TODAY TIME i got my drawing tablet! I ended up getting a Huion Kamvas 13 which was around $259 i'd say....(the one that Brad was talking about in this video). I use a Windows laptop, (i didnt have any problems with the cable...could have just been my laptop) and i love it! I highly recommend this tablet 👌 the pen is really nice and the screen is great. I got mine from amazon, and the package came with the glove, a stand, a cloth to clean the screen, the cables, and extra pen tips (inside of a little case that you hold your pen in). Its really nice so far, and i have draw lots of things with it! I use clip studio paint mainly, but honestly it works like a normal monitor. I am able to watch videos as well as switch between tabs, apps, and other things really easy. The drawing is good as well, for my first pen tablet, its really awesome and i highly recommend it!
Thank you for that info! ^^ This really seals the deal for me. I plan to buy the Huion Kamvas 13 tomorrow, but it's great hearing other peoples reviews as well. Boosts my confidence in this purchase!
how long did it take to charge for the first time? Mine won't turn on due to low battery and it's been charging for 6 hours and it just won't stay on for longer than a couple seconds!
Don't worry mate been sketching all my life, never colored in a damn thing, could never color 😂 I don't see colors the way other artists see it, my things look horrible when colored.
Been waiting for this review in particular, I've been wanting to upgrade from my old regular huion tablet to a screen display and with this ones affordable price I thought it was good for the moment but wanted to hear what you had to say, probably going to get this version soon. Update: Ordered it and it should be here in the middle of May. Update: Got it, and it works perfectly.
Sort of late here but how do you setup the tablet? I don't really know too much about all this but I thought that with the smaller devices if the stand doesn't hold it very high I'll have to break my neck working on it
I recommended this tablet for my little cousin who is starting digital art.. I got scared from the negative reviews about Huion but this review is a relief. she bought it and I hope she is having fun with it.
man I was EXCITED for this review to come out. I had my eye on this one since the beginning of the year, and wanted to wait till your review came out to fully decide if I want it.
I just got Huion Kamvas Pro 13 a week ago and so far, I'm loving it. I hadn't experienced any issues and difficulties. Overall, this is a great drawing/graphics tablet. Edit: Getting real better with my art style digitally! I think it's pretty neat
@@unforgettablec The tablet comes with 2 cords in order to connect to the laptop. The screen tht ur laptop shows also shows it on the tablet. U can download art software from your laptop to the tablet
Brad, thanks so much for your reviews. I picked up the Green version of this tablet and it is FANTASTIC! I am enjoying it very much so far. By the way, I used my MacBook's USB-C hub/adapter in reverse to hook it up to my Samsung Galaxy S10 smartphone and the tablet worked fine with DeX and the 3-in-1 cable. No special USB-C cable needed. Regardless, I ordered the special cable from Huion to use it with just a single USB-C cable on my MacBook Pro in the future. Amazon will ship this faster if you get the tablet bundle without the stand. I ordered the Parblo tablet stand since it has more height adjustment options than the Huion stand.
Would you recommend this over Wacom? I’ve been looking for my first drawing tablet but I’m not sure if I should commit to spending all the money on a Wacom tablet.
The diagonal line with ruler test, quite impressive. I wouldn't buy a small tablet (not below 22), but for those after a 13 inches pen display, I'd go for this one.
@Mush.Boi tbh not just huion. my first tab was an xp-pen. before my wacom worked i had to uninstall the xp-pen driver. it confuses your computer i think. unless it's fixed now somehow?
After looking at it,...meh. Too many shortcuts taken. Its far from a powerhouse. It's probably exciting for many Huion loyalists, but otherwise....just meh.
Awesome review. It's nice to see that HUION is growing more and more widespread as cheaper alternative to the big brands that inflates the price just because TEH BRAND.
If you go into DeX settings, under experimental features there is an option to force apps to go full screen. If you enable that then nearly every app will then be able to work in full screen.
Yeah it's broken. Very badly. I try to use dex for open camera (feed the output into my pc and use it as a studio camera) messes up real bad. In fact every camera app messes up terribly including Samsung's own app.
