XP-Pen is really good because it works on Linux. I will always choose Linux supporting Hardware anytime over popular brands which wont support Linux, even when I have windows on dual boot. And this is the one company which is still Innovating and experimenting with features at hardware level. That wheel on the pen is one such innovation and providing a remote control with shortcuts is superb compared to Costliest brands. No need to mention customizable buttons.
Hi, David! It was nice to receive the notification for a new video of yours. I have not been practicing over the last year, but I want to get back to digital painting using Krita some time in the future. With your commitment to libre and open source software and your great artistic style, your tutorials and videos have always been inspiring and instructive. I will certainly come back to your excellent videos once I take up this hobby again. Thank you for all the great videos. Cheers from Brazil!
This is a really great review! I loved how you showed the heat, color and pressure sensitivity tests. It's something that's very hard to find in reviews here on RUclips. Great work, congrats and thanks for the great content!
Thank you! Yes, it's a bit of a heartbreak thing to do on a new device, but I thought it's useful to finally know how resistant these things really are. And worst case scenario for me: I could scratch a tiny corner. Fun fact: this scene I filmed was out of focus, so I had to do it a second time; that's probably why on the final shot I use the keys/cutter knife/etc... stronger, because I'm already confident with the result.
Haha, mad respect for that. I know you didn't buy it yourself but it's still something you intend to use. Now we all know the screen is indeed safe from pen tip scratches. 😁👌
Fantastic review. I'm still using XP-Pen Artist Pro 24 inch with the 20 express keys and dials. I wish they would update this in 4k with the buttons and dials but alas it seems not to be.
Thanks! Oh yes, I have also this model; I love how the hand can wrap around the frame and the tickness of the frame and buttons. It feels good while drawing. It looks like nowaday the trend is to remove all buttons and putting in the box the keydial/remote for everything.The end of an era of physical buttons.
hehe, I'm glad it could help! I discovered it on my 16 gen2 by accident almost. I saw the power button, the Volume + and volume - , and thought about it as a cellphone, and started to play with the "what if" idea of engineers hiding a test mode or a special feature. I wasn't disappointed!
Hi David, it's been a while since you posted a video. Glad you are doing well and making art using FOSS. Besides the Tablet you presented in this video, which I can't afford right now but it's definitely worth to consider, is there any change in your Linux setup? I recall the last article in the Linux section of your website was about Debian 12 with KDE Plasma desktop environment.
Hey, thank you, everything is fine and sorry for the low production of video content. I sort of get disgusted by clickbait titles and AIgen thumbnails on RUclips for a long period, but it looks like this type of trend of "The truth about...." "Shocked faces on thumbnails" So I took a pause of creating this type of content, and I have been active on other place (mainly Mastodon and blog). I still have Debian 12 KDE, and it's a big joy. I also put it on my laptop. It's really a production power house. I setup a spare laptop to a Fedora 41 also Plasma and Gnome to follow and give feedback on development (it's a system I can break with silly experimentation, like recompiling a big library). I'll post today another review (hazard of the calendar, the Huion brand also sent me a device to test and ask for a release date of today). Thank you for watching!
@DavidRevoy Thanks for answering so quick. I absolutely can relate to what you said about those kind of content. It seems it's getting worse lately, so people like you are crucial to hold the standards on a certain level. Just out of curiosity, do you have any plans to join on BlueSky?
Hey, thank you! Yes, it's exactly the same manipulation of the buttons, but the result (OSD) menu is different. The tablet also starts in a "test mode" for the logo. I discovered it a bit late after my video on the 16. It was reported later on the blog post of the 16. Same for the overlay surface of the 16: similar to this 19 and in a big year of production it is without a scratch. Very cool quality.
Oh no. It might be they are victim of their own success and shortage of stock. I remember it was a bit like that when the 16 model was released last year. I hope the wait is soon over for yours!
I really appreciate your thorough review! Edit: Have you also tested the screen heat while the stand is attached? The stand looks like it at least partially, if not fully blocks the heat vents on the top of the tablet... Would be interesting to see if there's a difference. Also, maybe next time ask if XP would consider expanding your discount code usage to worldwide, as I would have preferred to use yours. (I'm in Canada.)
Hey, no problem for the promo code: I earn nothing on it, and I don't want manufacturers to imagine my code are "good seller", the only effect I want is for you all to benefit a coupon and save a bit money, that's why I put them. Also, I asked for world wide offer, but all I could get was this 5 or 6 links (still better than the original single link I had). Oh! I haven't noticed the stand was on the way of the heat dissipation grid. That's a good observation. I'll check it next time I rescrew it because right now I'm just using with it my wooden DIY stand. Thank you!
Hi, David! I wonder if it would be possible to use an U-Shape (180 degree) or even L-Shape (90 degree) USB-C adapter to get rid of the "ugly" cable on top. Unsure if any USB-C fits XP-Pen's slot or they have proprietary one (some have weird indents and such). Obviously it would have to be one with 4k+ Res at 60Hz passthrough with both data and power transfer, but they are quite cheap. Using such adapter would lead the slot downwards or beneath the screen. In case of U-Shape one, it would have to be wide enough to fit the display thickness. Only downside is that you wouldn't be able to lay the screen flat on the desk with it but nobody does that anyway. 😄
Hey, Yes, it would need a beefy USB-C cable, but maybe a Female to Male one, to extend this cable (because it is a 2 in one cable, and even a 3 in one cable: power supply, USB, and HDMI and it's connected to the hub that split cables without a plug).
Yes, I meant female to male adapter/extension. There are ones with both data and power transfer so it should work, but never seen anyone do it yet. I noticed everyone is complaining about the look of the cable so I'm wondering how nobody tried that cosmetic fix. 😀 U-shape would barely be visible on the top and the cable would connect behind the screen.
@@don-dori For sure, I'll check that on the stores and post an update about it on the blog post with a photo if I find a good one. I can invest at least that, and this thing would really enhance this device, I'm just always worrying about scam with USB-C: getting a cable that melt under the too many amps, or with not enough frequency for the 4K screen. I'll have for sure to test.
Yes, it has few remaining issues and also the situation is not similar on Wayland or X11, or Gnome or Plasma (or something else). I list and detail that on the blog post but I'm working also on it (to report and diagnose the device to more skilled dev who knows the input stack).
I think the scroll wheel is for changing brush size for people with that workflow. I don't know if it would be worth trying to change the sensitivity in xinput or something.
Thank you. I can have a look, but it is the type of "smooth scroll wheel" so it is even hard to know when it is changed. but maybe if I find a way to set a sensitivity like "record an event only if a 1/4 of the wheel is turned" , it could work. If I find something, I'll report it on the blog post. It shouldn't be too hard(TM) because I already deactivated the wheel with xinput, so I know the way to access and list all the option. Thank you for the suggestion.
Great review. I had the XP-Pen Artist Pro 16 but returned it because it wasn't bright enough for what I'm used to. Did you notice any distinct difference in brightness between the 16 and the 19? I know they both list at 250 nits, but I've seen other reviews state the 19 is brighter. As someone who's used to a 500 nit monitor and iPad Pro, I really struggle adjusting to the dimmer pen displays (although I realize they don't need to be as bright since you are closer to the screen) but I found myself wishing it could go just a bit brighter. If the 19 does that, I may go that route; the 16 was *so* close to being ideal, but I knew I wouldn't be able to settle.
did you make sure to plug it into a power outlet? I have the 14 and 19 and for the screen to be at its brightest, you need to connect it to an additional power source along with using the usb c data cable
@@vertakin Yes I did use a power outlet, although I did not notice a marked difference than when I just used the USB-C cable. Another reviewer stated he measured the 19's brightness at a higher nit than the 16, so I was curious.
OOT Question* is it posssible to share a krita workspace setup? im kinda interested on your setup, and too lazy to drag and lock the docks lol. And secondly how to update krita ? Mine is still 5,5,2 ver, do i need to reinstall it and backup my workspace setup?
Hey, I'll see what I can do to share my workspace; but it might take time. I detailed that in a video (the one with Kiki, and illustration from A to Z, in the intro). Check it, it's a 1min move of dockers around. About updating your Krita, it depends how you installed it in the first place and on what system. But if it is on Windows with the installer from the website (I say this, because statistic) you just need to download the new version and install as far as I know. it shouldn't erase your user preferences. (but you can go before to Setting, Manage Ressource, Open Ressource folder and copy/backup all the content of this directoty before to be safe).
Some people said that has got some problems with the pencil disconnect from the tablet randomly, Did you notice any issues with the pencil disconnect ?
Not a single one, but maybe it's a driver issue on a specific architecture. I wouldn't be surprise if it is the proprietary driver. It's a user space driver, so in the lasagna of the input stack, it's often the last layer, and this layer has to fight to take the privilege above all other underneath code that often reconfigure themselves for many events (sleep/hot plug/etc). That's why I love using it with only FLOSS on X11: it's deeper in the stack, and more stable. I'm sure the WIP Wayland impementation will be also very robust once all the settings will be exposed correctly.
@@DavidRevoy thank you for replying and thank you for fantastic review. Any plans to review the 24 pro 2nd gen in the future? I am planing to buy one but not sure if the 19 in of 24 dilema of size

