It's amazing how patiently you explain all the details and quirks! Even though you have made many reviews like this already! I am impressed by your attention to detail and how good you explain all the cables and possible ways of connecting! Respect.
I don't know how I have never found you on TH-cam until now, but man you did an excellent job explaining this pen display. You also answered everyone's questions and went out of your way to test things for people. You are awesome keep up the great work! I just ordered the Kamvas pro 13 because thats all I could afford but this video gives me hope for Huion. Thanks!
Since XP Pen display or Wacom are the only competitors, the price is right! I paid almost 3k for my 1080p Wacom Cintiq 24" 6 years ago. When it breaks, I know what I will teplace it with. Thanks for the review!
tip: show the BACK of the pen display too. this is one thing nearly all reviewers consistently fail to do. it can be helpful to get a good look at all sides of the device; front, side ports and the back. for example, it might be useful to see if the device has VESA mounting holes
Thank you! This was very, very helpful! I'm a scientist who is looking at this for vector illustration of diagrams for explaining research, so precision of Bezier curve control points is important. Your review answered my questions about parallax and lag, and also got me thinking about raster artwork. I also appreciate your thoroughness and organization. Thank you!
Also regarding longer cables, the solution is very easy! It is possible, but trying to find USB-C extender with a plug slim enough is almost impossible. So I bought an HDMI extender (4K) and USB 3 extender. The Huion power cable is already long enough. Works like a charm with Kamvas Pro 13!
I feel a bit conflicted about these. I'm glad other companies finally caught up with displays but no matter which company when I see a 4k screen on a 16" display it makes me wonder if that's even necessary. I used to have a full hd 16" and it was already barely noticable, I could imagine for size like this a 2k screen or something similar would probably be just as clear as a 4k one :0. Anyway nice to see the review and the new screen!
@@softhusky Hm I'd have to go check this out but I think the density vs eye resolution still doesn't really make a difference but could be I'm too lazy to check exact number right now ;0
I am sure 4K has sense on a 16 screen if matte coating is not too visible. For exemple: on Cintiq Pro 16" the coating is sooo glared that 4K is totally useless.
Sony has read your complaints, and made a 4K panel for their 6" smartphone. Seriously though, my msp from Wacom has a 1440p screen, and it's nicer than the 13" cintiq pro my friend uses. You really have to pixel peep to see it though.
@@ohshiet6726 This is just another option for artists who need the extra resolution. Otherwise they can go with the 1080P display which is almost half price. But hopefully there will be 1440P option which I think is best in terms of value for money.
There is a store in my country that already selling these 4k models, and near the table there's a lot of tablet which is free to try inside the store, so I tried this one It's barely noticeable compare to 1080p 16". But I'm sure it's very beneficial to those whose working for bigger canvass and much more detailed , but I still consider a 4k on 16" a gimmick
As someone who puts a decent amount of detail into their character art, the difference is EXTREME. I can zoom in as much as I want and not see any pixels. However, on a 1080p display, I barely zoom in and even my line art becomes incredibly pixelated to the point where I can count the pixels.
24:33 I disagree. It also comes down to the latency of the display (and maybe the software/brush). And I'm surprise you didn't notice a difference with this one because the latency is pretty important (Wacom Cintiq Pro 32 : 8ms / Kamvas 22 plus : 14ms / Kamvas Pro 16 Plus 4K : 25ms). And it shows, even on this very video. I really don't understand why latency isn't something more considered in those review videos. This is such an important aspect that actually makes a difference between drawing on paper and drawing on a screen.
25ms is quite big and noticable for such a 'Pro Plus' device. I already own the standard Kamvas pro 16 for my second monitor (watch video reference) and you'll notice some ghosting there. I think I would go for 22 Plus if I want to upgrade. Since 4K is overkill for 16" screen.