I purchased this after watching. I wanted something truly portable, but for my first drawing tablet I didn't want to break the bank (especially due to being laid of because of well...you know) and I didn't want to sacrifice quality and I felt like I would be with android drawing tablets like the chui hi9 plus and the picasso tab. I have a laptop, not a computer so it'll still be kinda sorta portable. Hopefully it works out for me. Thanks for the video!
I have a question, I got one like this too recently. However where the pen touches and where the pen draws randomly decalibrates and that's really annoying. Then randomly gets ok again. And on the Concepts app where the circle menu thing is on the top left, the pen is never well calibrated in that area of the screen. Other than this I REALLY LIKE IT so please give me advice on how I could try fixing this or if I should send it back and get a replacement? Thank you very much in advance!
Thanks. Seeing the actual size of the tablet in comparison to other objects and having someone test a 3rd party USBC cable helped me make the decision to buy this tablet 👍
i bought this recently as my first pen display to venture into digital art and i love this thing so much! thank you so much for the review and for helping me decide on this pen display! also one thing about the usb-c connection not only do you need the right usb-c cord but you also need the proper usb-c port in order for the connection on your computer or laptop to work as well, the port needs to support thunderbolt in order to work if not then the usb-c connection will not work unfortunately
I have a question: Can the shortcut keys be assigned differently for various programs? Wacom's ExpressKeys can be program-specific, I hope Huion's are too.
As a left-handed user, I have 3 issues for this device: 1. For those who will use it for android phones/tablet, kamvas 13 is calibrated out of the box for right hand use. The pen stroke is leaning a bit on the upper left of the pen tip and the display cannot be rotated for lefthanders. In pen tablet only mode, no cursor appears on your android device 2. When connected to my Mac/PC, the tablet gets a bit warm on the upper right part. And since I am a lefty where the screen is rotated to 180 degrees, the warm part is now on the lower left. The same location where you rest your hand while drawing. This would feel uncomfortable and annoying when trying to get your things done. 3. Because of the issue of number 2, I am using it now on right hand mode. Which means the shortcut keys are no longer easily accessible for my right hand Aside from this, everything else is as advertised. Just not the best choice for left-handed artists
Honestly thanks for the review - even two years later. Specifically your information on the cables. I'm looking at this and couldn't find a straight answer on the cable situation before this.
I was waiting for you to review this tablet! I just got the Huion Dial last year, then they announced this one and I wished that it had the same android features. (The dial has android and apple support though its input only not a display) But like you said the support is not there yet. So I'm feeling the byers remorse a lot less now. Thank you. Also I hope Huion comes up with something innovative with their next iterarion of an affordable kamvas line, they've been killing it with the quality and budget friendly option.
Great video! I’m quite drawn by the price. I’m currently using the 12.9” IPad Pro (2nd gen) with the Apple Pencil, which works quite well using native iPad apps such as procreate. But, when using Side Car on my MacBook Pro, it’s comparatively laggy and the interface seems limited. Would you know how it would compare in terms of pressure sensitivity and refresh rate, and would you recommend it as a viable alternative to the iPad Pro?
Hi Brad, thanks a lot for the great videos. I will start new as a beginner/hobbyist. I can't decide between 13 pro and this one, do you think anti glare material on this one instead of an anti glare glass is a problem I would feel?
Hiya yall :D If you ever plan on buying the huion usb-c to usb-c cable, check the transfer speed of your laptop's usb-c cable first. Since huion doesn't really discuss this, not a lot of people know (I had to find out in a comment section). Anyways, some laptops only have a maximum transfer rate of 5gb/s for their usb-c ports but the tablet and it's cable requires 10 gb/s. You can probably look it up online. (I didn't know about it before buying the cable so now that's good money down the drain ; v ;)
thorough review, thanks! getting one of these right now so I can diagram stuff for my students while running a hackathon. Totally ready to sandpaper a usb cable.
I think the next drawing tablets is to make it more comfortable and more compatible on more platforms. Like more androids, cables actually connect, and more.
I've been trying to measure the width of the USB-C cable, from pictures, Huion USB C cable is about 11.44mm in width (plastic head). So far, most Amazon cables are at least 12.2mm+ The only cables that have a width smaller than 12 are Yeun Qee (11.16mm), CBUS (11.55mm) and Leirui (11.89), NeckTeck (11.9mm). Will be ordering Huion Kamvas next week and have a better measurement.
i really liked huions design and overall functionality but atm there is a firmware problem where the tablets disconnect and connect like a rave party. so i had to send this baby back. sadly.
