Now, this is a *"REAL"* review, that _breaks down the technicalities of the product._ Thanks for the detailed video.
Just decided to purchased it based on what I've seen on this video. Thanks, dude!
how is the tablet so far? What technical difficulties occured?
I'm thinking of buying this very screen tablet but I'm not sure of it now
@@orangejuice8881 same! ive heard many things but the only techinically diffuculties for anyone is that it is not a touch tablet (touchscreen) so you cant pinch to zoom in and out, and it will not work well with pressure sensitivity on photoshop so i dont reccomend that, aside it works well from many other drawing programs. its great for professional drawing and beginners because since its a 2020 model its super simple, it only has two cords it needs and a 3 in 1 cord comes in the box for laptop, charger, usb, usb c, hdmi and others. the 260$ version on amazon comes with the stand and glove vs the 240$ one so i reccomend the one with the stand
@@itsdisfears1702 thank you so much for the info! :D
I just got corel paint for 30 with Pinnacle on humble, so I kinda had to get this.
@@orangejuice8881 the Huion cables are also available for 40... I went with it so I can use it with my phone. 👌
You can find the link down in the comparison panel way down at the bottom.
This is my first drawing tablet, and it helped me so much! 😅 I don’t know a lot about these things so THANK YOU
It's android compatable as well
Hello, I can use other softwares in PC, for example clip studio or Z-Brush? or only can use PSD?
Ludwing A. R. M. Yes ofcourse, just download the driver and it will work on any program :)
Same
@@Larmaries Unless you have Windows lower than 7,yes.
Most detailed review I've found so far -
Much appreciated
This review is honestly one of the best and most helpful for me ! Thank you!
I love your videos, man. They're always so straight-forward, yet in-depth. That takes an art form. Keep up the great work!
best review of this ive seen....no one else zoomed into the screen like you did and showed the accuracy of the pen to cursor......which is what i wanted to see. so thankyou for geting in there with the camera and also going over display settings too as ive not seen that either on other review videos
This is a good review! Hope to see more like this. You gave us an in-depth review of kamvas 13... I'm choosing what to buy between kamvas 13 and wacom one. This video helped me a lot.
Thank you for how in-depth this was. This was a extremely helpful video
After this, I bought mine. my first ever pen display ;u;)7
your vids are so informative, covered hardware to software and answered all my questions regarding the tab ahhh
your reviewed helped me make the decision to purchase the kamvas 13! thank you so much. hope you're having a lovely day
I was torn between the slide pad and the aluminum body of the pro, but the added buttons, android comparability, and cabling options, in addition to the new pen sealed the deal.
Thanks for all the content, you always do the best and I really appreciate that.
thank for the review! still using my 22 inch Acepen 2150 and my new wacom 16hd, always wanted to give Huion a try, maybe next pen display.
This was such a great review, full of usable information. Thank you!
I Have the Huion 610 Pro Graphics Tablet.. Been Using it For 6 Years Fairly Regularly With PS & Corel Painter. It is Still Working Perfectly! So I Have Absolute Confidence in The Huion Brand. This Absolute Looks Like a Fantastic Deal!!! 😍
thank you for this, i think this will be my first display tablet. i can afford it and i really like ur review of it. it helps me and other young artists !
This is the most complete and honest review I've seen atm. I bought this tablet just today and probably will be on my hands tomorrow. It will be my first display graphic tablet and seeing this video helps a lot to understand more about it. Really thanks!
how's the tablet now?
@@snail9266 pretty cool! I'm really happy with this tablet, works very nice and although looks small, the size is actually comfortable.
The only bad thing is not including the stand, so I had to search for it apart.
@@SadCoffeeAddict oh nicee thanks for replying and I hope you continue to enjoy your tablet :))
also merry christmas!!
hello, and now? how's the tablet? or maybe the ending with it
Thanks for the detailed review! Highly appreciate ittt
I bought one yesterday for my son. Thanks for the tips. Very helpful 👌.
I ordered mine because this video its coming at the end of the month thanks Teoh it really helped
thank you for hearting it
I'll buy this. Thanks for the honest review.
