So you have to choose to sacrifice right-click shortcut or use the Artist 16TP as your main and only display. XP-Pen told me they are looking to update the driver to allow Switch Display to work properly with AC19, but that driver is not out yet. Setting Switch Monitor to a button on the XP-Pen Shortcut Remote AC19 does not work (tested it with MacOS driver 3.1.3_210629 and Windows driver 3.25 from 12 July 2021. The Windows alternative is incredibly annoying. MacOS alternative for right click is Ctrl+click, and with Windows there's this Pen and Touch setting where you can click and hold the cursor for a split second to show right click options/contextual menu. If you set Switch Monitor shortcut to the pen's side button, you lose access to right click. To move the cursor from one display to the other, you need to use the driver to set Switch Monitor as a shortcut. If you connect to a laptop, you can use extended desktop mode but there's a problem. Since there are no physical shortcut buttons, you'll have to rely on your keyboard for keyboard shortcuts. Matte vs glossy displays will each have their pros and cons. Some people may prefer the tactile experience and don't mind the colour noise, but others may prefer better image quality. The upside of having a glossy display is the image quality is better because matte surface will introduce some grain or colour noise. The display is not matte textured so there's no tactile experience when drawing. However it's treated in such a way that your fingers and palm can glide on it smoothly, and this is great for finger gestures. The surface of the display is glossy and reflective. If you use the 2-in-1 cable and USB-C, the cables will look like this at the pen display side. That's the end that should go to the pen display. The USB-C to USB-C cables have an end which is L shaped. If your USB-A port is too close to the HDMI port, there's chance you won't be able to put the cables side by side. The display will shut off if you raise the brightness beyond 50%. The USB type A cable end can only provide enough power for 50% brightness. This is the 2-in-1 cable with full-size HDMI + USB type A on one end and USB-C on the other end (goes to pen display). I've tried other USB-C chargers/adapters for my phones and they all don't work. The USB wall power adapter is needed to power the pen display to maximum brightness. If you want my recommendation, get the Parblo PR100 which is the best stand I know of. ![]() Located at the top left are the OSD and brightness buttons (also used for navigating the OSD).Īt the top, middle section, are two USB-C ports. The curved bottom edge makes it easy to lift the pen display up. Corners and edges are rounded off nicely. It's quite similar in size to a 15-inch laptop.ĭesign looks good and build quality is great.

The pen is made of plastic with a matte textured body and solid build quality. ![]() It is best to pull out most of the pen holder before you get the pen out.ĩ replacement nibs are included in the pen case. If you pull out just enough of the pen holder to get the pen out, you may scratch the pen against the interior housing of the case. Press the top of the case and there will be an audible click, and the pen holder will slide out. This pen case looks and feels premium with its metallic exterior housing. This new pen case replaces the cylindrical one that XP-Pen has included with earlier pen display models. USB-C wall power adapter with country specific plugs.This is more of MacOS's limitation than of the driver. MacOS does not support finger gestures such pan, zoom or rotate when using with drawing apps. single click, double click, click and drag, and scroll. With MacOS, finger gestures is limited to just basic mouse functionality, e.g. The most important thing to note about the XP-Pen Artist Pro 16TP is the touchscreen function works well with Windows but not with MacOS (at least with the Macs that I've tested on). And since it's a monitor, you'll need to connect this to a computer before you can draw on it.Īt the time of this review, the other 16-inch pen displays XP-Pen are selling are the XP-Pen Innovator 16 and XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro, both of which supports 1080P resolution.