Hi Brad! Do you have time to compare a Kamvas Pro 13 with updated firmware to this new model? I updated my Pro with the newest June firmware, and it behaves as smoothly as you describe this model, plus has Android support! The updates are super-easy now, the tool is on the support website. The new firmware really brings them close. Compared to the 2020, I still like the Pro's ventilated metal casing and etched glass, and now the calibration is better with the wobble completely gone. Is this a comparison others would like to see?
Thanks. Its a great video. Im planning to buy the kamvas product. But im split between pro 13 and this. One question: does both pro 13 and this model came with the stand or only the pro 13? Thanks. Stay safe and healthy.
Just went to buy it. The stand doesn't come with it, it's $25. If you get the cable at the time, it's $20 (may just get it). Total for stand and cable $284.99 USD
@@MelvilleG It will be a little while before it gets here. Placed the order about 3/4 through his video. It's only been a few days. I'll update when it come in.
Hello Brad! I hope you answer I'm late to the party but i want to buy kamvas 13. I saw 2 videos on your channel, and one of them is this video. I'm confused... Is it the same Tablet with a different versions (updates)?. Or is it a totally different tablet that was released in 2020?.
I had recently bought the Kamvas 13 and I gotta say it just came in the mail and the whole screen was broken. Obviously I was super disappointed and customer support is just waiting twiddling their thumbs not doing anything. Meanwhile, I tried to leave a review about how they just delivered a busted one (and I know it wasn't the carrier because the boxes were perfectly fine) and I learned that the reviews are pre-moderated. So not only can I not leave a bad review to show how disappointed I was it seems like no one else can.
I might not buy this because of the USB-C cable and the fact that it isn't touch screen BUT thanks for talking about infinite painter!! Sadly Hui-on sketch is down from the play store so I can't just directly update it anymore but WOW Infinite painter was just what I needed!! It's like the smoother version of Hui-on sketch and the large canvas is SO SO helpful. Thanks for the honest review!
do you have any opacity bumps when drawing lines soft to hard and soft again? one of my other huion tablets for some reason had an issue where it would spike unstable pressure levels at a medium press to it
Is this good for a beginner and what are you guys experience with huion. Are there products faulty? Plz tell me cuz some people say huion is bad and some say it is good. If it is bad I might save for a wacom one or a wacom cintiq 13
Anyone know what's going on with huions pricing lately? I was looking to get either the 13 or pro 16 from Amazon but the price difference got waaaay bigger than it used to be. Now I got no clue which to get...
@@vice4882 yeah I figured, I ended up caving anyways. Got my first display tablet despite the bump, rather just get it than wait months with the current state of things
I don't think you mentioned that you can use it if its screen is off (like a screenless pen tablet) to save battery, or that you can connect it to a Nintendo Switch for a bigger screen to play on. I've looked at a lot of videos because I really want one of these lol.
@@shirayukihime7384 Well android compatibility doesn't matter to me as i don't want to draw on my phone. And what exactly do you mean by "more vibrant"
Also, the xp pen doesn't seem to have these problems with hooks and blobs at the end of lines. *Edit:* Also note: I am talking about The xp pen artist 13 *Pro* not the old artist 12.
One way that i know of would be to buy a custom made "USB C to C", or "C to A" cable that has all the wiring necessary for data and power. All that is placed on both ends of the cable are heat shrink tubes. Not a must(imo), but it looks better. Prices may vary depending on where you get it and how you want it look since they are more targeted towards keyboard enthusiasts. That's the only way i know. Unless you make your own which i assume is not an extent most people would want to go.
Hi ! I have some questions.. 1-What’s the different between the USBC cable and the three-in-one? 2-Do i have to buy the USBC when i buy the tablet or three-in-one is just enough? 3-is there a specific connector i must buy to connect my laptop to the tab? And what type of connector is it? *my laptop is mac* thanks.
is the LCD screen okay for drawing? im thinking of getting this tablet because people complain about the grainy look on the screen on the 2.5k resolution tablets by huion. so i'll have to compromise having a more vibrant LCD screen of the 2.5k to get this tablet so im wondering about how good colors look on this.
yess, I've been thinking of getting a pen display since I finally have a laptop, but I'm not sure if I'll like it. I've been using my iPad 6th gen with an apple pencil for quite a while now, and I'm scared making the change from the iPad to pen display won't work out for me. Plus, there's also having to pay for a software monthly. Any advice?