Many thanks for the lovely review. I have two questions please, 1) is the main difference between the Pro 16 and Pro 16 Plus mainly the color accuracy? 2) I'm quite new to design, I understand this pen display works with design softwares like Photoshop, Illustrator etc, does it also work with Adobe Substance and 3D sculpting software ZBrush? Many thanks.
Some people are saying there isn't much of a difference between 4k and 1080p in 16" tablets, but I have to ask them if they've even used either display. Because there is an extreme difference. In my 1080p display, I can count the pixels after barely zooming in, even at 700ppi. On my Huion 16 4k, I have yet to be able to see the pixels no matter how much I zoom in.
Do you think the interface on a 16" tablet at 4k is too small? I've used 1440 on a 24" Xencelabs and 1080 on an old 13" Cintiq, but only 4k on a 32" monitor. I'm thinking of getting a Xencelabs 16" 4k, but I'm just a little worried about teeny tiny menus and sliders in programs like Zbrush and Clip Studio Paint. Thanks in advance.
Thank you for this review! This is a great screen tablet, I just wish it could be brighter :") i would have been willing to spend a little more for a brighter tablet
Hello Teoh Yi Chie! Thanks for all your videos, they are great! A question: I have a budget of 900 dollars, and I am deciding between this tablet for its 4k, and for the same price there is the Kamvas Pro 24, although in your video of the Kamvas Pro 24 you said that there is a paragliding problem in the edges, sides and in the corners of the tablet, that's why I ask you: Do you suggest the Kamvas Pro 16 plus for its 4k, or is the Kamvas Pro 24 recommended? And please one more question, the use I intend to give the tablet is for: drawing, 3d modeling, color work and video. Can they endure continuous work for more than 8 hours, or do they have to be switched off after a certain time of use? Thank you very much for all my friends, take good care of yourself, greetings from Bolivia!
In terms of value for money, Kamvas Pro 24 is better. The 1440P user interface on 27-inch is better for productivity than 1080P user interface (in sharp 4K) on 15-inch. So unless you really need 4K, I would recommend the Kamvas Pro 24 instead. They can be used for long hours just like any monitor. Oh, Huion is going to release another 24-inch monitor soon. If you can, wait till mid July to see their new model before you decide to buy.
Thank you so much for responding Teoh Yi Chie! I was sending you this message, because the Huion Kamvas Pro 24, is with a small discount where I live. and I wanted to take advantage of that promotion, which is for three more days. On the other hand, the new Huion Kamvas Pro 24, for sure it will be much better, but it will also come with a more expensive price perhaps. Ayayayayyy ... have a little more patience and look for a little more money for the new 24 Huion? Or with what I have now, take advantage of that discount promotion for these three days this week? Well thank you very much my friend. You are very helpful to thousands of people!
@@alexgarcia2055 The new 24 is a 4K display so it's going to be expensive. So my recommendation is to get the current Kamvas 24 with the 144P resolution. The resolution and size combo is good for productivity. And it should be cheaper so more worth the money. I don't know the price of the new 24 model
i'm glad you brought up kamvas 22 plus and this pro 16 plus comparison because these 2 are what i'm considering getting. i'll be sticking to the 22 plus lol
Question 1: Do you think that 4k resolution is overkill for a 16-inch display? As in, is it not really worth having a 4k display for something that small? Question 2: Do you think that it is too small of a display for more robust animation software? I'm thinking of upgrading from an old 22-inch display and am worried about the size of each frame being too small in an app like animate cc. Thank you for your time and don't feel pressured to respond. Great videos man, love the content!
Excellent review! Thank-you. (What a gorgeous tablet!) I have two questions: 1. Is the brightness control achieved by Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) or is it analog? (Is it flicker-free?) 2. Can you get thinner alternative pens? (I've never liked that thick design Wacom made standard.)