Great review Teoh, i hope they send you the Kamvas studio 22 next, stay safe!
Just ordered mine yesterday and super excited !!!!
hah same!
I will be ordering this tomorrow and honestly this video has helped a lot with consolidating whether I was making a good choice or not. As a student going into a games art course I felt I needed to upgrade from the small drawing tablet I first bought to a pen display whilst still being on a budget, I haven't been able to work since the pandemic so funds haven't been too great. I can now sleep peacefully with the knowledge that I won't be making a bad decision
Hey! I am currently studying videogames art and this display is the choice that is winning so far, how is the tablet going for you?
@@Joserbala hi! On the whole the tablet has actually been working really well for me, 3 months in it works just as well as when I first bought it and I found that it was easy for me to use with my work. The display is great and the only downside would be the matte screen lamination can scratch a little easily if other slightly sharp objects come to contact with it. The buttons work well for me and the pen has a great feel to it too.
@@smoothramen5659 wow, that comment was pretty complete! Thanks! I'm currently waiting for the Kamvas 16 (2021) to show up in Amazon but if it doesn't, I will go for this one for sure, thank you!
@OiLogey hi, yeah it still works the same as when I had bought it
@@smoothramen5659 does it still work well even after a year? Orr
I only just ordered this product today! It said it would come on the 20th to the 25th so not that far away! I got it for more money because of where I lived which sucked but I found the cheapest one, and plus we also got to make a discount on it so that saved me about $50 which is nice. I had to get the USB-C to USB-C cables to connect to my Android phone so that also made it more expensive. I think this drawing tablet suits me because it can connect to android phones (depends what one but there is a lot of choices!), it's a really good size for newbies with drawing tablets (this is my first drawing pad), and reviews on it are great! There's only a few problems with it but not many! This video helped me as well thank you! I cant wait to get this drawing tablet in a week or a bit more!
Now thats a review! Great video man!
This is so helpful , u describe so clearly thank u !!!
Thank you you really explain and go through everything very helpful.
Exactly the info i needed thanks!
I just bought this tablet today because of this well explained review of the product.
Thank you so much for the video! It helped me to choose screen tablet and moreover, saved a lot of time with figuring things out when i bought it! I am happy like an elephant (that's a proverb from my country)!
Hope it works well for you. Share your review on Amazon
Awesome video. Very detailed! I noticed the issue with photoshop happens on my Wacom tablet as well
So glad your Kamvas 12 (2021) video popped up in suggestions last night. I haven't dabbled with computer art in years. Hated the detached feeling of the Wacom Graphire3 and couldn't justify the $$$ for the pro solutions.
I took your recommendation to go for the Kamvas 13 for the extra drawing area. As chance would have it, Huion had a Kamvas 13 Lightning Deal on Amazon Canada for $297 Cdn (reg $349) so I grabbed it + next day delivery.
Just set it up and did some quick doodling with GIMP. YES!! Exactly what I always wanted. Look at, draw on, see marks on the surface and not look at a remote display. I did some hatching and rows of uniform circles that I couldn't do with the Graphire3, if my life depended on it.
Now to configure the buttons and physical setup and have some fun!
This really helps. I have a background with graphic design many moons ago when PS was first on the market. No tablets then, just roller ball mouse or drawing pad. I bought this for my 12 yo as she is starting to get into digital art drawing and I don't have any experience using one. This was very helpful.
from the new 3 release of HUION i bought this one. 1st portability. 100% small compact power doesn't need to be on an outlet. just your laptop is enough
2nd the price no others can compare. 3rd how the tablet perform is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
hello, just for a searching: still working on it sakura?
I've always wanted to know if you needed both usb's to power the display! Very informative!
Im a mac user thank you so much for telling me the issue, that's totally helpful for me
Best review bro!!! I love it!!! (Really helpfull)
Great review!
Ordered one today after taking your review in to account :D
Hello, thinking of buying this, how are you finding it?
@@vep481 its fantastic, was a bit buggy to set up at first, but I think its because I have so many multiple monitors, once working I'd give it 10/10
Bought this yesterday hahaha waiting for it
this change my standard, i want to have one!