I don't agree regarding the cable. You're asking them to include it, and then immediately recognizing that media cables are more expensive. That would raise the price of the Tablet when they realize that many people have them laying around. I think the better idea would be to sell a future/revised model with better USB-C clearance. Thanks for the review!
Ive had my Huion Kamvas gt191 for about... 3 years now. It still works perfectly fine. It came with an extra pen, but he first pen hasn't died on me yet. Id say it lastes for a long time if you're careful with it.
We just got this for our daughter for Christmas. And she loves drawing anime. What would you suggest for a program to use with it. We would like to have it loaded and ready to go for christmas morning, thanks Jason
Hey, love your videos. I am trying to decide on a which to buy. This 13 or the 13 pro? I have checked your site and you have the 13 Pro as the 2nd best.
$279.00 is incredibly affordable! You young guys starting out are spoiled rotten. Brad please run a Linux liveCD and test it on a couple of Linux distros. I'm still stuck on Wacom because of rotation and the crappy but still useful wacom airbrush stylus.
Does that 3 in 1 USB port (5:35) come with the HUION itself or did you already have it beforehand? Please I work with a Notebook and it doesn't have enough holes in neither side of it
Hello, i have 2.5k monitor and laptop, i am curious if when i connect the tablet to my pc to show on my monitor with the tablet screen off to mimic a screenless tab will it be stuck at 1080p or can it be made to match the 2.5k monitor since the screen is off?
Brad: YOU NEED A COMPUTER!!!! Also Brad: But you could also use an android device. Edit: I did my research (cough cough Amazon description) yeah you need a computer.
@Brad Colbow - If you had to choose between this Kamvas 13 or the XP-Pen 13.3 which would you suggest going with? I'm debating between these two at the moment.
@@kendrajingco1343 went with Kamvas 13. No regrets. It is as fluid as the iPad pro to draw on. Only thing it misses is touch, but almost none have touch until you hit the 1200 price point so can't complain. If willing to spend more the new Kamvas 24 plus looks amazing.
Hi Brad! I love watching your reviews! I just have a question about the connection for this gadget before buying it. I have Huion HS64 The Special Edition. Is it possible to use the provided wire connection of my Huion HS64 on the Huion Kamvas 13 2020? I was wondering if it’s okay because the separate add-on USB-C to USB-C cable is too expensive. Would that be possible? Hope you answer my question. 🥰
Hi Brad, great video! Congratulations for the awesome work! How this new one model is in the classification of Wacom Alternatives? It's better than XP PEN Artist 13.3? In your website still have the old one. Thank you for the good work!
my english its no perfect so I got a little lost about the android compatibility. I can plug the Huion to my android tablet to use it as a secondary screen, right? can you execute drawing tools and software from the PC or the tablet equally? I hear you said something about sketchbook but I didnt catch what it was, does it work fine? also, do you know how it works with animation tools like TvPaint? thanks so much for the review and sorry for so much questions. It indeed seems like a nice tablet and a good alternative to wacom products, since Wacom One its way more expensive (at least 40% more in my country)
2 questions. 1 are pens interchangable between huion batteryless graphic displays? so basicly can i use this pen also on my kamvas pro 21 with batteryfree pen. 2 can you run both the huion kamvass 13 driver/software and the kamvas 21 pro driver/software on the same laptop so i can leave my large screen at home and take with me my laptop and small screen..
Hi Brad, which one do you think is better between Huion Kamvas 13 and XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro? I'm trying to decide which one of the two I should buy. Thanks alot! :)
I want to ask. I have a problem with my laptop while drawing. Bcs the color of my final artwork on my laptop is different when I see it on my iphone. So I thought maybe bcs my laptop display is not hd (?) if that’s the right phrase. And you said that this display tablet has full hd display, so if I buy this tablet will the colors appear like how it appears on my iphone?