Great review! I'm currently using the XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro and I'm looking for an upgrade soon. I'm choosing between the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 Plus 4k and the Huion Kamvas Pro 24. Which one would you recommend? (I'm also considering the Wacom CIntiq 16HD but it has a 1080p screen rather than QHD or UHD)
@@teohyc Thank you! I'll keep that in mind. Between the XP-Pen Artist 24 Pro and the Huion Kamvas Pro 24, which one would you most recommend? The stand on the XP-Pen is a plus but the laminated screen on the Huion makes me consider it 😅
@@acrylicstroke6260 I personally prefer the XP-Pen because of the stand, 18 months of warranty, USB-C, higher brightness. Not having matte glass is not a downside since you get the same drawing experience on matte screen protector. Here's a side by side comparison of features: www.parkablogs.com/picture/xp-pen-artist-24-pro-vs-huion-kamvas-pro-24
@@acrylicstroke6260 I own an older version of Xp-pen 15.6. It's 3-4 years old and Xp-pen stop update my machine. The recent windows update can kill the old driver. I can't update my windows anymore if I still want to use my tablet. I love my drawing tablet before Xp-pen f. me up. So Xp-pen is a big No to me. I suggest you give other company a try.
Are there any other alternative pen to use with this product? I don't like how bulky Huion designed their pen. I'd imagine my thumb would sore in long use. I did on my old H58L until I change to Gaomon PD156pro.
I like that huion up the resolution of the pen display... Hopefully the make the 20" and above in 4k resolution because tbh, a 16" 4k display is kinda overkill... Still glad they made it tho...
Really appreciate your videos and thorough analysis! Putting aside the difference in price, which would you choose between the Kamvas Pro 16 (2.5K) and the Kamvas Pro 16 Plus (4K)? At this size, do you feel the increased pixel density is worthwhile? The absence of Express Keys are also of no concern, since I intend to use my keyboard and likely will be "mounting" either of these tablets on a laptop arm. Thanks for your opinion.
The price absolutely has to be considered since the 4K model is noticeably more expensive. And because of that, the 2.5K provides more value. The upgrade from 1080P to 1440P is more noticeable compared to 1440P to 4K. You also need to be sure your computer can drive 4K smoothly. Most computers can drive 4K but the big question is now smoothly.
@@teohyc Thank you for the response, Teoh, I really appreciate it! However, I think it somewhat misses the heart of my question. For context, I was originally considering the Kamvas Pro 24 4K but decided a 16" display is likely suitable for me. By going down in size, I already consider that to be a savings of $400-600 over the Kamvas Pro 24 4K and Wacom Cintiq Pro 16. Assuming, then, that someone handed you the Kamvas Pro 16 4K and 2.5K and, without telling you their prices, asked which you prefer purely based on features and user experience, which would it be? Do you think the increase in resolution provides a better experience? As mentioned, the Express Keys provide no value to me. In other words, $400-600 savings may already be more than sufficient for me, but if the increased pixel density is just not noticeable, then perhaps I move down further to the 2.5K. I'm the type to prefer to pay more now than to pay twice later, so this is a real struggle for me where it may seem an obvious choice to others. Thanks again!
@@mnap1595 4K will definitely have sharper visuals vs 1440P. If budget is not a problem, 4K is obviously better. But when considering price, the 1440P model provides more value for money simply because price will be lower. 4K is nice. But not having 4K is not missing out especially if you can get 1440P
Hy Teoh! May I suggest you a test? How it works in lower resolutions(accuracy, delay...etc, in full HD for example)? Because I ask myself if it could be a good idea buying an 4k tablet? Looking foward to the future PC upgrades.
How do the cables hold up on this device? Do they stay ing securely? I've had the huion kamvas pro 22 2019 and the cables were pretty bad staying in the device. Would you say with this device it's better? I use a Windows 10 laptop with clip studio. Another thing, does anyone know if Huion's customer service has gotten any better lately?
hello teoh Yi chie!! great explanation man!!!!!! one question: which tablet has better performance? huion kamvas pro 16 (2019) or huion kamvas 16 (2021) or XP pen artist pro 15.6? which of them has good pen performance?
