## Notes on specs

### Digitizer

* NOTE: it has the exact same size Active Area as the Huion Kamvas Pro 19.

### Display

* Color: the 10 bit is 8bit+FRC

### Pens

See [XP-Pen X3 Pro pens](/drawtab/catalog/pens/xppen-pens/xppen-x3propen-notes.md).

* X3 Pro - I tested this. It worked.

## Display experience

### Anti-glare sparkle

* RATING: VERY GOOD. Low amounts of AG sparkle.
* Maybe just slightly more than the Cintiq Pro 22.
* Similar to Huion Kamvas Pro 19

### Pixel sharpness

Pixels are relatively clear and well delineated.

The look is clearly sharper than the Huion Kamvas Pro 19 which has a soft look that some people don't like.

## Design

* Really does look like a larger version of the XP-Pen Artist Pro 16 GEN2

## Drawing experience

### Pen pressure

XP-Pen states these numbers for X3 Pro pens

* IAF: 3gf
* Max Pressure: 400gf

In my testing with the pens that came with the tablet

* Subjectively, 3gf seemed about right
* I measured the max pressure at around 250gf.

### Pressure transition

Moving between low and high pressure cave smooth pressure transitions.

### Accuracy

RATING: VERY GOOD.

My experience matched the accuracy numbers XP-Pen provides.

### Parallax

VERY GOOD.

On par with Cintiq Pro 22 and with Huion Kamvas Pro 19.

### Tilt compensation

OK. Minor displacement at 45deg

* Pen tilted left -> 1.8 mm displacement
* Pen vertical -> \~1 mm displacement
* Pen tilted right -> \~0 mm displacement

### Pressure scan rate testing

RATING: VERY GOOD

Drawing 50 strokes as fast possible results in no lost strokes.

### Diagonal wobble

Rating: GOOD low amounts of diagonal wobble.

* Just a little more than the Huion Kamvas Pro 19
* About the same as the Cintiq Pro 22
* A little less than the XP-Pen Artist Pro 16 GEN2
* About the same as the Huion Kamvas 13 GEN3
* About the same as the XP-Pen Artist 22 Plus

### Surface texture

As is typical for etched glass surfaces, there is a slight surface texture.

Using the same X3 Pro pen with a plastic nib

The XP-Pen Artist Pro 19 GEN2 has an amount of surface texture that is

* about the same as the XP-Pen Artist Pro 19 GEN2
* about the same as the Huion Kamvas Pro 19
* a little less than the XP-Pen Artist 22 Plus
* a little less than the Cintiq Pro 22