Spent years rejecting the ASMR movement til you put the mic up to the screen and started drawing strokes.... I get it now.
Great presentation, I love it
I ordered mine last week and hopefully it’ll arrive sometime on June! Your review helped me out but I’m still worrying about having issues with it :(
Hey! May I know if you faced any issues now that you've used it for quite some time?
plz tell us if you have any issues with it
@@harubaru4912 hello! I've been using the tablet for over a year now and it has been great! It massively helped my workflow. The only issues I've encountered are some software related ones but it does not happen frequently. At times drawing in photoshop causes me weird lines, but restarting the program fixes it so it really isn't a big of an issue. Also, if you're left handed, I suggest looking for other tablet alternatives other than the Kamva 13. I experience heat on my left hand while working with the left handed option (tablet rotated 180 degrees). I just use my tablet now on the right hand option and not using the macro buttons on the side because the heat could not be unnoticed.
@@mochiyoongs5565 hello, sorry I wasn't able to see your comment. If you do still need the response to your question, refer to the reply I have on the recent comment. Thank you!
im getting this for sure
i ordered this graphic display two days ago and i can't wait to try it out! i've been using my phone for drawing so this will be a very nice change :)) also great video, very helpful♥️
Hello! I know this had been a year ago already but how was it? Is it still working after a year?
yes, plz tell us how it is for you, I'm one step away from buying this tablet but Idk if its the right one since I want something long term, especially if I'm spending 500 dollars on it(the stuff included with it since this is my first tablet and a warranty)
@@shuesy9051 hello! yes the tables is really good so far, no issues and overall i think it's really worth it :DD and sorry for my late reply,,
@@harubaru4912 in my opinion it's worth it, i've been using it for the past year and i'm very happy with it. no issues and i gotta say, even though it was my first time using a tablet, it was very easy to get the hang of it :))
@@ladykayssia thank you so much! I was just afraid if I'll regret it and this being my first tablet scared me, I'll buy it :)
I don't know why I am watching this. Haha! It was on my recommended. Great review! I know there will be lots of people who appreciate this video.I know I would if I was in search for a tablet. :D ♥
I got the kamvas 16 a couple of weeks ago and am in LOVE with it. A week in I had some pressure issues with photoshop but was able to figure it out. It was $400 (after taxes and shipping) well spent. I'm very happy with it. I'm also happy my husband was able to ground me about buying the huion vs getting the wacom ($700-1200). Now I get to build a new computer with the money I didn't spend on a wacom AND I get to enjoy a wonderful tablet! YAY!
What happened with Photoshop?
@@teohyc For whatever reason every time I went to sketch lightly it would suddenly thicken the lines a lot. Almost like when you are writing with a pen and then a lot of ink comes out of the tip causing it to blot on the paper. It was something in one of the Photoshop 2020 files that was causing it. I saved the pdf for future reference but would need to go back and look at it. It was extremely annoying and almost caused me to return the tablet. I'm lucky my husband is very tech savvy and a computer science nerd . With his help we were able to figure it out. :)
@@strawberrik So how do you solve the problem?
@@jekesan4221 Honestly, I would need to ask my husband, as he spent the time looking for the solution. I know it had something to do with the Photoshop file. I may be able to check the PDF.
@@jekesan4221 community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/photoshop-wacom-erroneously-connecting-brush-strokes-with-straight-lines/m-p/7210263?page=1
I found the link that helped us solve my problem. If you are having a similar issue to mine, this might help. :D
The forum is for photoshop and wacom, but it worked for my huion too! :)
Nice review! One issue from other youtube video, if you drop pen accidentally on hard floor etc. etc. wire inside pen could cut from soldering.
Then wire have bad connection and give you lot of headache using pen, you start blame drivers, OS or Screen first.
If device not have warranty left, you could look inside pen yourself and solder that wire back.
It's good to mention they sell replacement screen protectors, though they don't seem to be availible in the EU, looks like they're in stock on the US store which doesn't ship here.
