One year later but bought a Gen2 Pen and it got delivered 2 hours ago. Firstly, it's missing the nib remover Secondly, pressure is AWFUL If you were just using it for taking notes PERHAPS you might keep it, but for any kind of digital art it's a huge nope!

I will be waiting for your reply. I am thinking of buying an RDS 160 or its worth spending more for RDS 220, Kamvas 22 plus or artist pro 16 gen 2 2.5QHD or any other Gaomon tablet? Please help 🙏 btw I am from India there are not much variety of Tablet available + they're a little more expensive so I prefer staying below ₹30,000 but if it's really worth it I can spend more.

public utility man, thank you!

Welp. This review convinced me. Plus I've got a Black Friday deal. Plus a functioning Edge browser coupon. So yeah, I'll take the risk with something that isn't Wacom. If I hate it I'll resell it and make an extra ~100 bucks on top! LOL!^^ But based on this very in depth info (plus your website which I used as a comparison for the XP-Pen equivalent, also extremely detailed) I doubt that's going to be the case. Thank you!

really funny that you put XP so high but Huion is soooo low compare to paying absurd 1300 $ bloody money for the most overrated wacom, with that damn money i can buy a Huion 24 inch

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I’m looking to get a new tablet around that size (currently using cintiq 16 fhd). How does the Xencelabs 24 display fare in your opinion? Would you recommend it?

Buying this for my granddaughter. I will also have to purchase a tablet What Android tablet do you recommend? Thanks for your help

Great review! 👍 Would be lovely if you could include color accuracy measurements pre and post calibration in the future.

Why i dont recomend touch tablets....its the hand grease, it get sin the way of the pen nib, it changes the velocity and control of the pen dramatically making it harder to control the line quality, that's why I've always use a glove, plus the grease of the hand helps to erode the screen faster getting scratches. And second... The heat, its like double the heat for the tablet to move electricity to the screen, if you live in a dry land like a dessert, get ready for the heat, the fan spins like crazy too.

This video is a breath of fresh air when most recommendation on youtube are just ads.

would you suggest more the wacom cintiq pro 24 or the Xp pen 24 gen 2 4k/165hz? I found them in my country both at the same price

I had an old non pro Cintiq 16 (DTK1660). And I must say that this was the first time I've seen screen that bad, it was very blurry, with noticeable pixel grid and AG sparkles, also it's not laminated. If old Cintiq 22 has the same quality screen, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Yes, Wacom pens are the best, but it's not worth it IMO. I have had a Huion 22 Plus for a few years and the screen quality is night and day.

hello, excellent video! I noticed in your notes for the Wacom Cintiq Pro 22 that you specified that you have it set at 60hz instead of 120hz and was wondering what the reasoning for that was? Thanks!

Great review as always! This series of comparisons between models is incredible!

I vote for a 24" tablets round (now with Black Friday ;) ), also (grateful for this one, too!). Very specially the 24 Plus, which seems to me the best deal (none, or minimal diagonal wobble, hopefully, though not sure. Almost the most important aspect for me). And I wonder about how it is for colors. I calibrated my Kamvas 22 (non Plus) with a colorimeter several times (the old and trusty i1 Display Pro), and did not get ideal results (a bit too much on the reds; seems that happened to others, too). But overall could make it work in the sRGB range, just not the finest color accuracy and overall result after color calibrated (couldn't adjust it to my Eizo, which is a very solid reference, if not the best possible). My everlasting question is how is it with both the 22 Plus and mostly, the 24 plus (a size which I very much prefer), in terms of drawing experience and colors, as the plus versions have a better screen, for all I understood from several sources. It is my hope that the 24 plus, as I think is more recent, have improved over the 22 plus in terms of screen quality (and so, of course, much better than the regular 22, the one I own). Oh...and I really dislike that these companies stopped putting the Adobe RGB and (less important) P3 coverage for certain models. Like... maybe 140% sRGB equals or almost to 95% of P3 in most cases, but it's important to know how much it covers of the Adobe RGB color space (specially for illustration and painting projects to be printed). But that's a shout in the dark...

