Unboxing Xencelabs Pen Display 24 - A new choice for creatives! Everything included! 

It is a really nice Pen Display

that is coming in my full review, but here's a quick sneak; it is awesome color-wise. Other aspect works really well. Still doing more testing and trials....

@@ArtIsRight Nice! I would love to watch it.

:)

Working on that, have been really busy at the studio. :)

you're welcome

thanks for the feedback

I'm afraid RU-vid does not have a system to serve different videos (yet) depending on the audience status (subscribed, not subscribed). Even if the channel author would make two videos (a ton of work, extra editing, upload time and bandwidth, etc), - no channel author that I know of does this- I don't recall RU-vid having a system to allow to serve one version or another of the video to the visitor depending on if being subscribed or not. So... if anything, this would be a thing/feature to be asked to RU-vid, really. You are seeing it video after video (like happens in all the channels I frequent) but the newcomers might see this video once and that's it, and it is studied that reminding of it does work, there's a lot of marketing advice pointing in that direction. In a long video, IMO the number of times he asks for it is relatively low (increasing it could damage the thing, though I have seen way worse). Yes, pen displays can hurt the neck and back of some people, specially those not being specifically trained to adapt to a pen display (and even if so, it forces a type of pose, more noticeable after long sessions, there's kind of no way around it). This is why I use pen tablets (classic "wacoms"). Xencelabs was first known by its pen tablets, indeed, and like with this, aiming for the professional consumer, in my opinion, rather like the cheaper market, like other brands did. I do have though a pen display (Huion), for "some use", fewer hours. I just do the most of my work on a Wacom pen tablet. I mean, there's always ways to deal with these issues. :). About refresh rate and matte/glossy, very much depends on the type of professional usage. I am an illustrator, and matte screens, besides not forcing one to deal with reflections that make perception of tones different depending on body posture (I know you can have controlled lighting, but in some situations that's not a solution. And I care about lights, I even have 6500K bulbs for best color on screen, calibration for D65, etc), when well calibrated (by hardware, with a colorimeter) the matte factor indeed helps in emulating more accurately the color printed on paper. The current tech allows enough sharpness and color accuracy despite being matte. The contrast is most often depending on the way they made the panel, the panel tech (if it's QLED, VA, IPS...), on the black levels (at least for a sensation of contrast), if the panel is 6bit+FRC (ouch...!), 8bit, or 10 /12 bit via internal monitor LUT (would help with contrast ratio, smoother gradients, and also to get more tones, better calibration) etc, etc, rather than the external coating being so much of a factor, at least it is more like this, these days. In the past matte screens were more of a problem (always talking about the best current tech, not lower mainstream products). When it's well implemented, it's not an issue. While glossy reflection can be a real pain for an illustrator, painter, professional game artist, etc, working at pixel level for many hours a day. Matte now, by many professionals, is almost as much required as a a panel having good uniformity. The basic refresh rate is totally fine for these professions, but would be a problem for serious video editing and animation. IMO, this pen display focuses more on the first group of professions I mentioned. Photographers also... they have been using for a while expensive Wacom Cintiq 24" and 32" pen displays, and as far as I remember it, all those are matte screens, currently.

​@@3polygons I appreciate your point. To clarify, I wasn't suggesting the creation of separate videos. Based on my experience, the channels I subscribe to typically don't start episodes by asking for a subscription. Personally, I'm more inclined to subscribe when the content itself is genuinely interesting. While we all appreciate Art's work, it's important to remember that subscriptions should primarily benefit viewers, not creators. I prefer a more natural approach to subscription prompts, recognizing that some viewers may choose not to subscribe, and respecting their autonomy in making that decision.

@3polygons well said!
