XP-Pen's Artist 24 Pro is the largest pen display in their lineup, but it comes at a premium.

A few years ago, there were not many options for pen displays and digitizers for digital artists. Wacom held their heads up as the industry standard, and they were more than happy to charge a premium for their equipment. Unfortunately, the term "starving artist" exists for a reason, and these higher price points meant Wacom's devices were out of reach for many creators. XP-Pen saw an opportunity to release a line of budget-friendly devices for digital artists, but their initial launch was rife with software issues.

After listening to the needs of their customers, however, XP-Pen's software and hardware both gradually improved, and they found themselves seated at the table as one of the best alternatives to Wacom available for beginners, hobbyists, and budget-minded artists alike.