Hey Brad, may I just ask what version of Mac you are using, Intel or M1 system. Because I planning to get but I'm using M1 system and wondering how is the compatibility. Thank you
for those upset the usbc ports arent flush and saying its to milk cash out of you. they did this so if you have their cable its stuck in the recessed hole so if you yank the cables sideways you dont wreck the port . this way your port/cable connection will remain properly functioning for years unlike fush ports that have cables yanked so they need the be untouhced when inside or they lose connection. i bought the cable from huion and got a charging cable with it as well for if you hook it up to a phone and dont have the power for the display like that. and they are tight as hell. meaning no breaking the port

1. For those who will use it for android phones/tablet, kamvas 13 is calibrated out of the box for right hand use. The pen stroke is leaning a bit on the upper left of the pen tip and the display cannot be rotated for lefthanders. In pen tablet only mode, no cursor appears on your android device
2. When connected to my Mac/PC, the tablet gets a bit warm on the upper right part. And since I am a lefty where the screen is rotated to 180 degrees, the warm part is now on the lower left. The same location where you rest your hand while drawing. This would feel uncomfortable and annoying when trying to get your things done.
3. Because of the issue of number 2, I am using it now on right hand mode. Which means the shortcut keys are no longer easily accessible for my right hand
Aside from this, everything else is as advertised. Just not the best choice for left-handed artists
Honestly thanks for the review - even two years later. Specifically your information on the cables. I'm looking at this and couldn't find a straight answer on the cable situation before this.
I was waiting for you to review this tablet! I just got the Huion Dial last year, then they announced this one and I wished that it had the same android features. (The dial has android and apple support though its input only not a display) But like you said the support is not there yet. So I'm feeling the byers remorse a lot less now. Thank you.
Also I hope Huion comes up with something innovative with their next iterarion of an affordable kamvas line, they've been killing it with the quality and budget friendly option.
I am getting this for Christmas this year and I want to research. Thank you for reviewing it so I have knowledge about it!
Great video! I’m quite drawn by the price. I’m currently using the 12.9” IPad Pro (2nd gen) with the Apple Pencil, which works quite well using native iPad apps such as procreate. But, when using Side Car on my MacBook Pro, it’s comparatively laggy and the interface seems limited.
Would you know how it would compare in terms of pressure sensitivity and refresh rate, and would you recommend it as a viable alternative to the iPad Pro?
Just bought mine can’t wait for it to get here
Hi Brad, thanks a lot for the great videos. I will start new as a beginner/hobbyist.
I can't decide between 13 pro and this one, do you think anti glare material on this one instead of an anti glare glass is a problem I would feel?
up
Got the answer I was looking for concerning the cable. Thanks for going into that Brad, saved me $30 and the hassle and time of returning.
what cable did you buy? anddd do you sandpaper it?
How to spot if its the 2020 model? And what is the difference between this and the kamvas pro 13?
I just got this display, it's gonna arrive in a week or so, great video as always!
Hiya yall :D If you ever plan on buying the huion usb-c to usb-c cable, check the transfer speed of your laptop's usb-c cable first. Since huion doesn't really discuss this, not a lot of people know (I had to find out in a comment section). Anyways, some laptops only have a maximum transfer rate of 5gb/s for their usb-c ports but the tablet and it's cable requires 10 gb/s. You can probably look it up online. (I didn't know about it before buying the cable so now that's good money down the drain ; v ;)
Thank youuu QwQ
thorough review, thanks! getting one of these right now so I can diagram stuff for my students while running a hackathon. Totally ready to sandpaper a usb cable.
Seems like a good deal if you're buying it for windows.
@@j.allenfilms2589 i know its late , but maybe he means the lack of USB ports in MacBook?
Great review and videos, what is better? Huion kamvas 13 or huion pro 16? Hope you can help me with this decision?
I think the next drawing tablets is to make it more comfortable and more compatible on more platforms. Like more androids, cables actually connect, and more.
I've been trying to measure the width of the USB-C cable, from pictures, Huion USB C cable is about 11.44mm in width (plastic head). So far, most Amazon cables are at least 12.2mm+
The only cables that have a width smaller than 12 are Yeun Qee (11.16mm), CBUS (11.55mm) and Leirui (11.89), NeckTeck (11.9mm).
