Graphics Drawing Display XP-Pen Artist Pro 22 (Gen 2) — 22 inch 2560×1440 QHD, 5080 lpi, 475.4×267.4 mm working area, 16:9

XP-Pen Artist Pro 22 (Gen 2) is a wired 22-inch drawing display with a 2560×1440 QHD resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. The display offers a large active working area of 475.392 × 267.408 mm and a pen resolution of 5080 lpi. The full-laminated AG nano-etched glass surface with anti-fingerprint coating and a frosted finish reduces glare and brings the pen tip closer to the cursor for a paper-like drawing experience. The panel supports wide 178° viewing angles and is compatible with Windows 7/8/10 and macOS 10.10 and later.

Advantages

The Artist Pro 22 (Gen 2) delivers higher pixel density and increased visible content compared with a standard FHD display, enabling more detailed work and less interface scrolling. Color performance is Calman verified with Delta E ≈1 (Adobe RGB), and the display covers wide color gamuts including sRGB, Adobe RGB and Display P3 for consistent color reproduction. The screen offers 250 cd/m² peak brightness, 1000:1 contrast ratio and DC dimming to reduce flicker. The X3 Pro smart chip stylus provides up to 16K pressure sensitivity and precise control suitable for illustration, retouching and design workflows.

Suitable for

• Digital illustration and concept art
• Photo retouching and color-critical editing
• Graphic design and layout work
• Animation and frame-by-frame drawing
• Education and online art demonstrations

How to use

Connect the display to a compatible computer using the supplied wired interface and follow the manufacturer’s driver installation instructions for Windows or macOS. Position the Artist Pro 22 at a comfortable drawing angle and install the driver software to enable pressure sensitivity, customizable buttons and color profile switching. Calibrate the display if needed using the provided Calman report or a hardware calibrator to achieve the best color match for your workflow. Use the X3 Pro stylus to draw directly on the matte surface; the full-laminated panel minimizes parallax so the cursor closely follows the pen tip.

Recommendations

For color-critical work, perform an initial hardware calibration and load the appropriate color space (sRGB, Adobe RGB or Display P3) according to the target medium. Use DC dimming for extended sessions to reduce flicker, and keep the surface clean with a microfiber cloth to maintain optimal touch and pen response. Maintain a maximum recommended reading height of 10 mm and avoid exposing the display to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
