In 2016/2017, Wacom released the Cintiq Pros, available in 13.3 and 15.6-inches. These are the best pen digitizer displays but the prices are quite high.
Because of the high price, Cintiq alternatives from other companies started coming into the market. And the quality of such alternatives are quite good too, but they sell at a much affordable price.Ĭompetition in this space is relentless.
There are so many but I'll just recommend the two that I've used so far which worked quite well for me, namely the Artisul D13 which has a 13.3-inch screen, and the XP-PEN 22HD which has a larger screen.Īfter using several pen digitizer displays, I can say that 22-inch is a good comfortable size to work on. You may not want a screen that's too big because it's tiring to move your hand on such a screen (I'm referring to the Wacom Cintiq 27QHD). The Artisul is USD $200 cheaper and XP-PEN is less than half price. If you're going for the brand, then perhaps Wacom is attractive. But I'm telling you, the Artisul D13 and XP-PEN 22HD both work very well. On Mac OS they are almost flawless although on Windows there are some glitches. You'll have to read my reviews to get the details. If you don't have table space, or want something portable, perhaps you want to bring it to the office, then get Artisul D13.
