Where the Kamvas 22 wins
- Weight. 3.6 kg with the stand, about half the Artist Pro 24.
- Stand range. 20° to 80°, a bit more upright than the XPPen's 72°.
- Simpler setup. Smaller and easier to fit on an average desk.
Where the Artist Pro 24 wins
- Refresh rate. 165Hz versus 90Hz. Frames every 6 ms instead of 11.
- Drawing space. About 1,557 square centimeters versus 1,270, roughly 22% more.
- What's in the box. Two pens and the ACK05 wireless remote. The Kamvas 22 has one pen and no shortcut keys at all.
- Color. 99% Adobe RGB claimed with Calman verification.
Where they're the same
Both are 2560 x 1440, laminated and etched, with 16,384-level pens and tilt. Both have VESA mounts. Neither has touch. Both need their own power adapter.
My pick
If your desk can take it, I'd buy the Artist Pro 24. The remote alone fixes the Kamvas 22's biggest gap, and 165Hz is a real upgrade. If you want something lighter or simpler to live with, the Kamvas 22 is still a great big screen.
