Brad Colo reviews the XP Pen Artist 22 Plus, a 21.5-inch display tablet priced at $470, highlighting its value despite lacking advanced features like touch capability and high-definition resolution. The pen quality remains high, with 16,000 levels of pressure sensitivity, and users experience reduced pen wobble and minimized parallax due to the fully laminated screen. The larger display size caters well to broad stroke drawing styles, while the tablet itself is heavy and less portable compared to smaller versions. Accessories such as extra nibs and a drawing glove are included, though items like a shortcut remote and pen case are missing. The device's affordability and overall good drawing experience make it a competitive option despite some drawbacks.

In this part of the video, Brad Colo reviews the XP Pen Artist 22 Plus, a 21.5-inch display tablet notable for its low price of $470. Despite lacking advanced features like high-definition resolution and touch capabilities, its competitive pricing makes it appealing. Colo highlights that the pen, which is consistent across XP Pen products, remains high-quality. The tablet provides a good drawing experience with reduced pen wobble and a fully laminated screen, minimizing parallax issues. The display, although not high-resolution, has decent color quality and viewing angles. The package includes necessary cords like HDMI and USB type-C, but users without a USB type-C port will need an adapter.

In this part of the video, the creator discusses testing a drawing tablet with a Thunderbolt port on a Mac using only the USB type-C cable, without needing an HDMI cable. The device requires a power outlet due to its high power consumption. The package includes a drawing glove, but lacks additional accessories like a shortcut remote and a pen case—common in other XP Pen products. Despite the absence of these items, extra nibs and a nib remover are provided, though not as neatly packaged. The tablet features a pen with 16,000 levels of pressure sensitivity, which might not be highly noticeable due to diminishing returns, but the pressure curve and drawing feel are praised. The creator observes smooth lines with minimal wiggle even at high speeds, and a solid initial activation rate for light strokes. The larger display size is highlighted as beneficial for those accustomed to drawing with broad strokes.
