XP-Pen Artist 24 Pro vs Huion Kamvas Pro 24

Submitted by Teoh Yi Chie on

I've already reviewed the two pen displays. Here's a comparison table based on my reviews.

XP-Pen Artist 24 Pro Huion Kamvas Pro 24

Display 23.8-inch, 1440P. Even though it's not a laminated display, it does look very similar to Huion's. 23.8-inch, 1440P, laminated display
Colour support 100% sRGB, 83% AdobeRGB measured 99% sRGB, 81% AdobeRGB measured
Brightness 298 nits maximum brightness measured is significantly brighter compared to Huion. The higher brightness allows colours to appear more vibrant. 158 nits maximum brightness measured is sufficient but it would be nice if brightness could be higher.
Drawing surface Matte screen protector Matte glass can't be scratched
Shortcut buttons 20 shortcut buttons and 2 control dials. Changing settings is faster and easier with the control dials 20 shortcut buttons and 2 touch stripes
Video ports USB-C, HDMI HDMI, DisplayPort, VGA

Drawing performance Lines taper well. Line transition from thin to thick is smooth. Pen is able to maintain consistent pressure. Drawing performance is consistent and predictable Lines taper well. Line transition from thin to thick is smooth. Pen is able to maintain consistent pressure. Drawing performance is consistent and predictable
Tilt sensitivity Line breaks when direction changes from bottom to top, vice versa. Tilt doesn't work one inch away from the edge. Tilt works well. Tilt working near the edge is hit and miss.
Glitches The issue with tilt. Medibang Paint Pro (Mac) has line jitter issue No glitches experienced
Driver Has extra Fine Detail mode, Brush-Eraser mode Display Switch works fine with Mac but on Windows there are three modes. On Windows activating Display Switch changes pen into mouse mode, pen mode on the other display, and back to own display.
Warranty 18 months 1 year, with option to purchase additional warranty (6 months for US $80, 1 year for $150)
Cables included HDMI, USB-C HDMI, VGA, USB-A

The main significant difference between the two pen displays would be the matte screen protector on the XP-Pen vs the matte glass used by Huion. Matte screen protector can be scratched but matte glass can't. Screen protector can be replaced in the future when XP-Pen starts selling replacement screen protectors but who knows when that will be.

Both matte surface offer very similar tactile drawing experience.

Even though XP-Pen's display is not laminated, it looks very similar to Huion's laminated display. There's still a tiny gap between the cursor and the pen tip, which is probably not noticeable unless you're looking out for it. Both displays have minimal parallax or cursor-pen tip offset.

XP-Pen has the advantage when it comes to ports. XP-Pen supports USB-C in addition to HDMI. USB-C is versatile and also allows you to use the display as a USB hub. Huion uses HDMI, VGA and DisplayPort. VGA isn't that useful since computers from recent years no longer use VGA. And VGA can't support 1440P resolution.

Unfortunately I no longer have both units so I can't say much about ghosting. If you have intention of gaming on these pen displays, they will work but they aren't going to be as good compared to gaming monitors because these aren't designed for gaming.
