Ótimo custo-benefício
Com um valor bastante abaixo que o maior concorrente do mercado, essa mesa da XP-Pen é ótima, e com uma ótima sensibilidade na hora de desenhar. Talvez possa dar um trabalhinho na configuração, mas tudo funciona bem. Até a entrega foi sem problemas, mesmo sendo uma compra internacional.

A great drawing experience with very few drawbacks
I really like this display it is reliable and consistent. The feel of the pen is great and the spring loaded eraser tip really helps get the feel of a soft eraser. The touch is accurate and everything seems to work well. 4k resolution with a screen this small makes reading text a bit difficult so I usually run it at 1440p which works quite well. I do with the driver software had more options but coming from a Huion Kamvas Pro 16 4k tablet which had accuracy issues at the edge of the screen and no touch functionality, the whole XP Pen experience feels much more classy and reliable. It is accurate everywhere without the need for calibration even on non-native resolution. For me that is a big win. I do wish that there were better options for use with software without having to enable windows ink but for the major drawing apps I use it with (Krita, Affinity, Artrage, OpenCanvas) it works very well. I bought the XP Pen tablet stand to use with it (which wobbles a bit and has to be bolstered for proper support) and had to use the pen stand from my old Wacom Intuos as it does not come with a pen stand, just a pen case. If it came with a stand as well as a pen stand and there was a secondary pen button it would be just about perfect. As is - it is still one of the best drawing screens out there.

Great pen display so far but arrived with cosmetic issues
Pros:1. Beautiful and Vivid 4k Display with excellent colour accuracy2. Premium feel and unboxing experience (reminds me of unboxing an Apple product)3. Fluid and accurate drawing experience4. The pen case is a great add and I love the simplicity of the pen5. It was very easy to setup both on Windows and MacOS6. It is also the only pen display at this price point with touch controls to my knowledgeCons:1. My unit came with some cosmetic defects despite functioning perfectly however I expect better quality control from such an expensive purchasei. First was the glass being scratched (2 deep scratches and several small hairline scratches that are more superficial)ii. The display was very slightly popped out near the ports on the top side of the device but clicked back in place2. Very little drawing resistance3. Does not include a stand which I believe many devices at this price point do4. Cable management is not the cleanestSummary:I was looking for a drawing tablet with larger working area for drawing and artwork. I was primarily using an 2020 iPad Air previously which is great but does not have a lot of drawing space. I did a lot of research beforehand, what appealed to be about XP-PEN over the other brands available, was price-point with the added touch features and it being a 4K display.The unboxing experience was stellar, well packaged with a beautiful box you will want to keep. It has everything you will need to get started and hooked up to your computer in the box. I tested it with both a newly custom built Windows PC and a Macbook Pro (2018). I'll admit the Windows setup experience seemed far easier to me, but the MacOS setup was not supremely difficult.Upon unpacking the contents of the box, you'll notice everything feels extremely premium. I took out the pen first, because the case is beautiful and is very satisfying to open. It has plenty of tips and an easy to operate tip replacement tool. I saw some complaints online primarily with the pen, being light and round and easy to roll off a desk. But this was not a deal breaker to me. It has a built in eraser which appears to be programmable and one other programmable button. I don't mind the lightness of the pen myself and it works great and is easy to handle.The display itself is beautiful, vivid with excellent colour accuracy. It's what you would expect for a 4K display. The glass is very smooth and while it does have a slight texture to it, it does not provide any resistance when drawing which does take time to get used to. It's almost slippery to draw on at first but I found it very easy to get used to over time. I do see this as being a dealbreaker for some if you like to have more a paper-esque drawing experience. I have only done a few sketches for now, to test it out but a I can see a lot of possibilities as I use it more.I do have some concerns however - my unit did come with some cosmetic defects which I mention in the cons above. I was reading online that this does seem to be a problem at time among all the pen display manufacturers but there were two notable issues with mine. First, there are noticeable scratches on the glass. Two small deep ones and some less noticeable hairline scratches. Second, the screen was slightly popped out near the ports. It did easily pop back into place and does not seem to impact the performance of the device. The box was not opened and was still wrapped in plastic, so I assume the scratches occurred during the manufacturing process. The display popping out could be due to transport, it was somewhat lose in a larger box with other items.Overall I'm happy with the XP-PEN Artist Pro 16TP so far, I just wish it would have come without the cosmetic issues, considering that is still a very expensive device. Hopefully you find this review helpful and I'll try to update it over time if I notice anything else.

Not good without iGPU/USB-C as connection
I like this tablet and I decided to keep it, but there are a few things everyone should know:1. Per my emails with support, windows scaling is not supported and there are no plans to. That means you are stuck at 100% which is tiny tiny tiny. Most apps have UI scaling though, but windows is a no-go.EDIT: through testing it does scale over USB-C vs USB-A/HDMI splitter cable. Not sure why support wouldn't tell me that.2. The cables are short and they don't sell longer ones. My extensions won't supply power properly or let the pen work without hiccupping.3. The power button only turns the screen off. It remains connected to windows. Your cursor or windows can still move to tablet. The only way to disconnect it from windows is to unplug it from USB.4. If touch won't work make sure you enter PC Tablet Settings in Control Panel to enable the screen.5. It doesn't draw dots well. It doesn't detect pressure sensitivity (under those circumstances) and they come out tiny or large and few in between. You have to set a brush to a size and adjust as needed.EDIT: again over USB-C it drew dots fine. Not sure why the performance is so much poorer through the other cable.6. It doesn't always draw when you expect it to.I decided to keep it because:1. I like the semi-matte surface. I don't like the sound of the scratchy pen tablets with matte surfaces. I came from an HP Spectre and Surface Pro 4 which both have glossy screens and it's definitely more matte than that. It's right between which is really comfortable for me.2. The pen is very good and the drawing experience is great.3. It's cost effective.EDIT: If using over USB-C connection the experience is much better. This requires that you have an integrated iGPU/APU on your desktop processor and a USB-C port on your motherboard or laptop. Without that you are stuck with poor options. I'm upping my rating to 4 stars, but I think the manufacturer and their support can be much more communicative about these requirements and limitations.UPDATE: I decided to return it after all. Not being able to draw dots just doesn't work for my art style and things became very deliberate. If it did that one thing well, I'd keep it for sure but for now it's a deal breaker.

This is the worst tablet for 3d artist
This is the worst tablet I have had in over 20 years of dealing with different brands and tablets. If you are a 3D artist, don't buy this tablet. If you use all 3 mouse buttons in your programs, forget about it. There is only one button on the pen, which means that you have to turn the pen every time or use a mouse. This new button on the pen is the ugliest. It's so flat that it is almost impossible to find it without seeing it. Every time you want to start drawing, you have to look at the pen, trying to find the button. Also, you can't replace that pen, because there are no other options. XP-pen doesn't even support its previous pen models. 4k is really great, but not all programs work great with this monitor. Some of the interfaces will be really tiny. Also, some 3D programs such as Blender and 3D Max will glitch unless you turn off the finger touch feature and it happens completely by accident. If you're a 3D artist, as a result of these problems that I mentioned above, you'll be using a mouse instead of a pen, and most of the time you'll be disabling finger touch. I cannot return this monitor because it was a gift and I really like this brand more than Wacom for its flexibility. I can't enjoy this monitor until they give me a pen option like their previous models or just a new pen with all 3 mouse button functionality.
