XPPen Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) – 4K 120Hz Professional Touch Drawing Display

A Massive Canvas. Master-Level Colour. Built for Serious Creativity.

Step into a bigger creative workspace with the XPPen Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) — a flagship professional drawing display combining an expansive 26.9-inch 4K UHD screen, an ultra-smooth 120Hz refresh rate, 10-point X-Touch multi-touch control, exceptional professional colour accuracy and XPPen's advanced 16K pressure-sensitive X3 Pro stylus technology.

Designed for professional illustrators, animators, graphic designers, photographers, 3D artists, industrial designers and digital creators, the Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) gives you the space and precision to work without compromise.

Its huge 3840 × 2160 4K display lets you see more of your artwork, toolbars and timelines at once, while 1.07 billion colours, 99% Adobe RGB, 99% sRGB, 97% Display P3 and Delta E < 1 colour accuracy make it an exceptional choice for colour-critical professional work.

Add a 120Hz refresh rate, dual X3 Pro styli, fully laminated etched-glass drawing surface, HDR support and intuitive multi-touch control, and you have a seriously powerful creative workstation built around the way artists actually work.

Massive 26.9-Inch 4K Creative Canvas

More room. More detail. Fewer compromises.

At the heart of the Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) is a huge 26.9-inch ADS-IPS display with a native 3840 × 2160 4K UHD resolution.

The large working area allows you to see more of your artwork without constantly zooming and panning, while leaving plenty of room for brushes, layers, palettes, timelines and other creative tools.

Whether you're working on highly detailed illustrations, complex 3D scenes, large Photoshop documents or multi-layer animation projects, the Artist Pro 27 gives your creativity room to breathe.

Display Highlights

  • 26.9-inch professional drawing display

  • 3840 × 2160 4K UHD resolution

  • ADS-IPS display technology

  • 16:9 aspect ratio

  • 120Hz refresh rate

  • 5ms response time

  • 350-nit typical brightness

  • 178° wide viewing angle

  • 1.07 billion colours

  • HDR support

  • Fully laminated display

  • Anti-glare etched glass

  • Anti-fingerprint coating

Ultra-Smooth 120Hz Refresh Rate

Once you've drawn at 120Hz, going back can feel very different.

The 120Hz refresh rate allows the Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) to refresh the image up to 120 times every second, resulting in noticeably smoother movement than a traditional 60Hz display.

Fast brush strokes appear more fluid, canvas movement feels more responsive and navigating complex 3D scenes or animation timelines becomes considerably smoother.

Combined with a fast 5ms response time, the display reduces visible pen trail and motion blur during rapid movements.

It's particularly useful for:

  • Digital illustration

  • Animation

  • 3D modelling

  • Video editing

  • Fast brush work

  • High-frame-rate content

  • Detailed photo retouching

  • Large canvas navigation

4K Detail You Can Actually Use

A display this large deserves 4K.

With 3840 × 2160 pixels, the Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) provides four times the pixel count of Full HD, allowing fine details, brush textures, typography and intricate linework to remain beautifully sharp.

The combination of a large 27-inch canvas and 4K resolution means you don't have to choose between workspace and image clarity.

Zoom out to see the bigger picture or zoom in to work on individual details — either way, your artwork remains crisp and clear.

Professional Colour Accuracy

For professional creative work, colour isn't something you want to guess.

The Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) delivers exceptionally wide colour gamut coverage:

  • 99% Adobe RGB

  • 99% sRGB

  • 97% Display P3

It also produces 1.07 billion colours, allowing extremely smooth gradients and subtle tonal transitions without the harsh banding that can occur on lower-colour-depth displays.

Colour Gamut Volume

  • sRGB: 149%

  • Adobe RGB: 110%

  • Display P3: 110%

Whether you're designing for print, producing digital artwork, grading photographs or preparing creative work for professional delivery, the Artist Pro 27 is built to show colour with impressive depth and consistency.

Calman Verified Colour Accuracy

The Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) is Calman Verified, helping ensure professional-grade colour accuracy straight out of the box.

With an average colour accuracy of Delta E < 1, colour differences are extremely difficult for the human eye to distinguish.

This makes the display particularly well suited to colour-sensitive applications such as:

  • Professional photography

  • Print design

  • Branding

  • Concept art

  • Illustration

  • Video production

  • Colour grading

  • Digital painting

XPPen ColorMaster Colour Calibration

For creators who need even greater control over their colour workflow, the Artist Pro 27 supports XPPen ColorMaster colour management software.

ColorMaster allows supported colourimeters to be used to further calibrate colour temperature and colour space, helping maintain consistent colour performance throughout the life of the display.

A compatible colourimeter is required for hardware calibration and is sold separately.

1.07 Billion Colours

Smooth skies. Subtle skin tones. Natural shadows. Delicate gradients.

The Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) supports up to 1.07 billion colours, giving you considerably finer colour transitions than a traditional 8-bit display.

