curious about XP-pen's drivers and support being said to be as good as Wacom's - naturally I have my doubts.

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

It has the basics, if you look halfway or so in my review of 15.6 model, I spent a couple of minutes on the driver. They work fine, it just lacks the aesthetics of the Wacom desktop center.

[@Spesh-tc3vz]

Hi, great video but my question is simply does it require a computer whilst drawing on the tablet. I know there is a computer required for driver install but does it need to be connected to a pc to use

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

Yes it does, it’s literally just an external display and requires a host computer.

[@キラー-m3v]

I have two questions do you have to use a computer while you use the pad and could you do animations videos one this tablet?

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

Yes, you need a PC or laptop. You can use it with any software, it’s just a display. The pen is like a pen pressure mouse in a way. It’s just an input device.

[@jay_cadiramen]

Does this only work with specific software, or can I use it for any drawing input app? I want to use Embrilliance Stitch Artist to digitise machine embroidery patterns.

I try to keep my work space on the couch in the living room where its carpeted so I don't break things on tile or non carpeted surfaces.

[@RUDYMANSILLADELSURE]

Which one is better xp-pen 15.6 pro or the huion kambas 16 pro?

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

Completely subjective and impossible to answer. One reason I try not to do that here is because I don't want to rob someone of something that works better for them. The Huion is thinner like a tablet, the XP-Pen is closer to the Cintiq type classic build with the red dial. Both have express keys and similar pen experience. I did not have any driver issues with either and both have fully laminated displays. They even both have a 3-in one cable. You just need to choose with is right for you. I have reviews on all of them. Hopefully is answers some of these questions. One thing I see other reviewers do is say I like this one better and they get hammered for being shills. You don't really see that here because I treat them all equally.

Yes will it work

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

What is the exact problem you’re having? I don’t think the tablet care about the adapter, it’s just converting a video signal. Maybe it’s the adapter?

Can I use a USB-C to USB-C connector? Is it purely HDMI only? If so,will an HDMI to USB-C work?

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

To use with a Mac?

[@cqllel5186]

@@CreateNowSleepLater Well, nah. I have an HDMI port on my ASUS Vivobook. It's just that I use an external cooling system since I also game on this laptop, and that external cooling system covers up my HDMI slot bcuz it's a bit big. So I either sacrifice CPU cooling for a display, or I use my laptop's awful display to prolong the life of my hardware by keeping it as cool as possible However, on the other side of my exhaust where my external cooling system sucks hot air out, there's a USB-C port. One I can use and still keep my cooling fan --- But also, would it work with a Mac? Since Apple makes bad laptops and only got like 2 USB-C ports, would Mac-tards be able to use the Arctis 12 Pro using an HDMI to USB-C (F to M) adapter? I only discovered that USB-C can be used in place of an HDMI/DisplayPort last night, so it may just be a dumb question

[@CreateNowSleepLater]

@@cqllel5186 I think the answer in both cases is yes. You are just converting the video signal and its not super hi-rez or anything.

Nope, you can use one usb for data and 1 for power. The third is for video. You can take one usb cable and use any phone charger too.