Will be ordering Huion Kamvas next week and have a better measurement.
can all of them been sandpaper , if the width is not enough
7:51, that's the best life hack I've seen in my life
i really liked huions design and overall functionality but atm there is a firmware problem where the tablets disconnect and connect like a rave party. so i had to send this baby back. sadly.
Aww I was hoping you’d cover more on the pen technology 3.0 vs the wacom pro pen 2
Bro you need like 1 mil subs, YOUR VIDS ARE SO GOOD
I am getting one and watched this video so many times i memorized every line! lol
i have been waiting for this video in weeks
Hi Brad! Do you have time to compare a Kamvas Pro 13 with updated firmware to this new model? I updated my Pro with the newest June firmware, and it behaves as smoothly as you describe this model, plus has Android support! The updates are super-easy now, the tool is on the support website. The new firmware really brings them close. Compared to the 2020, I still like the Pro's ventilated metal casing and etched glass, and now the calibration is better with the wobble completely gone. Is this a comparison others would like to see?
Thanks. Its a great video. Im planning to buy the kamvas product. But im split between pro 13 and this. One question: does both pro 13 and this model came with the stand or only the pro 13? Thanks. Stay safe and healthy.
Just went to buy it. The stand doesn't come with it, it's $25. If you get the cable at the time, it's $20 (may just get it). Total for stand and cable $284.99 USD
So how does it feel? Is the tablet worth it?
@@MelvilleG It will be a little while before it gets here. Placed the order about 3/4 through his video. It's only been a few days. I'll update when it come in.
It's still cheep.. just look at wacom one lol
@@bhgemini update?
Hello Brad!
I hope you answer
I'm late to the party but i want to buy kamvas 13.
I saw 2 videos on your channel, and one of them is this video.
I'm confused...
Is it the same Tablet with a different versions (updates)?.
Or is it a totally different tablet that was released in 2020?.
I had recently bought the Kamvas 13 and I gotta say it just came in the mail and the whole screen was broken. Obviously I was super disappointed and customer support is just waiting twiddling their thumbs not doing anything. Meanwhile, I tried to leave a review about how they just delivered a busted one (and I know it wasn't the carrier because the boxes were perfectly fine) and I learned that the reviews are pre-moderated. So not only can I not leave a bad review to show how disappointed I was it seems like no one else can.
I might not buy this because of the USB-C cable and the fact that it isn't touch screen BUT thanks for talking about infinite painter!! Sadly Hui-on sketch is down from the play store so I can't just directly update it anymore but WOW Infinite painter was just what I needed!! It's like the smoother version of Hui-on sketch and the large canvas is SO SO helpful. Thanks for the honest review!
Ah yes, I would very much like to know how I can avoid having to sandpaper my electronic devices
do you have any opacity bumps when drawing lines soft to hard and soft again? one of my other huion tablets for some reason had an issue where it would spike unstable pressure levels at a medium press to it
Would you recommend this or the xp pen artist display 13.3 pro
Well.. the quality is kinda equal. But I did see that the xp pen artist 13 does not have tilt support. By price both are affordable
Is this good for a beginner and what are you guys experience with huion. Are there products faulty? Plz tell me cuz some people say huion is bad and some say it is good. If it is bad I might save for a wacom one or a wacom cintiq 13
Anyone know what's going on with huions pricing lately? I was looking to get either the 13 or pro 16 from Amazon but the price difference got waaaay bigger than it used to be. Now I got no clue which to get...
Yea me too, i think it's for the pandemic you know...
@@vice4882 yeah I figured, I ended up caving anyways. Got my first display tablet despite the bump, rather just get it than wait months with the current state of things
Could also be amazon, things on amazon tend to have a price markup
I don't think you mentioned that you can use it if its screen is off (like a screenless pen tablet) to save battery, or that you can connect it to a Nintendo Switch for a bigger screen to play on. I've looked at a lot of videos because I really want one of these lol.
Which do you reccomend? This or the Xp-pen artist 12/13 pro
i recommend this...its android compatible and more vibrant
This one... Xp pen way behind
@@shirayukihime7384 Well android compatibility doesn't matter to me as i don't want to draw on my phone. And what exactly do you mean by "more vibrant"
@@Userdoesnotexit In what areas does it lack the most?
Also, the xp pen doesn't seem to have these problems with hooks and blobs at the end of lines.