Great review! Just wondering, do you use it as full 4K resolution with your Macbook Pro? The UI text seems really small at 4K. Anything you would recommend?
For this you have to use it at 1080P UI scaling which is the most optimal option without any scaling issues. To use it without scaling at native 4K is not possible.
@@teohyc Thanks so much! You're a legend. I was just reading about scaling and couldn't understand if it was reducing resolution as well. Much appreciated!!
Hello @tech Yi Chie do you know if the resolution of a drawing tablet's screen interferes or has issues with my native resolution of my primary computer monitor. For example if I have a 4K monitor and the tablet's resolution is at 1080p will there be an issue? I am debating on weather to get the 4K version of the Huion or the 1080p. Thanks
@@eijnew Wacom Mobile Studio Pro is portable. There are no competition from Huion or XP Pen in this area. However, in terms of value for money, if you already have a computer then I recommend going with iPad Air or iPad Pro which is cheaper than Wacom.
@@teohyc Thanks! I have a Legion 5 Ryzen laptop and was worried I wouldn’t be able to use it. But if I can use it with lower setting now, Ill later turn on the 4k once I upgrade to a pc.
Maybe a silly question, but is there a way to profit from the screen size and enlarge the page. It looks like the page stays smaller than an 8.5 x 11 page and puts all the icons on the side. Thanks.
Is the initial activation force on this feather light? Will it pick up a line with only the weight of the pen, or does it require some pressing to get a line? I think I'd like to buy one of these, but I definitely need a pen that I don't need to stress my hand at all to get a line out of. I haven't been able to try any of these competitors, but Wacoms and the Apple Pencil feel great to me, where Samsung S-Pens and Windows pens always seem to require more force to activate. If it feels like a Wacom in this regard then I am really interested in this device.
I no longer have this pen display so I can't test it again. But I don't remember anything amiss with the pressure sensitivity or initial activation force.
You are the best to this thx !! Sir, I have Mac book pro max 2021, and I want to buy this. Then can I use it with c to c cable between them? I really have wanted it.
@@teohyc sir, really I appreciate it. I have one more question to this, When it comes to Xp pen 16 artist pro, as you reviewed before, we can use it without AC electricity but there is 50% brightness limit. How about Kamvas pro 16, this product? Is there brightness limit? Or noise? Or product ability shrink? And I have universal question. I am a math teacher who teaches high school student from South Korea, and I use cintiq pro 24 for GoodNotes on MacBook But in GoodNotes, it has so much delay because I use MacBook Air 2020, intel core i3 8gb ram So, I want to use MacBook max 2021, the highest cpu, 64gb ram. Is it able to use GoodNotes with display tablet ? What do you think of it. I hope you could answer just your opinion. And have you use goodnotes5 on MacBook with display tablet? If you have, how about your experience? What is your MacBook model, sir? Could you tell me? And could you make review video about GoodNotes on MacBook with this kind of display tablet? I am really happy to see your TH-cam. Really really thx!!
@@pdfpdf1984 Most 12 - 16 inch pen displays will have some limit to brightness when just connected to the computer. To get maximum brightness you have to connect to additional power source. It's a monitor so most computer will be powerful enough to run it. My Macbook is M1 Macbook Air 2020.
Hi, how is kamvas pro 16 as a monitor? For watching movie or daily usage. Cause 4k displays are so expensive in my country, so can I use it in that way?
My only gripe is how my laminated display is completely smooth in some places, rough in some places, and really rough in others. It's extremely annoying.
What exactly happens if the pro 16 connects to a device that doesn't deliver 100% of the power it needs? The portable monitor I have has the screen flickering on low power supply. And when I lowered the brightness to half, it worked fine. What about the Pro 16? Does the screen not turn on at all?