Also you don't have to buy the very overprices huion cable, you can get any usb c to usb c 10Gbps+ cable but most standard connectors don't fit normally so you either need the extender made exactly to solve this problem (I think like 8$ for two on amazon, probably can find cheaper) or sand it down to fit hoping the connector itself, without the potting, isn't weird and it'll itself fit.
I've been wanting to buy a display tablet but as a student I don't have much money to spare so this might be a good option. (:
great video!
I just ordered mine!
something to note (the tablets accuracy is highly unstable. depending on how you hold the pen the cursor or pointer becomes off set,this is most noticeable when doing line art, like when when you tilt the pen in different directions(its on the side of the nib and not below it ) i have been trying to fix this because its annoying,but it seems no amount of calibrations works! i hope they update the driver to make it an option to remove the tilt function,which i think is causing the problem
Did it get fixed? I’m about to get one
@@yesyes9698 YES
@@artslaughter1262 wow that’s a lot of yeses! Nice that you can.
Hello ! maybe your problem is the autorisations in MacOS, in settings. I had this kind of problem, and the drivers didn't have the autorisations to access inputs (keyboard) .
Great videos, keep it up :)
I don't think it's authorisation because the tools do work. But sometimes the tools perform differently compared to the tools I select.
Best display tablet review❤❤
$239? This sounds like a steal for what you're getting!
Is it available in Singapore yet?
I think Huion ships globally
im in au and u can also get from ebay/amazon and its closer to you!
I pre-ordered this and it was shipped to Singapore. Though I had a lot of FedEx shipping problems, and had to return for a new one, but the replacement got delivered as well.
yes it ships everywhere singa pore will have low custom charges too
I have the same problems in photoshop with a waccom, so I believe the problem is the app it self, not the pen display.
Delete all old tablet drivers you used in the past.
What problem are you referring to?
Actually you may want to calibrate your display. I have the Huion Kamvas 16 pro and out of the box it was way off. On some parts of the screen it was nearly a full centimetre off. You may also need to calibrate it after some use. I noticed for the first few days the calibration would drift. Once calibrated though, it worked great and even worked fine on my linux box. I did not test tilt, which likely would not work without the windows driver.
There wasn’t any offset for the pen and cursor that I could see so I did not had to calibrate it
nice review.
Thank you for such an honest and informative review! I have a Huion Kamvas 13 & a XP-Pen Artist 13.3 Pro. The Huion 13" price is trending up. But Artist 13.3 Pro tablet drawing experience is much better..
Ouh really?? Whats the difference? I wanna know
Hola Tom pitch.
¿Realmente tienes esos dos modelos? Eso es genial ¿Podría dar más detalles sobre su comentario, por favor? Estoy indeciso sobre esas dos tabletas. Muchas gracias.
@LORI Hi Lori. In the end I have decided on the xp-pen. I have seen and read several things that I did not like about the new Huion 13. 1 As with windows the power button does not work well, perhaps that is why it can be seen in some reviews that the power light constantly flashes green and red and that would bother me a lot, 2 that the tips wear out quickly due to the protective foil so rough they have put on it and 3 that the quick access buttons tend to get stuck. I have read more things but these three are the ones that are repeated the most, that is why I have finally decided on the xp-pen pro 13. I hope my research will help you hahahaha. I've hardly read anything bad about the xppen pro 13.3, quite the opposite. A greeting.
@LORI I think the stylus of xp-pen is better than huion. better drawing experience.
I'm getting this for Christmas
helpful review!!💕💕 question though, is the tablet touchscreen? I've seen reviews that say it is not
Not touchscreen
Thats awesome!
check your settings in photoshop, move tool, uncheck the show transform controls
Thanks man 😊
i think this or something like this will be on my list to have :)
I recently ordered this and it was perfect, except for one thing: the screen colour's werent accurate. Yes I did colour cal it in sm different ways, but I still couldn't get it 100% accurate and yes I am very picky. For instance, the orangey reds looked like deep, dark pinky reds instead. No matter how I colour calibrated it, it wouldn't change at all. Same with the blues--- it was a light blue but turned out more deeper purpley blue. I colour cal it by the tablet itself, by my nvidia graphics card and everything-- I just couldn't get it right so I had to return it and now I'm hoping to find a tablet thats perf like this huion tablet but more colour accurate. Just a heads up if youre colour picky like me.