*Edit:* Also note: I am talking about The xp pen artist 13 *Pro* not the old artist 12.
One way that i know of would be to buy a custom made "USB C to C", or "C to A" cable that has all the wiring necessary for data and power. All that is placed on both ends of the cable are heat shrink tubes. Not a must(imo), but it looks better. Prices may vary depending on where you get it and how you want it look since they are more targeted towards keyboard enthusiasts. That's the only way i know. Unless you make your own which i assume is not an extent most people would want to go.
I checked your website to see the top pen tabs. Does this replace the xp-pen artist 13.3? In the number 1 spot?
I would like to know aswell
Leaving a comment too so I'll know haha
Same question
I think it would fit in the number 3 or 2 spot
He added it to his #2 spot and the Huion Kamvas 12 as #3. The XP Pen still being #1
Hi ! I have some questions..
1-What’s the different between the USBC cable and the three-in-one?
2-Do i have to buy the USBC when i buy the tablet or three-in-one is just enough?
3-is there a specific connector i must buy to connect my laptop to the tab? And what type of connector is it? *my laptop is mac*
thanks.
Dang, I want the purple one so bad. I entered Huion’s giveaway for it though
is the LCD screen okay for drawing? im thinking of getting this tablet because people complain about the grainy look on the screen on the 2.5k resolution tablets by huion. so i'll have to compromise having a more vibrant LCD screen of the 2.5k to get this tablet so im wondering about how good colors look on this.
yess, I've been thinking of getting a pen display since I finally have a laptop, but I'm not sure if I'll like it. I've been using my iPad 6th gen with an apple pencil for quite a while now, and I'm scared making the change from the iPad to pen display won't work out for me. Plus, there's also having to pay for a software monthly. Any advice?
Get this one and you can buy clip studio paint which is powerfull and affordable.
Clip studio paint is one time purchase. And it's used by pros in the industry and really powerful.
Just pirate if you are earning $0 from your drawings but you absolutely need photoshop to learn.
Or buy affinity photo its cheap and one time payment.
@@Userdoesnotexit: Had a sale a week or two back CSP for $25. Higher priced one was about $100 for some features and longer animation.
I don't agree regarding the cable.
You're asking them to include it, and then immediately recognizing that media cables are more expensive.
That would raise the price of the Tablet when they realize that many people have them laying around.
I think the better idea would be to sell a future/revised model with better USB-C clearance.
Thanks for the review!
How long does these tablet survives i know that wacom survives longer but still want a comparison of these product and how these drivers last
Ive had my Huion Kamvas gt191 for about... 3 years now. It still works perfectly fine. It came with an extra pen, but he first pen hasn't died on me yet. Id say it lastes for a long time if you're careful with it.
What about the drivers,i heard that drivers are not so good
Ive had mine for a year now I think, its still working fine
We just got this for our daughter for Christmas. And she loves drawing anime. What would you suggest for a program to use with it. We would like to have it loaded and ready to go for christmas morning, thanks Jason
I'm waiting for a 4K Display from Huion
Dames but it's not 4k.. they got 24 inch Qhd which is 2.5k Res .. will drop somewhere this year
i hope youre happy now
Hey, love your videos. I am trying to decide on a which to buy. This 13 or the 13 pro? I have checked your site and you have the 13 Pro as the 2nd best.
$279.00 is incredibly affordable! You young guys starting out are spoiled rotten. Brad please run a Linux liveCD and test it on a couple of Linux distros. I'm still stuck on Wacom because of rotation and the crappy but still useful wacom airbrush stylus.
Does that 3 in 1 USB port (5:35) come with the HUION itself or did you already have it beforehand? Please I work with a Notebook and it doesn't have enough holes in neither side of it
Who’s watching this with a kamvas pro 13
me too and a bit regret it lol.
we don't have much shortcut than this version
I'm planning on drawing this but idk what to do
what is the difference? I means the pro one is THE PRO right??
@@sajulanda13 Same question here! I almost added the pro to cart..
@@sajulanda13 same im so so confused
Hello, i have 2.5k monitor and laptop, i am curious if when i connect the tablet to my pc to show on my monitor with the tablet screen off to mimic a screenless tab will it be stuck at 1080p or can it be made to match the 2.5k monitor since the screen is off?
