Expanded XP-Pen Artist Pro 24 Gen 2 165Hz Pen Display Key Features:

A refresh rate you feel immediately

The defining characteristic of the Artist Pro 24 Gen 2 is the 165Hz panel. When sketching quickly, scrubbing a timeline, or blocking animation, the screen updates so quickly that the cursor and brush appear locked to the pen tip. Lines appear clean as they are drawn, with less blur and perceived lag than on standard 60Hz or 120Hz displays. Over long sessions, this reduces visual strain and helps maintain a steady drawing rhythm.

Colour accuracy you can trust

XP-Pen’s X-Color Master system, developed in partnership with Calman, focuses on practical colour accuracy rather than showroom saturation. With Delta E under 1, colours stay predictable across illustrations, concept art, animation frames, and design layouts. The panel displays 16.7 million colours with smooth transitions, making gradients and skin tones easier to judge without constant soft-proofing or second-guessing on another monitor.

Surface and lamination that support focus

The fully laminated screen eliminates the air gap between the glass and the panel, keeping the cursor close to the pen tip and reducing parallax. AG nano-etched glass, combined with an anti-fingerprint coating, reduces reflections and smudges, keeping the surface readable under studio lighting. The texture provides light resistance, enough to feel controlled without dragging the pen during longer strokes.

X3 Pro pens with natural pressure control

Both included X3 Pro pens use XP-Pen’s smart chip to deliver 16K pressure levels with consistent response across the range. Light strokes register cleanly, while heavier pressure builds predictably without sudden jumps. Tilt support up to 60 degrees makes shading and pencil-style work feel familiar, and the automatic pen ID system allows each pen to retain its own shortcut settings.

Space and flexibility for different workflows

At 23.8 inches, the display offers enough room for detailed work without dominating a desk. The QHD resolution keeps UI elements sharp while leaving space for tool panels and reference images. The display works across Windows, macOS, Android, ChromeOS, Linux, and a wide range of creative software, making it easy to integrate into mixed studio setups or multi-screen workstations.

FAQs:

What advantage does a 165Hz pen display offer for drawing and animation?

A higher refresh rate reduces motion blur and improves visual feedback when drawing quickly or playing back animation. On the Artist Pro 24 Gen 2, strokes appear smoother as they are drawn, and cursor movement feels more closely tied to pen motion. This is especially noticeable when sketching fast, scrubbing timelines, or working on frame-by-frame animation. Over time, it also helps reduce eye fatigue.

How accurate is the colour out of the box?

The display is factory-calibrated and supports X-Color Master, achieving Delta E < 1. This level of accuracy meets the needs of illustration, design, and animation work where colour consistency matters. For users who want tighter control, the XPPen ColorMaster software allows further calibration using supported colourimeters on Windows and macOS.

What is the difference between the two included X3 Pro pens?

Both pens use the same X3 Pro smart chip and offer 16K pressure levels and tilt support. The standard pen features a familiar pencil-style body, a silicone grip, and a digital eraser. In contrast, the fineliner pen is slimmer and lighter, with a different balance that suits detailed line work. Each pen can be assigned its own shortcuts through pen ID recognition.

Does the screen surface feel slippery like glass?

Not at all. The AG nano-etched glass adds a subtle texture that gives light resistance, closer to drawing on paper than a glossy surface. It is smooth enough for long strokes but controlled enough for precise line work. The coating also helps reduce glare and fingerprints during extended use.

Is the Artist Pro 24 Gen 2 suitable for 3D and motion work as well as illustration?

Yes. The combination of screen size, QHD resolution, and 165Hz refresh rate suits 3D modelling, sculpting, and motion graphics, where smooth viewport movement is critical. Accurate colour and fast visual feedback help when adjusting materials, lighting, and animation timing, making it a strong all-round display for mixed creative workflows.
