Pen displays with touchscreen for digital drawing
If you're a digital artist looking for pen displays with touchscreens, see this list I've compile below. Whenever possible, I will link to my reviews, and I will try to keep this list updated.
Regarding touchscreen support on Windows and MacOS
If you want to find out more about touchscreen support for drawing apps running on Windows, see this article. If you're using MacOS, just note that touchscreen does not work well because MacOS doesn't really support external touchscreen monitors, and even the drivers from pen display companies may not work well.
Huion Kamvas Pro 17 and 27 (2024)
The Huion Kamvas Pro 19 (review) and Kamvas Pro 27 are top-of-the-line pen displays from Huion. Prices are USD 1099 and USD 1999 respectively.
They have 4K UHD resolution, matte glass and are huge.
Gaomon PD1621 (2022)
The Gaomon PD1621 is a 15.6-inch 4K UHD pen display priced at USD 599.
I've not tested this pen display before so I can't say much about its performance.
Wacom Movink (2024)
The Wacom Movink (review) is Wacom's first pen display with an OLED display. Price is USD 749.
The other pen displays with touchscreens from Wacom are the Wacom Cintiq Pro 16, 17, 22, 24 and 27.
XPPen Artist Pro 16TP (2021)
XPPen Artist Pro 16TP (review) is the company's first pen display with 4K UHD resolution and also the first touchscreen from them. Original retail price was US$899 but now it's selling at USD 539.
ASUS PA169CDV (2023)
The ASUS PA169CDV (review) is a 15.6-inch 4k UHD pen display that uses Wacom EMR pen technology.
Original retail price was USD 899 but at time of writing it can be found at USD 794 on Amazon US.
UPerfect Delta Pro Touch (2024)
UPerfect Delta Pro Touch is a dual stack monitor with pen support. Price is currently USD 589.
This product has two 16-inch touchscreen with 2560 x 1600 resolution.
UPerfect isn't a company that's known for making pen displays for digital artists so the pen performance for drawing isn't ideal.
Other options
As you can see, there aren't many touchscreen pen displays in the market currently.
Other options would include using your iPad or Android tablet as a pen display that connected either wirelessly or with cable to your computer. For this to work, you'll need to use apps and some options are
- Astropad Studio for iPad - USD 79.99/year
- Apple SideCar for iPad - free
- SuperDisplay for Android - USD 10
- Duet Display for iPad and Android - Studio plan with pen support is USD 6/month, USD 229 lifetime
There are more options listed here with pros and cons. Generally speaking, the performance won't be as good as a connected pen display.