@@teohyc Thanks for the reply! If so, for example, when connected to a power supply of 10W lower than the required power of 15W, is it correct that the maximum brightness is automatically adjusted to 60%?
@@teohyc Understood! Thank you for your kind explanation. If it's not rude, I have one more question. I'm having a hard time deciding between the XP-Pen Artist Pro 16TP 4K and the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 Plus (4K). Having tried both, which one do you think performs better (pen performance, wire configuration, glass texture, etc.)?
@@toyxyz3917 Huion probably performs slightly better but it's difficult to tell unless you have both side by side to compare. Huion pen tip is firm, and tilt sensitivity works right up to the edge. As for image quality XP Pen is better since the less textured more glossy surface does not affect image quality as much.
Products here just work for a month. Then customer service will not help you until warranty period is over. then the product cannot be fixed (disposable). The customer service will advise you to buy a new one. Lols such a waste...
And that's because the grain on this model is not distracting - more specifically it does not introduce colour noise like many of the pasted on screen protectors do.

2. Can you get thinner alternative pens? (I've never liked that thick design Wacom made standard.)
1. No PWM
2. I don't think alternative pens can be used. But it's best to ask Huion.
Great review!
I'm currently using the XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro and I'm looking for an upgrade soon. I'm choosing between the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 Plus 4k and the Huion Kamvas Pro 24. Which one would you recommend?
(I'm also considering the Wacom CIntiq 16HD but it has a 1080p screen rather than QHD or UHD)
1440P on 24 inch is less taxing on the computer. That resolution is also more productive compared to 4K but scaled to 1080P UI
@@teohyc Thank you! I'll keep that in mind.
Between the XP-Pen Artist 24 Pro and the Huion Kamvas Pro 24, which one would you most recommend? The stand on the XP-Pen is a plus but the laminated screen on the Huion makes me consider it 😅
@@acrylicstroke6260 I personally prefer the XP-Pen because of the stand, 18 months of warranty, USB-C, higher brightness. Not having matte glass is not a downside since you get the same drawing experience on matte screen protector.
Here's a side by side comparison of features:

@@teohontech7141 I agree with the film protector side. It hasn't bothered me with my one-year old 15.6 Pro.
Thanks again!
@@acrylicstroke6260 I own an older version of Xp-pen 15.6. It's 3-4 years old and Xp-pen stop update my machine. The recent windows update can kill the old driver. I can't update my windows anymore if I still want to use my tablet. I love my drawing tablet before Xp-pen f. me up. So Xp-pen is a big No to me. I suggest you give other company a try.
Can this use as external monitors, how you input hdmi like PS5 or switch
Yes
Are there any other alternative pen to use with this product? I don't like how bulky Huion designed their pen. I'd imagine my thumb would sore in long use. I did on my old H58L until I change to Gaomon PD156pro.
I don’t think alternative pens will work
I like that huion up the resolution of the pen display... Hopefully the make the 20" and above in 4k resolution because tbh, a 16" 4k display is kinda overkill...
Still glad they made it tho...
Really appreciate your videos and thorough analysis! Putting aside the difference in price, which would you choose between the Kamvas Pro 16 (2.5K) and the Kamvas Pro 16 Plus (4K)? At this size, do you feel the increased pixel density is worthwhile? The absence of Express Keys are also of no concern, since I intend to use my keyboard and likely will be "mounting" either of these tablets on a laptop arm. Thanks for your opinion.
The price absolutely has to be considered since the 4K model is noticeably more expensive. And because of that, the 2.5K provides more value. The upgrade from 1080P to 1440P is more noticeable compared to 1440P to 4K. You also need to be sure your computer can drive 4K smoothly. Most computers can drive 4K but the big question is now smoothly.