I went from a Veikk 2200 Pro to a Huion Kamvas 16 Pro. 22" felt too large but 16" feels a little small, so 19" seems like the perfect size but it's so much more money.

thank you so much for making this video! I was so lost with the orientation, big help! 👏

Hi! I have a question. Is it possible to use the tablet with a USB-A to USB-C cable? I have one left over from my Huion Insproy Ink and I'm hoping to use that instead of paying 20 euro for the USB-C to USB-C one they sell.

Has the issues been fixed with new current drivers? Or maybe the newer versions of the gen2 pen have fixed the issue?

Nice review! Just wondering performance wise would you say this is similar to the Cintiq Pro 16? (regardless of size) I'm looking for display tablet mostly for drawing; I still do most my painting with an Intuos Pro for the ergonomics but wanted a display tablet for accurate drawing. I don't mind the smaller size of this one but if performance wise these feel similar, then I would go for this one to save money. Supposedly there's a new Intuos Pro coming out next year according to some rumors on Reddit!

My pen display doesn’t flip no matter what I do even after I click 180° in my pen tablet settings

Hi would you suggest more the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4k) or XP-Pen Artist 24 Pro (Gen 2) 4k?

I was really stressed out after trying to put in a Pro Pen 2 nib in my s-pen, saw posts on the internet that said that you could use it (and I really wanted something plastic that'd last longer, the cheap tempered glass protectors seem to eat through the rubbery nibs fast), but in reality it's off by millimeters, it's frustratingly close to perfectly fitting in but ultimately you'd probably have to file both the top of the stalk (as in length) and reduce its circumference by a tiny bit. I drew with it for about 2 or 3 minutes and I was really worried that I'd probably screwed it up, that in trying to save money I made myself need a new pen. Krita's diagnostics tools showed okay sensitivity and drawing felt no different but I refused to believe there wasn't something wrong with it. This video helped me get over that worry somewhat - pen tilt isn't really reliant on any /physical/ pressure, as in, nothing on the inside moves or really has the ability to get bent or loose when it comes to that functionality, it's something derived from calculations that don't even depend on /direct/ physical contact, even if you're hovering tilt is still in action. And as pressure... the construction and the mechanism doesn't really seem fragile enough to break or even get damaged from this, but I'm never experimenting like this again. Kinda wrote that all out at length like this because I want someone to tell me I'm wrong at some step, but it really feels like it's okay after all, this video put me at peace.

definitely the goat of drawing tablet videos, some of your videos should be university classes in art colleges, understanding how a tool works is fundamental

Great video as always! This new guide series is really cool! It's great to be able to see recommendations from people who own or have tested all of these models and can say for themselves which models are better when compared to other similar ones. Tks!

Would you still recommend Huion q630m pen tablet?

Nice video! I recently started drawing and bought a kamvas 16 (2021) , ill look into the 550 pen Thnx for the tip. Im going to make a reddit post about my setup as im using it with a Android tablet (not on the supported list huion provides but it has usbc video output so it works). Have you ever done a video about huion tablets on Android?

I would really appreciate it if you included a wacom pressure response curve in your video as well to make it visually clearer what the differences between the brands are.

As always, this was a great video. I appreciate your insight on these tablets and your purchasing advice!

would you recommend this or the xp pen pro 16 (gen2) for someone getting their first display tablet? i’m super torn between the two😭

Amazing, will you please do one for XP-Pen Artist Pro 24 GEN2 4k version?

I wonder how the HUION Kamvas Pro 13 (2.5K) compares to the Kamvas 13 (Gen 3). The extra resolution sounds nice on paper. Saw it on sale as low as $260 on Aliexpress 11.11 deals.

I would love to see you review the proart asus PX13. Not sure if you review those kind of tablets (technically PC's with pen input). I've been testing out an older surface laptop studio, and found the pen accuracy (line wobble/etc.) to be just as good or better than my daughter's brand new ipad pro 13 inch. I was extremely shocked at that. I'm looking at the PX13, which uses the same MPP2.0 tech, but I can't test out the pen functionality. Can't be sure the pen (and palm rejection / touch features) have been implemented as well as the surface line up.

