@@plainlysimple Go set some keyframes!! what of the non response to faint touching the tip to "paper" some say it needs a bit of pressure where Wacom is more responsive in the light touch... tanks
thanks to this video i decided to go for the 4k version. It was on a black friday sale, just 60$ more expensive than the 2.5k. But if it wasn't for that i would definitely go for the 2.5k. The faster response time, the felt nibs, and one thing you forgot, the qled screen, with higher contrast and color gamma were very tempting.
Thank you so much for making this video. It helped me choose the best option. I'm going with the 2.5k model since your explanation clarified what would be useful for my digital drawing needs. As someone new to digital art, I believe any of these tablets would feel great, so I'll go with the mid-range option as it seems to have the most advantages for me.
Hi! Thanks for watching and glad to know you liked it! 😊 My day isn't really always interesting 😅 But we'll see, maybe we'll make that video in the future 😄
Really thankful for this review ive been switching from the 16 Pro and 16 Pro plus cause i didnt know what I should go for. Im a student and i need the tablet for school stuff. Thanks alot for your comparison! Made my choice much easier! Very thankfull
This made me not feel as bad for my impulse buy- I bought a 16 pro (2.5K) used on Ebay for $238. But it is impossible to find the 4K for under $450 at the moment (Even with deals on used or refurbished)... so at nearly half the price, the 2.5K might even outshine the 4K.
Amazing video!! Love these comparison reviews. I believe they make it much easier to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each model when compared side by side. I've been researching the 16" models, I'm thinking about getting the new XPPen Artist PRO16 (Gen2), many artists are talking very well and saying that it's a huge evolution in XPPen Pen Displays. It would be incredible to see a comparative review like this between it and the Kamvas Pro16 2.5K, as both are QHD and in the same price range.
Hey! I’ve seen a review between the XPPEN pro 16 vs the Huion 16 a few days ago! If you search for it you should find it :) it had fanart of XPPEN and Huion mascots
I just got the artist pro 16 gen 2 and been using for almost a month, and as much as I tried to like it it left me disappointed. So I might return it and go for a huion instead.
@@broadwayzjm5257 Could you tell us about the problems you encountered and why you didn't like it? It would help a lot to be able to choose knowing the possible problems
I can relate so much wih the switch screen segment of the video...i personally have set one of the keys to (Windows + Shift + Left Arrow) to make windows jump from one screen to another on my PC. I just select the program from taskbar and make the window jump to my pen tablet. It feels more natural to me rather than making my mouse pointer jump to another screen.
Yes, that's another solution. 😊 It's a matter of preference. I personally prefer having the mouse pointer jump from screen to screen but this solution could also work 😊
Basically. Pro 16 2021 Supremacy 😈😈😈 sure it isn't 4k but you don't need 4k for a 16 inch display 😳 not to mention all 3 products have USB C connection 😱.
Do you notice a different in the parallax between the kamvas 16 2021 and the kamvas pros since the first one has a screen protector and the others have etched glass?
I got the pro 16 for Christmas I have yet to be able to use it! First I got no signal issue figure that out finally. Now I basically have a tablet as a second monitor. I have not been able to get the pin to work on the tablet. It’ll show up working on the AOSC screen I have but not on the tablet. I am beyond frustrated with this product. It should be plug-in play. My computer is a new running Windows 11
I'm sorry to hear you're having trouble with your tablet. Have you tried troubleshooting by checking the drivers or restarting your computer? Also what’s your cable setup? Are you using the single usb c cable? If you can’t resolve the problem you can try contacting the huion customer support
Hi, Thanks for this review Im going to buy the 2.5K version I want to connect it as a third monitor . There are two monitors connected to my PC. So can I connect the 2.5K with em? You said it’s connected via hdmi port to the PC which has only two ports in my GTX 1080 ti GPU Could you help me please? Thanks
Hi! Yes the port is hdmi. I'm not familiar with the GTX 1080 ti, you need to look at their website and look at the specifications to see what you want is doable 😊
@@TheNoviceAnimator_It’s very good but if i have time choose again I would choose the normal one not the 2.5 K because the resolution makes everything too small My brother owns the normal one ( sorry I can’t remember the exact model name ) and it’s very good also.
