Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K)
3 sources$1,099as of Oct 11

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. Creative Bloq scored it 9/10 and AppleInsider called it an artist's tablet that rivals Wacom. The lower pixel density and sheer size are the main trade-offs.

  • — Battery-free PW517 pen with 8,192 pressure levels and 60-degree tilt
  • — Costs less than half the Wacom Cintiq Pro 27 for a similar-size 4K experience
Watch-outs

XP-Pen Deco Pro MW
Ranked #4 in Best Graphics Drawing Tablets
XP-Pen Deco Pro MW
1 source$159.99as of Oct 10

The XP-Pen Deco Pro MW is the one screenless tablet on this page: an 11 x 6 inch Bluetooth pen tablet with a battery-free 8,192-level stylus, eight shortcut keys and a dial with a built-in trackpad. TechRadar tested the MW and rated it 4 out of 5, calling it one of the best value-for-money drawing tablets while faulting its drivers, an easily nudged dial and a stylus that needs firm pressure at the top of its range. TechGameWorld found no latency over Bluetooth but called phone use unconvincing. This entry is the original Deco Pro MW, not the later Deco Pro (Gen 2).

Strengths
  • — Battery-free stylus with 8,192 pressure levels and 60 degrees of tilt
  • — Bluetooth 5.0; TechRadar noticed no additional latency in wireless mode and got 11+ hours per charge
  • — Eight shortcut keys plus a dial that also works as a trackpad
Watch-outs
  • — Screenless, so you draw while looking at your monitor; TechRadar calls this a steep learning curve for newcomers
  • — TechRadar found the driver software limited and needing restarts at first
  • — The dial is easy to nudge and the stylus side buttons are easy to press by accident, per TechRadar
