4.3

3 sources1 derived$939as of Aug 1

The Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) is the value flagship pen display, delivering a 24-inch 4K screen, rich color and a battery-free pen for under half the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27's price.

— Battery-free PW517 pen with 8,192 pressure levels and 60-degree tilt

Watch-outs

— Lower pixel density than smaller, denser tablets at this resolution
— Not portable at this size
— 8,192 pressure levels trail newer 16K pens like the XP-Pen Deco Pro MW