This means gradients appear smoother, subtle changes in lighting are easier to see and detailed colour work can be performed with greater confidence.

HDR Support

Bring highlights and shadows to life.

The Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) supports HDR, expanding the available dynamic range so bright highlights, darker shadows and fine texture details can be reproduced more naturally.

For artists working with dramatic lighting, photography, animation or video content, the additional dynamic range helps reveal details that can otherwise become lost in very bright or very dark areas.

X-Touch 10-Point Multi-Touch Control

Your pen isn't the only way to control your canvas.

XPPen's X-Touch technology adds responsive 10-point multi-touch control, allowing you to interact naturally with your creative workspace using familiar finger gestures.

You can use touch controls to:

  • Zoom in and out

  • Rotate your canvas

  • Pan across your artwork

  • Scroll through documents

  • Navigate menus

  • Access customised functions

  • Control your workspace without constantly reaching for a keyboard

Touch gestures can also be customised to better match your preferred workflow.

Customisable Touch Areas

Don't want your palm or hand accidentally triggering something while you're drawing?

The Artist Pro 27 lets you configure non-touch areas, helping prevent unintended touch input during detailed work.

You can also access a customisable floating menu for frequently used functions such as:

  • Copy

  • Paste

  • Delete

  • Undo

  • Tool shortcuts

And when you don't need touch control at all, the dedicated touch switch makes it easy to disable it.

Dual X3 Pro Styli Included

Different artists prefer different pens, so XPPen includes two professional X3 Pro styli with the Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2).

X3 Pro Smart Chip Stylus

The full-size X3 Pro Smart Chip Stylus features a comfortable silicone grip designed for stability during long drawing sessions.

Its traditional pen-style body makes it ideal for artists who prefer a fuller grip.

X3 Pro Slim Stylus

Prefer something lighter and slimmer?

The included X3 Pro Slim Stylus features a tapered design that gives you a clearer view around the pen tip, making it excellent for detailed linework and precision drawing.

Both pens use XPPen's advanced X3 Pro technology and require no charging or batteries.

16,384 Levels of Pressure Sensitivity

Tiny pressure changes can completely change a brush stroke.

The Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) supports an incredible 16,384 levels of pressure sensitivity, giving compatible brushes significantly more pressure information to work with.

Press lightly for delicate sketching and fine lines, then gradually increase pressure for thicker, darker and more expressive strokes.

This enormous pressure range provides extremely precise control over:

  • Line thickness

  • Opacity

  • Brush flow

  • Shading

  • Texture

  • Brush dynamics

Ultra-Light 3g Initial Activation Force

You shouldn't have to push hard just to make your first mark.

The X3 Pro stylus requires an initial activation force of only 3 grams, allowing even extremely light pen strokes to register naturally.

It's particularly noticeable when sketching, cross-hatching, feathering shadows or creating very fine linework.

Up to 60° Tilt Support

Hold your pen the way you would hold a traditional pencil or brush.

The Artist Pro 27 recognises up to 60° of pen tilt, allowing compatible creative applications to reproduce natural shading and brush behaviour according to the angle of your stylus.

This makes digital sketching and painting feel considerably more natural.

Stylus Performance

  • 16,384 pressure levels

  • 3g initial activation force

  • Up to 60° tilt recognition

  • ±0.4mm centre accuracy

  • 10mm reading height

  • 5080 LPI resolution

  • Battery-free EMR technology

Fully Laminated Display

The Artist Pro 27 uses a fully laminated screen, bringing the display layer and drawing surface closer together.

Reducing the distance between the physical stylus tip and the cursor underneath improves visual accuracy and reduces parallax.

The result is a more convincing experience where it feels like you're drawing directly onto your artwork rather than on a sheet of glass above it.

New-Generation Luminous Etched Glass

Drawing on a glossy monitor can feel slippery and unnatural.

XPPen's new-generation luminous etched glass gives the Artist Pro 27 a subtle paper-like drawing feel while reducing unwanted reflections.

The etched-glass layer is just 0.7mm thick and has been engineered to improve light transmission by approximately 30%, helping preserve image clarity while still offering a tactile drawing surface.

It also helps reduce fingerprints — particularly useful on a display designed around both pen and touch input.

TÜV SÜD Low Blue Light Certified

Big creative projects can mean long hours in front of a screen.

The Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) features TÜV SÜD Low Blue Light certification and hardware-level eye-care technology designed to reduce potentially uncomfortable blue-light exposure during extended use.

That makes it better suited to those projects where "I'll just finish this layer" turns into another three hours.

Huge 596.7 × 335.7mm Working Area

This isn't a small drawing tablet pretending to be a desktop workstation.

The Artist Pro 27 gives you an enormous 596.7 × 335.7mm active drawing area, creating a much more natural scale for large sweeping strokes and detailed artwork.

