Artist Pro 24 Gen2 165hz Drawing Tablet with Screen - Fast 2.5K

In this review of the Artist Pro 24 Gen2 165hz, the bottom line is simple: this is a drawing display built for artists and animators who need very low latency and accurate color for high-frame-rate work. The 23.8in screen brings a 2.5K QHD panel paired with a 165hz refresh rate that cuts perceived lag and motion artifacts compared with standard 60hz displays. For illustrators, motion artists, and designers who demand smooth line rendering and near-zero latency when working with complex images or high-frame-rate footage, this tablet display stands out.

Key Features

• 165hz 2.5K QHD display: A high refresh rate and 2560 x 1440 resolution reduce motion blur and improve line responsiveness during drawing and animation playback.
• Calman verified color accuracy: Factory calibration with 99% Adobe RGB, 99% sRGB and 94% P3 coverage delivers dependable color for print and digital workflows.
• Dual battery-free styluses: Two pens with 16,384 pressure levels and 60 tilt support give a precise, natural drawing feel without charging interruptions.
• Full-laminated AG screen with paper-feel: Anti-glare nano-etched glass and anti-fingerprint coating reduce parallax and provide tactile feedback for controlled strokes.
• Customizable shortcut remote: The ACK05 wireless remote with a physical dial and ten keys speeds repetitive tasks and adapts to different workflows.
• Flexible stand options: The included ACS02 stand and optional ACS15 offer wide angle and height adjustments to suit long sessions and varied desk setups.

Who It's For

The Artist Pro 24 Gen2 is best for digital artists, animators, and designers who work with high-frame-rate video or complex layered files and need minimal display latency and trustworthy color reproduction. Its combination of a fast 165hz panel and Calman-backed color calibration makes it especially suitable for motion work and color-critical projects.

Beginners and hobbyists will appreciate the ready-to-use calibration and included accessories, but artists who need a standalone tablet or prefer an ultra-bright HDR studio monitor should look elsewhere; this device requires connection to a computer and prioritizes speed and color fidelity over extreme brightness or independent operation.