Nice roudup man!

9:56 does this mean the S-pen that come with the latest Samsung Galaxy Tabs share the same issue?

Found this video because i lost my EMR pen... and it was a blessing in disguise!! Super intresting video

One question. Are the variations in the quality of a pen of the same model due to the pen alone or to a combination of the Pen and Pen Display? For example, if my pen has more diagonal wobble than that model usually has, if I use a new pen on the same Pen Display, the Diagonal Wobble may improve? Or even if I get a new, perfect pen, the problem may continue because it is a combination of how the pen works with the Pen Display which may be the cause of the excessive Diagonal Wobble due to some combined problem in how the digitizer is reading this pen?

Great review! I hope you make this guide for other sizes too!

The Kamvas 13 Gen 3 is on sale right now for 242 USD with stand and 224 USD without it 🔥

I guess the old Cintiq Pro 13 is not worth mentioning

Hi!! Nice video. I have a question for you. I hope you can answer. I used to draw occasionaly on an iPad. However, I have started working as an illustrator, which means 8hrs every day and my back and my neck don't like the iPads or display tablets. I went back to an old Huion from 2017, but I miss a display when doing precise linework. Therefore I was thinking about bying a pen display that can also work as pen tablet, and 13 inches would be ideal for this double function. SO my question is, which of these tablets offer the best surface to work as a pen tablet? I like a surface with some tooth to it. I would use it as a pen display only to do the linework, but most of the time I will use it as a pen tablet. Thank you for your time.

If this model is that good, should I wait for a new 22-inch with Pen Tech 4.0, buy the Pro 19 with Pen Tech 4.0, or go for the RDS 220 with Pen Tech 3.0+ support and find the best-measured pen with more than 600 gf? Are tablets with Pen Tech 4.0 better than those with an excellent pen from the Pen Tech 3.0+ series? What are your thoughts on this topic? Are there any other reasons, apart from pen pressure, that make tablets with Pen Tech 4.0 superior?

In terms of sparkle and screen, would you say it's similar/better/worse than XP-Pen Artist Pro 16 gen 2? That one has slightly higher pixel density which seems to increase sparkle, but I see good feedback on it compared to older Huion tablets.

Great Review! I was surprised by the qualities you mentioned about this one. I thought it was a much more entry-level Pen Display.

I want you to know just how much I appreciate the time and effort you've spent recording and tabulating this comparative data for these reviews. Your presentation is straightforward without being un-engaging. I feel like I have a much better understanding of what kind of performance I can expect out of this tablet thanks to you. Keep being awesome.

Gen 1 had an issue with tilt not able to handle transition through horizontal/vertical angle when drawing slowly. Can be seen here: th-cam.com/video/aXqCuDE8Hv4/w-d-xo.html I experienced it on Artist Pro 24 and I think I recall finding someone reporting the same issue on at least one other XP-Pen gen 1. Do you know if gen 2 has this issue resolved?

Actually XP PEN did specify contrast and response time in the "Compare" option on the site! Response Time 15ms, Contrast Ratio 1000:1

i would love to see you put Pro Pen 2 and 3's max pressure and pressure transiton info as well in the charts 3:20 4:00 .Solid video as usual man

Not here to rant, but i seriously die a little more inside every tablet release because I legitimately bought a DTC133 at full price in 2024. Despite the pen feeling premium, its IAF was somehow worse than a PW100, and apparently, isn't covered by warranty where i bought it - that thing is costly to replace. Suffice to say, i can't see myself buying another wacom product for the foreseeable future. Thanks a lot for your informative videos, 7Pens!

Excellent overview! 11:13 This must depend on the retailer. The main listing on Amazon US says there is a ST300 stand in the box in multiple places. But on the Huion shop it says there is 2 versions you can buy, one with the stand and one without. I guess if you see it for $249 without discount that will be without a stand