For professional artists accustomed to working on larger canvases, the additional space can make a significant difference to comfort and workflow.

Included Adjustable Stand

A 27-inch drawing display needs proper ergonomic support.

The Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) includes the ACS02B adjustable stand, allowing you to position the display at a more comfortable working angle rather than laying it flat on your desk.

This is especially useful during long drawing sessions where wrist, arm, neck and shoulder positioning becomes increasingly important.

ACK05 Wireless Shortcut Remote Included

Your keyboard doesn't need to live right next to your drawing display.

The included ACK05 Wireless Shortcut Remote gives you quick access to frequently used keyboard shortcuts and commands.

Assign your favourite creative functions to the remote and control things like:

  • Undo and redo

  • Brush size

  • Zoom

  • Rotate

  • Tool selection

  • Eraser

  • Layer commands

  • Custom application shortcuts

The remote can connect using the included receiver or Bluetooth, giving you greater freedom when arranging your workspace.

Combined with X-Touch, it creates a powerful setup where you can draw, navigate and control your software without constantly reaching for your keyboard.

Physical Display Controls

For frequently used display functions, physical controls remain available directly on the Artist Pro 27.

Dedicated controls can be used for functions including:

  • Brightness adjustment

  • Video signal switching

  • Power

  • Touch control

Sometimes a proper button is still the quickest solution.

Multiple Professional Connectivity Options

The Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) is built to fit into professional desktop setups and supports multiple display connection standards.

Connections

  • 1 × Full-featured USB-C

  • 1 × HDMI

  • 1 × DisplayPort

  • 1 × 3.5mm headphone output

  • 1 × DC power input

This gives you flexibility when connecting modern laptops, desktops, workstations and compatible Android devices.

For DisplayPort or HDMI connections, the video connection and USB data connection are both required.

Built-In 3.5mm Audio Output

A handy addition for creators working with audio, animation or video is the built-in 3.5mm headphone output.

Connect compatible headphones or speakers directly to the Artist Pro 27 as part of your workstation setup.

Android Device Support

The Artist Pro 27 isn't limited to desktop computers.

It can also connect to compatible Android 10.0 or later smartphones and tablets using USB-C.

The Android device must support:

  • USB 3.1

  • DisplayPort 1.2 video output

External power is required for the Artist Pro 27.

Professional Connectivity Without Cable Chaos

XPPen has also included a rear cable cover to help keep your connections organised and secure.

For a large desktop creative workstation where HDMI, DisplayPort, USB and power cables can quickly become messy, it's a small detail that makes a surprisingly big difference.

Designed for Quiet Professional Workspaces

The Artist Pro 27 uses a top-and-bottom airflow design for silent cooling, helping manage heat while avoiding unnecessary distraction during creative work.

That's particularly useful in studios, offices, classrooms and other environments where the display may remain powered on for long periods.

Built for Professional Creative Work

The sheer size, resolution and colour performance of the Artist Pro 27 makes it suitable for a huge range of creative applications.

Digital Illustration

The combination of a 27-inch 4K canvas, 16K pressure sensitivity and X-Touch gives illustrators an enormous, highly responsive workspace.

Graphic Design

Keep artwork, palettes, toolbars and reference material visible simultaneously while taking advantage of professional Adobe RGB and sRGB colour coverage.

Animation

A 120Hz refresh rate and 5ms response time make movement and animation previews considerably smoother while Delta E < 1 colour accuracy assists with accurate colour work.

3D Modelling & Rendering

The huge 4K canvas provides plenty of room for models, timelines, materials and tool panels, while touch gestures make navigating and manipulating 3D environments more intuitive.

Photography & Retouching

With Calman Verified colour, wide-gamut coverage and 4K resolution, the Artist Pro 27 is an excellent platform for detailed retouching and colour-sensitive image work.

Industrial Design

Precise stylus input, tilt support and the etched drawing surface provide a natural environment for sketching, design concepts and detailed product work.

Art Education

The large 27-inch display makes demonstrations easier to see, while touch control allows instructors to navigate content naturally during creative lessons and presentations.

  • Windows computer

  • Mac

  • Linux computer

to function.

It also requires external power using the included power adapter.

The Ultimate Big-Screen XPPen Creative Workspace

The XPPen Artist Pro 27 (Gen 2) is built for artists who want space, precision and professional display performance without compromise.

Its enormous 26.9-inch 4K canvas gives you room to work naturally. The 120Hz refresh rate makes every interaction feel smoother. Calman Verified Delta E < 1 colour accuracy and wide Adobe RGB, sRGB and Display P3 coverage give professional creators confidence in their colours.

Add intuitive 10-point X-Touch, dual 16K X3 Pro styli, a fully laminated etched-glass drawing surface, HDR support, an included adjustable stand and the ACK05 Wireless Shortcut Remote, and the result is much more than a drawing tablet.

It's a complete professional creative workstation designed to put your artwork centre stage.