@@teohyc Thank you for the response, Teoh, I really appreciate it! However, I think it somewhat misses the heart of my question. For context, I was originally considering the Kamvas Pro 24 4K but decided a 16" display is likely suitable for me. By going down in size, I already consider that to be a savings of $400-600 over the Kamvas Pro 24 4K and Wacom Cintiq Pro 16.
Assuming, then, that someone handed you the Kamvas Pro 16 4K and 2.5K and, without telling you their prices, asked which you prefer purely based on features and user experience, which would it be?
Do you think the increase in resolution provides a better experience? As mentioned, the Express Keys provide no value to me. In other words, $400-600 savings may already be more than sufficient for me, but if the increased pixel density is just not noticeable, then perhaps I move down further to the 2.5K. I'm the type to prefer to pay more now than to pay twice later, so this is a real struggle for me where it may seem an obvious choice to others.
Thanks again!
@@mnap1595 4K will definitely have sharper visuals vs 1440P. If budget is not a problem, 4K is obviously better. But when considering price, the 1440P model provides more value for money simply because price will be lower. 4K is nice. But not having 4K is not missing out especially if you can get 1440P
@@teohyc Thanks. That helps.
Say sana ol 😂 4k 🤩
Excellent review!! Can you order it directly with Mac OS or did you install it after purchase? Also does this display work with Blender?
It’s a monitor so it does not come with MacOS. It can work with Blender
@@teohyc thank you! That is perfect I just ordered it! Excited to give it a go!
Hy Teoh! May I suggest you a test? How it works in lower resolutions(accuracy, delay...etc, in full HD for example)? Because I ask myself if it could be a good idea buying an 4k tablet? Looking foward to the future PC upgrades.
How do the cables hold up on this device? Do they stay ing securely? I've had the huion kamvas pro 22 2019 and the cables were pretty bad staying in the device. Would you say with this device it's better? I use a Windows 10 laptop with clip studio.
Another thing, does anyone know if Huion's customer service has gotten any better lately?
your drawing is nice, does this tablet still need a PC to be used or a stand alone tablet ?
Hi Teoh, if you had to choose, which would you use as your daily driver, the Pro 16 Plus or the Pro 24?
Is the bug pw517 fixed? The one combining pen buttons plus the tip creates lag and strange random behavior?
Can you use kamvas also for fusion 360 or any other cam software for creating 3D prints or cnc carving. Or is it only for drawing ?
Have you tried out the color picker that comes with it? I ordered it with mine and I am curious as to how good it is.
hello teoh Yi chie!!
great explanation man!!!!!!
one question: which tablet has better performance? huion kamvas pro 16 (2019) or huion kamvas 16 (2021) or XP pen artist pro 15.6? which of them has good pen performance?
These two have quite similar performance. Huion is slightly better in terms of pen accuracy
Great review! Just wondering, do you use it as full 4K resolution with your Macbook Pro? The UI text seems really small at 4K. Anything you would recommend?
For this you have to use it at 1080P UI scaling which is the most optimal option without any scaling issues. To use it without scaling at native 4K is not possible.
@@teohyc Thanks so much! You're a legend. I was just reading about scaling and couldn't understand if it was reducing resolution as well. Much appreciated!!
Hello @tech Yi Chie do you know if the resolution of a drawing tablet's screen interferes or has issues with my native resolution of my primary computer monitor. For example if I have a 4K monitor and the tablet's resolution is at 1080p will there be an issue? I am debating on weather to get the 4K version of the Huion or the 1080p. Thanks
Is this a portable tablet? I want to try going digital but I'm not sure what to look at. I want it to be able to disconnect and draw anywhere.
It’s not a tablet. It’s a computer monitor
@@teohyc would a wacom mobilestudio pro be the one that can be portable and draw anywhere? any counterparts from huion/xp pen?
@@eijnew Wacom Mobile Studio Pro is portable. There are no competition from Huion or XP Pen in this area. However, in terms of value for money, if you already have a computer then I recommend going with iPad Air or iPad Pro which is cheaper than Wacom.