Brad: YOU NEED A COMPUTER!!!!
Also Brad: But you could also use an android device.
Edit: I did my research (cough cough Amazon description) yeah you need a computer.
but an Android device IS a computer lol
@Brad Colbow - If you had to choose between this Kamvas 13 or the XP-Pen 13.3 which would you suggest going with? I'm debating between these two at the moment.
Same struggle. So what did you buy?
@@kendrajingco1343 went with Kamvas 13. No regrets. It is as fluid as the iPad pro to draw on. Only thing it misses is touch, but almost none have touch until you hit the 1200 price point so can't complain. If willing to spend more the new Kamvas 24 plus looks amazing.
@@YulRun Thank you so much, this is a big help
Ohhhh im early for the first time 😳😳✊🏻
No one cares about it
You still have to charge Pen in this version? Right?
I don't think so
The pen doesn’t need to be charged
Pretend I Said Something Funny!
Hi Brad! I love watching your reviews! I just have a question about the connection for this gadget before buying it. I have Huion HS64 The Special Edition. Is it possible to use the provided wire connection of my Huion HS64 on the Huion Kamvas 13 2020? I was wondering if it’s okay because the separate add-on USB-C to USB-C cable is too expensive. Would that be possible?
Hope you answer my question. 🥰
Great review! I still have one question for which I can't seem to find a straight answer... can you use Adobe Illustrator with the Huion Kamvas 13?
Hi Brad, great video! Congratulations for the awesome work!
How this new one model is in the classification of Wacom Alternatives? It's better than XP PEN Artist 13.3? In your website still have the old one.
Thank you for the good work!
being Brad's kid must be fun with his elite dad jokes
my english its no perfect so I got a little lost about the android compatibility. I can plug the Huion to my android tablet to use it as a secondary screen, right? can you execute drawing tools and software from the PC or the tablet equally? I hear you said something about sketchbook but I didnt catch what it was, does it work fine? also, do you know how it works with animation tools like TvPaint?
thanks so much for the review and sorry for so much questions. It indeed seems like a nice tablet and a good alternative to wacom products, since Wacom One its way more expensive (at least 40% more in my country)
Brad FYI For Dex, you can force apps to be in full screen.
Usb c
Brad : real hustle .
2 questions.
1 are pens interchangable between huion batteryless graphic displays? so basicly can i use this pen also on my kamvas pro 21 with batteryfree pen.
2 can you run both the huion kamvass 13 driver/software and the kamvas 21 pro driver/software on the same laptop so i can leave my large screen at home and take with me my laptop and small screen..
Hi Brad, which one do you think is better between Huion Kamvas 13 and XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro? I'm trying to decide which one of the two I should buy. Thanks alot! :)
is this device support 3D sculpting software like Zbrush, Blender, Maya, Game engines like Unreal Engine 4 & 5.
Hi, i'm currently looking for 13'' pen display, and i'm wondering which one is better Kamvas 13 (2020) or Kamvas pro 13 ? Any advices :) ?
I want to ask. I have a problem with my laptop while drawing. Bcs the color of my final artwork on my laptop is different when I see it on my iphone. So I thought maybe bcs my laptop display is not hd (?) if that’s the right phrase. And you said that this display tablet has full hd display, so if I buy this tablet will the colors appear like how it appears on my iphone?
I'm no expert in this, but I think they'll show up nicer, yes.
That horse is awesome
Hey Brad, I want to know if kamvas 13 is actually better than kamvas pro 13? Or they are just basically the same with trivial differences?
how do you manage to get the screen so bright? with the backlight on maximum its still super dim to me compared to my laptop screen....
Hey Brad, may I just ask what version of Mac you are using, Intel or M1 system. Because I planning to get but I'm using M1 system and wondering how is the compatibility. Thank you
for those upset the usbc ports arent flush and saying its to milk cash out of you. they did this so if you have their cable its stuck in the recessed hole so if you yank the cables sideways you dont wreck the port . this way your port/cable connection will remain properly functioning for years unlike fush ports that have cables yanked so they need the be untouhced when inside or they lose connection.
i bought the cable from huion and got a charging cable with it as well for if you hook it up to a phone and dont have the power for the display like that.
and they are tight as hell. meaning no breaking the port
