Totally worth the price (if you can get it on a decent sale). My old pen display was a XPPen Artist 15.6 Pro v1, and I loved it for 6yrs, it's still going strong and has no issues. But the 1080p resolution is getting harder on the aging eyes. Plus with my new computer upgrades I can actually use higher graphics now. I have had this pen display for a few days now and I am loving it! It's super easy to wipe down after a long day of drawing since the screen is all one piece, no seems except the one at the bottom. The glass feels smooth with a paper like feel. The touch functions are great to use, easy to set up as well. (Just remember to go into Windows settings and select which monitor uses touch gestures on.) I LOVE that I can select a section of the screen to not use touch functions, I set this area for where all the tools and layers ect are in the UI of my CSP, so I can freely draw, rotate, zoom, pan, ect, and not worry about my hand accidently deleting a layer or selecting the wrong brush. The pens are great, I am glad it came with 2, as I have been curious about the slim pens, but I decided to use the normal one as only the normal one can use the felt tips. As for the drawing experience with the pen, it is very good. The sensitivity in the pen is crazy, I found I am only using at most 3-4 thousands range out of the 16k limit, so all my strokes are on the lighter end. This is good and more realistic for a lot of my brushes, something that I couldn't do with my old pen display as the pen limit was only 8k and resulted in many brushes being too opaque. I also love that this pen has Rotation, something my old pen didn't which was a big bummer because I have lots of new brushes that need it but couldn't use it before. I will say the one downside is it is not VISA compatible. But this wasn't a deal breaker for me as my old pen display was not either, so I use a Laptop Tray on a monitor arm to hold my pen display. Just stick some Nano Tape on the back of the pen display to stick it to the laptop tray and she's good to go, it will hold super strong if it's good nano tape.