4K to 1080p is not half the resolution, it's a quarter. 1080 is "1K" And getting a USB-C cable is no guarantee it will work. Has to be thunderbolt, or have mention of 'Alt DP' in case they are not labeled with Thunderbolt. The required Wattage will depend on the display you have.
Hi! That depends on what’s important to you. If I have to choose, I’ll pick the 2.5k as the 16 inch is the perfect size for me. And resolution and hidpi is a big factor for me. But if size is a big factor for you then choose the 22. The 22 has a max resolution of 1920 x 1080 so it will look a bit pixelated compared to the 2.5k. For me, I don’t like to work on a pixelated screen, and I want my drawings to look very crisp. But if you’re not bothered by it looking a bit pixelated then go for the 22. If hidpi is a big factor then choose the 2.5k
Question: I plan to use one of these for editing photos. Can you tell the difference between the 25ms vs 14ms response time when editing photos or drawing? Thank you.😀
The response time indicates how quickly the display's content is being updated. Most screens that operate in 60Hz have an average response time of 16.7ms. it's only noticeable when you directly interact with the screen i.e. when gaming or drawing in this case. It shouldn't be much of a concern when editing photos.
Hi! You would need to setup the shortcut, it's not on by default. You need to open the huion tablet app, and choose a button, then it's under tools then switch screen. 😊
I haven't tried pro 16 1080 res, so take this with a grain of salt, but I would say the 2021 version is better because it's newer (they've used latest tech, latest usb c etc.). I've looked at the specs and they're the same on a glance. The 2021 has more buttons, so I think the 2021 has a slight edge over the pro 16 1080p
@@puashati7622 ofc it has a screen btw? i have few quesiton about it Do tablets like urs need a pc or laptop not? i mean u must connect them to pc or laptop right? do u need open photoshop in tablet & pc sametime? do u must instal photoshop on ur tablet from pc? do ur tablet is like a laptop & can instal other softwares on it too? for example video player or .. ?
Hi! I'm not sure what you mean by chromatic aberration? I have been using it for about 2 years and I haven't noticed anything. If you're talking about some slight color shifts around the edges, I do notice a little bit only when I put a white solid on the edges, but I'm not bothered by it since the edges are the UI of the software I'm using. And I don't notice it when it's colored. I could only barely notice it on white. This is also true for my wacom cintiq so I think it's normal as the gadget ages. But aside from that I don't see any color issues. Hope that helps 😊

Hello! Thank you for making this super in-depth video! I'm still a bit confused with screen resolution :/ I have a 5k 27" iMac, so wondering which of these three screens would offer the best experience when paired? I'm not fussed if it has buttons or not, but would like the UI not to be super tiny (I have old person eyes) but also it to be nice a crispy, not blurry. I hope someone can help me decide :D
Based on what you're describing here, I think 4k is the one for you. 4k doesn't have any buttons. The UI isn't too small, and it's 4k. 😊 You can check out the specs here: store.huion.com/products/kamvas-pro-16-4k-series?af_code=C61OHJ

they have the new 4k with the button but the price increased 50% ,,,its not justified hahahah so I think I gonna get the 2.5k ,,with 16 inch display it isnt going have a big differnce for beginner for me I gonna save a lot of many than getting the 4k with no button ,,,,,,and I can buy some figurine hahah ,,and I just comeback to drawing after 10 years ,,,,,,I just want to have a hobby like when I was middle schooler hahah
Awesome set up. I’m on a budget with a 32” Ben-Q Monitor, 24” XP-Pen 2K display tablet, M2 Mac mini, Logitech MX Keys (nice n flat), and an MX Keys Mini when using the tablet, and a Kensington wireless Orbit (coz I’m old and get wrist and joint issues). I just ordered the Huion 24” 4K Kamvas coz 2K just doesn’t cut it on a 24” display tablet! But 24” is great as it is a little smaller than the 32” monitor - and because of the size, the massive 24” display tablet pushes the 32” back far enough for it to look like a 27” with 4K. Another plus of the Huion is the laminated display - so no parallax issues… and of course, having 4K right up to the pen should be amazing. Well, I have my fingers crossed anyways!
