The interactive monitor market has a new direct contender against Wacom's dominance. The Xencelabs Pen Display 24 arrives with a 24-inch 4K panel and anti-glare etched glass, directly targeting drawing and 3D sculpting professionals seeking precision without the prohibitive prices of the market leader.
Battery-free pen and 4K display for detailed modeling 🖊️
The device features a battery-free pen offering 8192 levels of pressure, 60 degrees of tilt, and tracking at 200 points per second. Its IPS 4K UHD panel (3840x2160) with a 1000:1 contrast ratio and 99% DCI-P3 coverage ensures color fidelity. The etched glass surface reduces reflections and simulates paper texture, a crucial detail for long digital sculpting sessions in ZBrush or Blender. It includes two programmable buttons on the tablet and an ExpressKey remote.
Wacom's smart cousin that won't cost you an arm and a leg 😅
Xencelabs has achieved something that seemed impossible: creating a graphics tablet that doesn't require selling a kidney to afford it. With a price around 1,900 euros compared to nearly 3,500 for Wacom's equivalent, this 24-inch beast lets you draw like a professional without having to explain to the bank why you need a loan for an office accessory. Of course, the adjustable stand is sold separately, because the irony of capitalism doesn't understand ergonomics.
