How we compiled this
Roster covers 12 drawing/graphics tablets (pen tablets and pen displays), entry through professional, from Wacom, Huion, and XP-Pen. Each product independently re-verified 2026-06-20 against official manufacturer pages (wacom.com, estore.wacom.com, huion.com, store.huion.com, xp-pen.com) and reputable retailers/reviewers (B&H, Best Buy, Adorama, Quill, CG Channel, PetaPixel, Parka Blogs, Windows Central). priceUsd reflects a published US price for the exact named model/config; where only a transient flash-sale price existed it was replaced with the stable MSRP/street price. active_area_in is the pen's drawable area; for pen displays this equals the panel area. screen_resolution is null for screenless pen tablets. boolean true = feature present. Key adversarial fixes this pass: Intuos S tilt_support corrected to false (Pen 4K has no tilt); Intuos Pro PTH-660 restored to a real published price (the draft's 'replaced by PTK670' was fabricated — PTK670 is not a Wacom model and PTH-660 is still sold); Cintiq 22 active area corrected to the true 18.7 x 10.5 in panel; Cintiq 16 2025 active area filled in (13.6 x 8.5 in); Wacom One 12 price corrected to $299.95; H640P price corrected off an Amazon flash sale. accessedAt 2026-06-20.