Thanks for the vídeo, i have nvidia 750ti 2gb, ram 16, ssd 500gb and i7 3778 mhz, will it work well?
Hi, the app of huion ma and my dad downloaded doesn't want to work it keeps saying disconnected and the pen don't work 😢
Hello, please review huion RTP700
I'm always curious about how these device hold up when you draw diagonally at slow speed with a ruler.
Just to see if there will be a jitter.
Brad Kolbow always does that test
Question: Can the 4k resolution be turned down to 1080p to allow laptops that don’t support 4k to use it?
Thanks for the great review!
You can
@@teohyc Thanks! I have a Legion 5 Ryzen laptop and was worried I wouldn’t be able to use it. But if I can use it with lower setting now, Ill later turn on the 4k once I upgrade to a pc.
Will you be reviewing the new huion kamvas 19 pro that is releasing soon?
Can't review that as I'm currently moving house
@@teohyc Ahhh I see too bad. I only found one signle review on it :/
Maybe a silly question, but is there a way to profit from the screen size and enlarge the page. It looks like the page stays smaller than an 8.5 x 11 page and puts all the icons on the side. Thanks.
Most drawing apps will allow you to hide the palettes and tool bars that are by the side.
Huion has gotten far from the time i owned a Huion tablet.. It was really bad. But this seem like a huge step in the right direction.
Do you need a screen protection or does it come with a scratch resistant screen?
No need. the plastic nib will not scratch
Is the initial activation force on this feather light? Will it pick up a line with only the weight of the pen, or does it require some pressing to get a line? I think I'd like to buy one of these, but I definitely need a pen that I don't need to stress my hand at all to get a line out of.
I haven't been able to try any of these competitors, but Wacoms and the Apple Pencil feel great to me, where Samsung S-Pens and Windows pens always seem to require more force to activate. If it feels like a Wacom in this regard then I am really interested in this device.
I no longer have this pen display so I can't test it again. But I don't remember anything amiss with the pressure sensitivity or initial activation force.
@@teohyc thanks for the reply. Your reviews are always helpful.
hi, I bought this tablet, but I have a problem with the calibration, can you help?
Why would you want to use combination keys on the Keydial when you can map combination keys to a single key? That doesn't make any sense.
You are the best to this thx !!
Sir, I have Mac book pro max 2021, and I want to buy this. Then can I use it with c to c cable between them? I really have wanted it.
You can
@@teohyc sir, really I appreciate it.
I have one more question to this,
When it comes to Xp pen 16 artist pro, as you reviewed before, we can use it without AC electricity but there is 50% brightness limit. How about Kamvas pro 16, this product? Is there brightness limit? Or noise? Or product ability shrink?
And I have universal question. I am a math teacher who teaches high school student from South Korea, and I use cintiq pro 24 for GoodNotes on MacBook
But in GoodNotes, it has so much delay because I use MacBook Air 2020, intel core i3 8gb ram
So, I want to use MacBook max 2021, the highest cpu, 64gb ram. Is it able to use GoodNotes with display tablet ?
What do you think of it. I hope you could answer just your opinion. And have you use goodnotes5 on MacBook with display tablet? If you have, how about your experience? What is your MacBook model, sir? Could you tell me? And could you make review video about GoodNotes on MacBook with this kind of display tablet?
I am really happy to see your TH-cam. Really really thx!!
@@pdfpdf1984 Most 12 - 16 inch pen displays will have some limit to brightness when just connected to the computer. To get maximum brightness you have to connect to additional power source. It's a monitor so most computer will be powerful enough to run it. My Macbook is M1 Macbook Air 2020.
@@teohyc thank you, sir great !!
Hi, how is kamvas pro 16 as a monitor? For watching movie or daily usage.
Cause 4k displays are so expensive in my country, so can I use it in that way?
Works well as monitor
@@teohyc Thank you
Can this be used as a second screen? And can it fit in a 16inch bag?
