Ugee U1600 Pen Display Is there a better drawing tablet at this price? By Bill Henderson Special Thanks to the-gadgeteer.com for republishing permission Images courtesy of Ugee If you are an artist who uses drawing tablets, you may not have heard of Ugee. You may have heard of XP Pen or Xencelabs—but did you know both are owned by Ugee? What’s interesting is that Xencelabes is the new premium name in tablets; XP Pen is the mid-range while Ugee (the parent company) is the bargain brand of the three. Even so, Ugee has released a surprisingly good Pen display: the U1600. This little beauty is quite a capable graphics tablet that is shocking in its price vs quality. What is it? The Ugee U1600 Pen Display is a 16” (diagonal) drawing tablet that must be connected to a computer to work. A slightly less expensive 12” version is also available. The U1600 can be connected by a single USB-C (must be Thunderbolt capable) cable. It can also be connected via an included 3-1 connection cable.