Oh yes, I don't know if it stack up, but it is certainly very similar. Before this two reviews, I had the XPpen Artist Pro 16 (gen2) as my main tablet for a year (love it), so after I finished the review, switching to the 19 Artist Pro (gen2) was super easy, and I felt at home with the pressure sensitivity, the overlay surface, and the tech of the stylus.

@@DavidRevoy Thank you very much for your useful details and suggestions. It was very helpful for me. I will follow your channel content with detailed, honest and helpful reviews.
I totally agree. The good thing here: you can downgrade the resolution on the display settings and the result has enough ppi to still be sharp. I'll use mine only in this resolution mode for sure, because otherwise the text, icons, buttons are too small (and display scaling on Linux is buggy, especially on X11 with multi monitor so not an option).
Oh yes, very much so and very active on my blog and Mastodon (and also Instagram), but I admit I'm not active on RUclips for content. I'm also using my channel as a "video hosting" for my blog post and not really a social media in itself where poeple follow only the videos. I'm probably wrong about modern usage. I was away from video editing a bit because mainly disgusted by the trend of big click bait title ("the truth about...."), thumbnails with shocked emotion face in big, or thumbnail with AI art. This, plus the Shorts made me feel like the platform was looking more and more like TikTok. But now I feel more and more "this like that now" and accept it. I'll try to post more soon. Thanks for the message!

He has written blog posts recently.
Oh yes, very much so and very active on my blog and Mastodon (and also Instagram), but I admit I'm not active on RUclips for content.
I'm also using my channel as a "video hosting" for my blog post and not really a social media in itself where poeple follow only the videos. I'm probably wrong about modern usage.
I was away from video editing a bit because mainly disgusted by the trend of big click bait title ("the truth about...."), thumbnails with shocked emotion face in big, or thumbnail with AI art. This, plus the Shorts made me feel like the platform was looking more and more like TikTok.
But now I feel more and more "this like that now" and accept it. I'll try to post more soon. Thanks for the message!
First 🎉
Probably a nice review 😂
