XPPen has debuted the XPPen Artist Ultra 14, a portable drawing display designed to combine professional-grade visual performance with a mobility-focused form factor. It marks the company’s 21st anniversary and features a 2.8K OLED display, advanced touch controls, and an ultra-slim design.
Professional Color and Display Performance
The XPPen Artist Ultra 14 uses a True RGB Stripe pixel arrangement, native 10-bit color depth, and 99% coverage of the Adobe RGB, sRGB, and Display P3 color gamut. It also boasts a Delta E below 1 color accuracy and Calman Verified certification, making it an excellent tool for color-sensitive work such as illustration, animation, and other professional creative applications.
Its 90Hz refresh rate and fast OLED response time are designed to produce smoother pen strokes, reduce pen latency, and improve motion clarity during playback. The display’s 100,000:1 contrast ratio supports deeper shadows and greater image detail. The AG nano-etched glass surface helps reduce glare, while its hybrid dimming feature is intended to minimize flicker during extended sessions.
Flexible Tools for Creators
The device also includes two X3 Pro series styluses, each offering 16K pressure levels and 60-degree tilt recognition, allowing for precise, responsive strokes across different creative techniques.
XPPen’s X-Touch solution enables multi-finger gestures, customizable touch zones, and a floating shortcut menu for quicker canvas navigation. The XPPen Artist Ultra 14 introduces a virtual tablet mode that allows the stylus to control up to 10 screens. Creators can use the feature to move windows and drag files across displays.
Two side buttons are preset for the floating menu and virtual tablet interface, although users can customize them for their preferred workflows. The package also includes an ACK05 Shortcut Remote, a foldable stand, and a pen case.