sounds like a factory error, you could email huion and see what’s up maybe
@@emman.7612 It could be although I did order the xp pen and to be honest its similar issue. so i think its just how tablets are made??? with the display screens and colours ad stuff despite spending days tryna colour cab it i just gave up
@@HeiAMV did u find an alternative? I’m saving up for a cintiq 16 and my xp-pen artist 15.6 pro broke after one yr (I don’t recommend this alternative tablets for long term use-Wacom is the best)
@@HeiAMV ahh I see. I don't mind using inaccurate colours because I look up at my very nice/clear laptop screen. I'm used to hand and eye coordination so it's okay. I will also be using this tablet with the screen off so just a usual drawing tablet.
@@yeumu hey what would u recommend im not sure what to get Artist Display 13.3 Pro (13.3 inch) or the HUION 2020 Kamvas 13
cool review, really helpful! ☺️ what software were you using before photoshop?
Clip Studio or Medibang
What is the best program to use with the tablet? For cartoons and logos. I have CORELDRAW on my pc. Is that an option? Good video.
Hello Teoh, could you check if this pen works on the other Kamvas pro, please
This pen Is supposed to be betterand more precise than the original one from the Kamvas pro line. Could you make this test and give us your impression on the difference between the two iterations of the pens?
Hi Teoh, I would like to hear an in-depth comparison between the two pens from you also! Please!
Which is better, the kamvas pro 13 or this new 2020 kamvas 13? thanks
Hola señor Teoh Yi Chie.
¿Te das cuenta de que la línea de Kamvas 13 es más suave que la de XP-PEN artist pro 13? Muchas gracias, haces un buen trabajo con tus comentarios
this or XP Pen Artist Pro 13, btw great in depth review!
I just bought my first drawing tablet (video) and I cant wrap my head around the setup? This tablet is a 21 inch UGEE but only 1080p like most of them. The problem is that all my other monitors are 4k and all my photoshop files are all high 4k plus images and if I mirror the main monitor, it forces them both to regular old 1080p. I there another way to set this thing up so I can switch from the drawing tablet (1080p) to my main editing monitor which is 4k? Any help would be appreciated as I am new to these tablets.
Great review!
Thank you especially for confirming the main difference between the pro edition and this one. Also adding in your thoughts about multiple software's, particularly krita, for those of us who refuse to drink the adobe koolaid.
There's a con, missing from your list. The USB-C port is milled in such a way that you *must* buy a cable from Huion, you cannot just use any USB-C cable.
No wonder they are selling such expensive USB C cables
@@teohyc Indeed. Bit of a deceptive dog move by Huion. Hopefully they refresh the pro version and fix that.
I bought the Kamvas pro 24” but it’s too big n clunky. I can’t find a comfortable set up with my keyboard and 2nd monitor. I just ordered this for a few reasons. The anti glare glass is not my preference. I like the paper-like smoothness to draw on but with light backgrounds the noise from the matte finish is terrible. Bothers my eyes so much over time where I don’t even wanna draw. With the kamvas 13 at least u can remove it and u can replace it with a regular clear screen protector found on Amazon. I’m planning on using the felt nibs instead also on Amazon. Plus the green n purple color options looks so cool 😎
Very informative! Could you please make Kamvas PRO 13 review for comparison?🙂
I love the clicky buttons they make my brain happy
Hi Teoh! The active area in the tablet looks bigger than what the specifications say. Please could you tell us which are the real dimensions?
the mouse mode is nice if you just want to use it as a monitor though
Hello, i have 2.5k monitor and 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?
