The XP-Pen Artist Pro 24 Gen 2 is a 23.8-inch QHD pen display built around the industry’s first 165Hz refresh rate for graphics work. Designed for artists who work quickly and precisely, it pairs an ultra-smooth screen with X-Color Master colour accuracy and 16K pressure input, keeping the pen response tight, colours consistent, and the drawing surface calm and controlled during long sessions.

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.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
