XPPen Artist 12 3rd: Drawing tablet with pen offers 16,384 pressure levels and 99% sRGB for $216

XPPen is a well-known manufacturer of products for users who create drawings as a hobby or even on a professional level. With the XPPen Artist 12 3rd, the brand now offers a new display that supports pen input. The pen can differentiate between 16,384 pressure levels and the company specifies an accuracy of 0.2 millimeters, although this figure only applies to the center of the screen. The resolution is listed as 5,080 LPI, which are 5,080 lines per inch.

The drawing tablet carries the model number CD121FH and measures 11.9 inches diagonally and sports a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels as well as a refresh rate of 60Hz. The panel reportedly covers 99% of the sRGB color space, and XPPen advertises a typical brightness of 260 nits, which is not very bright. The slate weighs 1.58 lbs, measures 12.88 x 7.44 x 0.47 inches and should therefore be quite portable.

XPPen also opted for several physical buttons on the left side, which can be customized to use certain features, such as the eraser. The tablet is supposedly compatible with various applications including Blender 3D, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and GIMP. A foldable stand and rotary dial are also onboard. The XPPen drawing tablet is now available for purchase directly from the manufacturer for $216.