Hi, I'm deciding on xp pen pro 13.3 or huion 13 (2020). Can't seem to decide on both and I'm just a beginner. Which is better and has more worth? Please do tell honest opinions :). Thank you!!
so i just realize this is using HDMI and my assumption is since my laptop is output a display via DP that mean it won't work, and i have to use the usb c to usb c (Thunderbolt 3 or 4) which not included in the box but if i buy one that mean i can't use my usual setup which is laptop to monitor via thunderbolt 4, regardless this is still a useful review
what do you prefer this or the xp pen 13 pro? they both have black friday deals and I'm unsure which to pick
Got this Kamvas 13. It's good except that I experience the driver randomly disconnect and reconnect cycling a few times. It's very annoying. I tried it with their older driver the problem still persists, so I plug the additional USB Type-A into the wall but the problem still persists. I suspect I have an intermittent hardware issue if the rest of the users don't have the problem.
In the end, I ordered a Kamvas 16 pro, hope I will have more luck with it.
So, is there any issue after you buy the 16 pro?
@@sabrinapalette6883 None. Use it every day for the past 6 months.
The cycles usually happens when I open steam on my Kamvas 13.
You are awesome!
Hi, what would you say is the best 13 or 16 inch pen display available at the moment?
I have a tough time finding a good example of how this works on android. My phone is compatible but will it work with any Android app? For example, I want it to work with Evernote's sketch feature.
Such a great tablet
very nice video !! I'm searching a new tablet to replace my xp-pen artist 12 ! thank you for yout awesone video !
Art’ist Drawing why do you want to replace it
May i know why?
Why'd you want to replace it? They are about the same level performance wise.
Jeke San
I replaced it because the xp-pen had a Problem with the 3 in 1 cable and the screen was very small and of low quality
And now I have a Huion Kamvas 16
Hi Teoh! Can you tell us more about your laptop setup? Why choose Win 10 for the macbook? How did you do that? Signed - Very Curious in Ohio. :D
I need to test such products on Windows and Mac, that's why I have Windows installed on this MBP. You can install Windows using the Bootcamp app in MacOS.
they trick you you think the big stand is the screen but its underneath a really mini one
What is the best drawing program to use this with? I did not hear you name the first program you used. What is easiest for a beginner? Thank you for the nice review.
Try free ones like Krita, Medibang Paint Pro, Autodesk Sketchbook
Hi, I can Put it a display protector (This protector in smartphone)? I guess that over time was scratched with the pencil.... no?
may you recommend me which one is more great between wacom one display and kamvas 13? thank you
If you have to choose between xp pen 13 pro o huion camvas 13 pro...which one do you choose
BTW, as of 2021/03/07, the Screen Switch option doesn't have that intermediate click. Just toggles between the two displays now. I set the bottom pen button to do the screen switch. Great for quickly getting to the GIMP tools on the laptop screen.
Great that they updated the driver
@@teohyc WinDriver v15.2.10.529
Only thing I've noticed is that in low light, I found I was pressing the wrong left shortcut buttons. #2, #4, #5 and #7 have a little bump to help, but I think a colour difference for the buttons would also be helpful. I've put 6mm colour dot stickers on #1-Red, #3-Yellow, #6-Yellow and #8-Red. No more wrong button presses.
So far with GIMP, these shortcuts mappings are working nicely for me.
#1-Pen, #2-Brush, #3-Airbrush, #4-Scrollwheel Forward, #5-Scrollwheel Backward, #6-Eraser, #7-Redo, #8-Undo, PenBottom-Switch Screen, PenTop-MouseRightClick
And I see I can use Device-Backup and Restore for managing shortcuts,etc. for different apps.
Delighted to have discovered these pen displays!
You Have Great Videos I bought the huion kamvas gt 191 because your older vid now it not very good D: but looking at this one
That's an old tablet, huion's quality is getting better each year.
@@federrr7 yes it is ALOT better now i meant the tablet isnt very good
Huion products are generally great... Just don't drop the pen... Mine fell off the desk a few times too many and I have to get a new one, it works it just now draws/presses when it's hovering. There is a barrel-type magnet inside the pen which broke it's my fault for being careless it's strong but not that strong. Also, I clearly need a larger desk.
I plan to buy one of these but so far I've only seen reviews using only 2D drawing applications (like Photoshop). Can it be used with zbrush for 3D sculpting? I've read in the past that not all display tablets work with 3D programs.
Unfortunately I am not too sure. You have to ask Huion