Yes and yes
Hi. what version is this driver? Please)
Hello, can anyone confirm if you can run the Kamvas 16 (4k) at a lower resolution like 1440p (2k)?
You can get 1440P. However the UI will be very small on a 16-inch display, in other words unusable.
You are doing god's work by reviewing all those tablets for us, but please put a case on your iPad, it gives me anxiety!
That iPad used to have a case but it now has dents and scratches so I don't bother anymore
@@teohyc make sense, but it does give you a better grip when drawing and standing, at least the way I handle mine ^^
I have a question that I can't find the answer for it even thougg I googled.
Where is this brand from?
China
why do I get lag in photoshop but not in clip studio or Corel Painter. Huion Kamvas 13 2.5k
Maybe due to stabilisation setting applied to the line.
Can it connect to inspiroy keydial kd200
Yes, using the same driver as the pen display
My only gripe is how my laminated display is completely smooth in some places, rough in some places, and really rough in others. It's extremely annoying.
Does this thing got some VESA attachment options?
No
❤️
What exactly happens if the pro 16 connects to a device that doesn't deliver 100% of the power it needs? The portable monitor I have has the screen flickering on low power supply. And when I lowered the brightness to half, it worked fine. What about the Pro 16? Does the screen not turn on at all?
Depends on how low the power is. This pen display can only max out at certain brightness depending on power source
@@teohyc Thanks for the reply! If so, for example, when connected to a power supply of 10W lower than the required power of 15W, is it correct that the maximum brightness is automatically adjusted to 60%?
@@toyxyz3917 There's no specific brightness. The display will either be on, or it will black out after you increase the brightness to certain %
@@teohyc Understood! Thank you for your kind explanation. If it's not rude, I have one more question. I'm having a hard time deciding between the XP-Pen Artist Pro 16TP 4K and the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 Plus (4K). Having tried both, which one do you think performs better (pen performance, wire configuration, glass texture, etc.)?
@@toyxyz3917 Huion probably performs slightly better but it's difficult to tell unless you have both side by side to compare. Huion pen tip is firm, and tilt sensitivity works right up to the edge. As for image quality XP Pen is better since the less textured more glossy surface does not affect image quality as much.
16 plus有没有什么缺点？选择24寸还是16寸好一些呢？
What Mac mini did u have in this video?
M1 Mac Mini 2020
what if theres no power can have issues
It needs power
Does this version have touch screen?
No
Are you sure its 10 bit? huion advertise the new 24" 4k model as 10 bit but not this one
Will it heat on the top?
Slightly warm but not too bad. Not as warm as putting your hand on a typical LCD monitor
Is wacom stop producing new product? ‘-‘)
Wacom has a new pen display coming in June/July 2021
Okay thankyou
@@teohyc cintiq pro 27 ?
@@teohyc What size?
Cool .. but too expensive for most people I guess !!
Does this purchase make sense anymore now that Apple dropped their m1 ipad?
Choose based on the software you want to use. Main reason to get Huion is so that you can use desktop software.
3:35 Anti-Glare but all I see is glare lol
yeah. I also find it strange that anti-glare creates glare. lol
wtf huion still no pen barrel rotation? Dogsh*t😡 smh
2k res would be better for that screen size, 4k kinda overkill
Nice review btw
Products here just work for a month. Then customer service will not help you until warranty period is over. then the product cannot be fixed (disposable). The customer service will advise you to buy a new one. Lols such a waste...
warranty period is fucking 2 years!!! unless it’s didderent that the EU one I don’t see the ingorning you for 2 or even one year
Fails to mention the awful grain all of these new tablets bring along with this so called etched glass, quire disingenuous imo
And that's because the grain on this model is not distracting - more specifically it does not introduce colour noise like many of the pasted on screen protectors do.
I take it this does not have VESA mount holes to attach it to an arm?
No
